This was his statement:</div><div><br/></div><div>“It has come to my attention that the Instagram account @isabelledaza, which appears to be owned by actress Isabelle Diaz Daza, has posted a travel photo with the hashtag #siquiWhores. Before jumping into conclusions, I would like to hear directly from Ms. Daza whether the offensive term #siquiWhores is a description of herself and her companion or a judgment to my beloved people of Siquijor. As the vice-governor of the province, I am worried on how such a foul and offensive word would damage the reputation of the Siquijodnons in the long-run. I believe every citizen of Siquijor deserves a clarification from Ms. Daza on the matter.#siquijor.”</div><div><br/></div><div>As of today, Isabelle has kept mum about the issue. However, after the controversial hashtag, she again posted another photo the day after of her and a friend in a beach with a new hashtag “#SiquiHOES.”</div><iframe class='instagram-media instagram-media-rendered' id='instagram-embed-0' src='https://instagram.com/p/35kybTq2fq/embed/captioned/?v=4' allowtransparency='true' frameborder='0' height='763' data-instgrm-payload-id='instagram-media-payload-0' scrolling='no' style='border: 0px; margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 4px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.498039) 0px 0px 1px 0px, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14902) 0px 1px 10px 0px; display: block; padding: 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);'></iframe><script async='' defer='' src='//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js'></script><div><br/></div><div>Her followers defended her and said it was just a wordplay and the actress has no intention to ruin Siquijor’s name.</div><div><br/></div><div>Isabelle’s latest post as of press writing on Instagram is her reading a book entitled “Brand Aid: Taking Control of Your Reputation – Before Everyone Else Does” by Larry Linne, seem to have relevance with the controversy she’s in.</div><div><br/></div><div>She said in the caption “How ironic is it that I’m reading this book right now?
