Q & A
On the spot:
Why did you enter showbusiness?

Modeling, student

"When I do something out of obligation and not trying my best."
What do most people not know about you?

What are you most proud of?
"That I’m a real person. I’m just me, I don’t pretend to be anyone else. I make mistakes and I accept that no one is perfect and kasali na ako doon. I don’t pretend to be anything more or anything less than what I am."
What do you value most?
"My morals, my beliefs, my religion, my purity, my family, my friends, my God and myself."
What do you want to achieve?
"I just want to get to the point where I am content, where I don’t need random things or certain people to make me feel complete. Actually, I’ve achieved it."
