In an interview with Philstar News she said, “I guess I gathered the confidence from other people I love and other women I admire like Ate Angel Locsin, Ate Bea Alonzo. When I saw them fight, it encouraged me to fight. I realized that I have to choose my battles and what I’m really trying to win.”
Also one of the reasons that pushed her to be outspoken is because she’s using her voice to fight for children’s rights.
