MANILA, Philippines —
To make ends meet for her family, Princess must step up as the breadwinner. As Princess’ story unfolds, she faces life’s challenges with courage, determination, and a dash of humor. “I know how to bike. Kasi padyak naman so tatlo ang gulong. But there are adjustments because ngayon lang ulit ako nag-work ng super, super requires physical . So I should be ready.
“Before, when I would not be feeling well, , ‘It’s OK, it’s normal.’ But now, I’ve become more conscious , especially now that I’m taking maintenance for life. I also do regular blood tests,” she maintained. “I told them, ‘You want me to be partnered with Alden? Baka mamaya sabihin nila parang ako nanay ni Alden.’ Direk Nuel told me, ‘We chose you because of your talent hindi dahil sa hitsura mo.’”
Moreover, to the people who might be going through the same thing, the actress offered these words of encouragement: “Don’t be afraid. I have to admit, when I was younger, meron ako like nararamdaman but of course pipilitin at pipilitin natin ibalewala yun, especially when we are scared of going to the hospitals like me.
