Hindi na raw nagpapaapekto si Derek Ramsay sa mga pamba-bash na tila kadikit na niya noon pa man hanggang ngayon.

Sa latest interview ng aktor sa Push ng ABS-CBN, sinabi niyang ang mahalaga sa kanya ay ang mga taong nagmamahal at naniniwala sa kanya.

“It comes with the territory, you know? My advice on this is, if you don’t know these people, why let it affect you? For me, it’s the people that you love, the people you are close to. What they believe in you is what’s important, and what you believe in yourself,” pahayag ni Derek.

“So all that noise is just noise. In one ear and out the other. Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me,” patuloy niya.

Aminado naman siyang nasasaktan din siya, pero sa huli ay pinipili na lang niyang huwag magpaapekto.

“Is it painful? Is it hard? Yeah, I guess. But at the end of the day, before I go to bed, I tell myself: this is just all noise,” aniya.

Pero minsan ay sumasagot din daw siya, lalo na kung marespeto ang pagkakasabi kahit negatibo.

“Sometimes, I answer these people. Actually, if it’s constructive, even though it’s negative, if it’s constructed in a diplomatic and polite manner, for me, I answer,” sey niya.

“Take a breath and just say they have this opinion of me and they expressed it in a polite way. Consider it. But if you don’t agree with their opinion, then just move on or respectfully reply. But those people who aren’t like that, those people aren’t happy with their lives. Whatever they are going through, I just wish them well,” saad pa ng aktor.

Iniisip na lang daw niya na marami pang taong may mas malaking problema kaysa sa kanya.

“Weigh the scale. You have that and you have this. Why are you going to focus on this? I have a daughter. I have my parents. I’ve had a very fruitful career. I’m healthy. I get to travel the world. I have a roof over my head. There are other people out there who have bigger problems, right?” he said.

Ito rin ang payo niya sa mga nakakaranas ng matinding pamba-bash na naaapektuhan na ang kanilang mental health.

“Mental health is real and there is a lot of bashing and fake news. But those who get it and who are feeling low about it, just imagine what kind of life these people have who are making an effort to say something hurtful to you. They must be going through something bigger than you. So brush it off. You’re alive, you’re breathing, and just tell yourself that that’s life. Move on. We got to live life and be happy. That’s what life is all about,” ang advice ni Derek.

“Sayang lang ang oras natin dito sa earth if we are going to focus on the negative things in life. Life will be boring if you’re always at the top. That’s the great thing about life. It’s a rollercoaster, so enjoy it. When you’re down, tell yourself there’s only room to go up. When you’re up there, enjoy it, because there’s going to be a dip somewhere in the future,” dagdag pa ng estranged husband ni Ellen Adarna.

HINDI maitago ni Sparkle actress Glaiza de Castro ang pagka-overwhelmed sa pagpapalabas ng kanyang latest project na 58th sa 2026 International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR). 

Nasa Netherlands ang aktres para sa mga piling screening ng animated film ng GMA Public Affairs at GMA Pictures na may kinalaman sa Maguindanao Massacre.

Pagbabahagi ni Glaiza sa kanyang social media account, “This was the very first time I watched our film, and honestly, I was so nervous. We shot all of our scenes with minimal practical props and relied mostly on our imagination to envision everything. 

“But seeing it all come together—the animation, the actual footage, and the way the story was retold, made me really proud to be part of this project.”

Iba rin daw ang pakiramdam na kasama niyang mapanood ang docu-film ang mga kapwa-Pinoy sa Netherlands. 

Aniya, “It was also meaningful to watch it with fellow Filipinos who have been living here, and although it was a sad event, it reminded all of us that we should never stop questioning and never lose hope. What an incredible first film festival experience!”

Ginampanan ni Glaiza rito ang role na Reynafe Castillo, ang anak ng nawawalang photojournalist na si Reynaldo ‘Bebot’ Momay, na ginampanan naman ng yumaong aktor na si Ricky Davao (RIP). 

Ito ang kauna-unahang pagkakataon na makakasama ang GMA Network sa IFFR.
