“Thank you. It is sooooooo difficult to not speak my TRUTH. Because when people actually watch the movie they’ll know what I mean. I was given strict instructions to not say a word until the go signal from @wbpictures office gives me the Philippine trailer to upload. Ito lang po ang pwede kong sabihin- IKINATABA ng puso ko na sobrang nagmamahal sa lahat ng Pilipino na nakikipagsapalaran sa lahat ng sulok ng mundo sa maliit o malaki mang posisyon, na ako yung napili for this role. Kasi nga binitbit ko yung ‘identity’ natin. And we owe @kevinkwanbooks a big THANK YOU. He fought for us. I never claimed the role had long exposure BUT it is very MEANINGFUL. And we can be proud! For all those times we felt judged or looked down upon- this time in Crazy Rich Asians- tayo ang tiningala. #waitlang”
