So why is it that you’re not in a steady relationship now?

Galing ako sa isang relationship where I was so traumatized abused. So the truth is I find it hard to get into a relationship again because I’ve begun to build this wall na lagi kong iniingatan na…teka sandali, baka mamaya saktan ako nito. That is why I often find myself pushing away. 


Since we’re touching on sensitive things, I’d like to get a bit serious: So what words can you offer other women who may have gone through the same thing?

I’ll be honest, it was hard to recover from what I’ve gone through. Yung pati ang family mo they blame you, so ang feeling mo wala kang kakampi. You begin to feel like everyone you know is blaming you for having a failed relationship, imbes na i-comfort ka o alalayan ka nila—sa akin walang ganon. So if you’ve been through the same situation and I you have family to comfort you, embrace it, it’s a good thing. Appreciate that they’re willing to help you. 


How are you now?

Okay na naman ako ngayon. It helped that I was able to switch careers when I was in US. Pumasok ako sa real estate para ang isipin ko, puro numbers naman, so I was able to focus on a different thing. It helped me get my confidence back.  


This shoot, though, could usher in a showbiz comeback for you. Would you still want to do it full time?

I’m speaking for all of us Viva Hot Babes, kung may tatanggap naman saming lahat ulit, it will be a good thing. But hindi naman namin pipilitin, especially me, baka kung ano pa ang masabi ng mga bashers diyan. Ang dami ko nang bashers ayoko nang dagdagan pa ang galit nila! And alam ko naman marami kaming haters, lalo na yung mga asawa ng mga guys  na yan! We don’t need any more of that drama! Sa inyo na ang mga asawa niyo, hindi na namin aagawin yan, ha ha ha!


So this is where we allow you to address your bashers. The floor is yours. 

Sa mga bashers diyan, wala na ba kayong ibang alam na buhay kundi mang-tsismis at manira ng ibang tao. Ano’ng mapapala niyo diyan? Wala! You attract negativity with your hate. Isipin niyo na lang kung paano kayo aasenso, mas maganda pa yon.
