Kapuso star Sanya Lopez said she has a lot to prove before becoming one of GMA Network’s biggest stars.
“Parang hindi pa po. Ang dami ko pa pong kailangang gawin. Siguro po ang dami ko pang dapat patunayan bago ko po masabi na ganon na talaga. Kasi, parang pagdating po sa ganong level, ibang level na po ‘yun.”
During the media conference for her contract renewal with GMA Artist Center on July 29, Lopez shared how she handles her success as a Kapuso after First Yaya.
“Talagang hindi ko po iniisip kung ano ako ngayon. Lagi ko pong iniisip, ikaw si Shai. Ikaw pa rin si Shaira. Lagi kong nire-remind ‘yung sarili ko na, ‘tandaan mo ito ka dati. ganyan ka dati.’ Gusto ko po lagi na nire-remind ‘yung sarili ko para hindi lumaki ‘yung ulo ko.”
Lopez added that she reminds herself to stay humble despite the blessings she received.
“Kapag sobra sobra na ‘yung blessings na natatanggap mo kailangan mo pa ring i-remind ‘yung sarili mo na, ‘o kalma ka lang. And, kung ano man ang nangyayari sayo maging thankful ka lang talaga.
“Pero wag na wag mo talagang ilalagay sa ulo mo kung ano man ‘yon. At maging happy ka lang. At, kung may kaya kang i-share, mag-share ka na lang sa iba. Makapagpasaya ka ng iba.’
“Gusto rin talagang i-remind ‘yung sarili ko na kung ano man ang ibinibigay sa akin, please stay humble. Kasi ‘yun ‘yung minahal ka ng mga tao eh, ‘yung pagiging ganon mo lang.
“Sabi ko nga kanina kung sino man ‘yung Sanya na nakilala n’yo, ako pa rin po ‘yung Sanya na nasa harapan ninyo.”
Lopez became a household name after the success of First Yaya, wherein she took on the role of Yaya Melody. The GMA Network teleserye consistently topped ratings until its finale. Many are hoping for a second season for the beloved series.
Aside from her role in First Yaya, she became Senator Bong Revilla’s leading lady in the recently concluded Kapuso fantasy series, Agimat ng Agila.
