Sinagot ni Liza Soberano ang mga nagsabing “ungrateful” siya matapos mag-viral ang kanyang kamakailang vlog, na umani ng iba’t ibang reaksyon mula sa kanyang mga kasamahan sa entertainment industry at online netizens.
Ibinahagi niya sa vlog ang kanyang mga saloobin at insight sa kanyang 13-taong showbiz career sa ABS-CBN bago lumipat sa management company ni James Reid, na “Careless.”
“I guess my video was really up for other people’s interpretation but I know my piece and I am very grateful,” aniya sa isang eksklusibong panayam sa ABS-CBN News.
Nag-trending sa social media ang aktres nitong nakaraang dalawang araw, at inamin niyang may mga tumatawag sa kanya na “ungrateful,” “inggrata,” o “walang utang na loob” sa Filipino.
“I feel like a lot of people have mixed reactions towards my vlog, but I’m speaking from my experiences and I will reiterate that I am truly grateful for everything that I had and everything that I had experienced, everything that I have achieved in life. And I acknowledge that I wouldn’t have any of that if everybody along the way wasn’t there with me,” ang pahayag ni Soberano.
Ipinaliwanag ni Soberano na ang pinakamahalagang bagay na lagi niyang sasabihin sa lahat ay “salamat,” at iyon ay hindi pa rin nagbabago hanggang ngayon.
“Even before I decided to sign for a new management company, I was always there for everybody who has helped me along the way and my journey. I’m not upset about anything. I’m just stating facts, things I’ve experienced, things I’ve been through, and how I am moving forward from that,” dagdag pa ng aktres.
Samantala, sinagot din niya ang lumabas na video ng kanyang dating manager na si Ogie Diaz, na sinabi niyang napanood na niya.
Sabi ni Soberano, sumasang-ayon siya sa mga nasabi ng dating manager, maliban sa tungkol sa usapan sa kanyang screen name na “Liza.” Dagdag pa ng dating Kapamilya actress, maari namang ipagpatuloy ng mga tao ang tawag sa kanya na Liza, isang screen name na patuloy niyang gagamitin.
“When I mentioned that in my vlog, that was more of me just stating a fact. I never mentioned that I didn’t like the name ‘Liza Soberano’ or that I wasn’t proud of it. It’s just the fact that I wasn’t the one who chose my name because that’s one thing that a lot of people don’t know about me,” paglilinaw niya.
Patungkol kay Diaz, ayon kay Soberano, “I want to tell him that I’m very grateful for everything that he has contributed to me, personally and to my career, and I will always be grateful for that.”
