Rica Peralejo at the launch of Cebu Pacific's Juander Far and Wide campaign on October 9, 2023, held in Blackbird, Makati.MANILA, Philippines — Rica Peralejo shared her thoughts on "religiosity" and "fearmongering" after some internet users called her out for wearing costumes for Halloween.
"Halloween has become wholesome in some ways, especially so for the kiddie parties and village trick or treating. So many kids now adults have had the best memories and family time every Halloween because the spirit has become so childlike," she wrote. "Fearmongering amongst Christian circles is so bothersome. So mamy parents have come up to me saying they were told not to for all sorts of things," Rica said.
Rica asked if people realize that their actions and thoughts "imply arrogance and pride" over their belief that they hold the one truth and correct answer.
