Young star Andrea Brillantes gamely answers rumors about her having a bad attitude during her YouTube vlog where she read about assumptions towards her.
The 18-year-old actress is best known for her antagonist role in the revenge Kapamilya series Kadenang Ginto.
In her YouTube vlog, which premiered on September 24, Brillantes said that she was the one who was bullied at school, contrary to her role in Kadenang Ginto.
“Ako ‘yung nabu-bully lagi sa school. Lagi nilang tinatawag na higad ako, kasi nga sa kilay ko, tsaka kasi ako ‘yung pinakamaliit… Wala akong friends, as in pagpasok ko pa lang sa school, nursery pa lang, wala na akong friends. Hindi nila ako sinasali sa laro nila, lagi lang akong nasa corner. Ako ‘yung ganung bata dati,” she explained.
She then admitted that being bullied at school made her distant from the people around her, which gave her a bad attitude.
“Ang dami talagang taong nagsasabi na suplada ako. Dati kasi sobrang mahiyain ako. Kasi nga ‘di ba ako ‘yung laging hindi pinapansin, ako ‘yung laging nasa sulok lang, ako ‘yung laging binu-bully so hindi ako namamansin ng mga tao kasi feeling ko lahat sila aawayin lang ako,” she said.
However, Brillantes said that she is working on her attitude and opening up to people more.
“Pero ngayon winork out ko na ‘yung personality ko kasi nami-misinterpret ‘yung pagiging mahiyain ko sa pagiging maldita. ‘Yung wall ko medyo bine-break ko na siya. Kahit maraming masamang tao hindi dapat ‘yun maging dahilan para baguhin mo ‘yung pagiging mabait mo,” said the actress.
Andrea Brillantes entered the showbiz industry in 2010. She was only around seven at the time. She only received her big break in 2013, where she played a major role in Annaliza.
Despite being in the showbiz industry for a long time, Brillantes previously expressed her insecurities towards newbies in showbiz that tend to overtake her on opportunities.
Brillantes wondered why some newbies seem to have an easy way of achieving success while she had to go through a lot of sacrifices and wait for years.
Currently, she stars in the Kapamilya series Huwag Kang Mangamba. The series airs on A2Z, TV5, and worldwide via TFC.
