single mother. If a guy gets a girl pregnant, he’s right an it’s natural. But if a
girl gets pregnant, malandi siya. When the news spread of my pregnancy,
people say, she’s on top of her game. People make stories like she’s malandi or
a woman of the world. Was I unfairly judged? Yes! But then did it stop me?
No, but does it keep me stronger? Yes! Label is a challenge I accepted. I want
to show you people that no matter what happens to you, it should never stop
you from being successful. As an actress, I’ve never been happiest. And being
a single mom and parent give me purpose. Sayang! I don’t think so! Can you
whip it? I did!”.
