Kapuso star Herlene Budol has been turning heads with her successful drama series ‘Magandang Dilag.’
The show has consistently received high ratings, leading to an extension of its run. However, despite her newfound fame, Herlene is taking a humble approach to her career and is not rushing to pick her ideal leading man just yet.
While initially hesitant to disclose her preferences, Herlene eventually revealed that her dream leading men include Alden Richards, Coco Martin, and Daniel Padilla. Alden Richards is affiliated with GMA Network, while Coco Martin and Daniel Padilla are known for their work with ABS-CBN.
Herlene admits that she feels starstruck when she thinks of working alongside any of these accomplished actors, indicating her respect and admiration for all celebrities.
At present, Herlene is dedicated to her work and business endeavors. She has developed a thick skin and no longer allows negative comments or detractors to affect her. She emphasizes the importance of staying confident and determined in the face of criticism, encouraging others to disregard those who seek to belittle them.
Dr. John Paul Pareja, a significant influence on Herlene’s journey, has played a vital role in boosting her confidence by providing health and beauty treatments. Herlene expresses deep gratitude for the positive impact this transformation has had on her self-esteem. Her newfound confidence shines through in her demeanor.
In the past, Herlene faced criticism, particularly when she participated in Binibining Pilipinas, with some critics suggesting her physical attributes were her only strength. However, rather than being discouraged, Herlene used such comments as motivation to improve herself.
When asked about the value of her transformation, Dr. John Paul Pareja estimated that Herlene’s newfound confidence is worth between ₱800,000 and ₱1 million.
Despite her remarkable transformation, Herlene remains grounded and does not seek to boast about her journey. She appreciates the path that brought her to this point in her career, recognizing that her past experiences have contributed to the person she has become today.
