Rica Peralejo expresses urgency to leave the Philippines

Former actress Rica Peralejo has announced she is making plans to leave the Philippines, citing a growing sense of urgency and heartbreak over the country's current state. In a series of posts on Threads, the 45-year-old expressed deep frustration with what she described as an unfair system where those who follow the rules are disadvantaged compared to others.

Peralejo noted that her decision is driven not only by dissatisfaction with the government but also by the behavior of some citizens. She remarked that the negative reactions she received from netizens regarding her sentiments further discouraged her, stating, “It is not just the government... it is also the people.”

Her recent comments follow a period of public questioning regarding tax requirements for content creators. While she has not specified a destination or a timeline for her departure, she expressed empathy for Filipinos who have already moved abroad to seek better opportunities.
