Actress Jessy Mendiola asked for forgiveness from the people that she might have offended when she was still young and new to the showbiz industry.
She made the revelation in her YouTube vlog that premiered on October 22 where she asked the netizens regarding their assumptions about her.
One netizen mentioned that he thought of Jessy as someone who is mean to which the actress agreed.
She said that she can be mean at times when she has her menstrual period or when she is hungry. She revealed that she was mean when she was younger because she was not yet happy at that point in her life.
“Masungit daw ako? Minsan. Kapag dalaw ng buwan or kapag gutom, hangry ako. Noong medyo bagets-bagets pa ako, masungit talaga ako kasi hindi rin talaga ako masaya sa buhay ko. I think ‘yon ‘yong kumalat sa tabloid or kumalat sa production na masama ang ugali ko. Aminin ko talaga, masungit ako noon,” she said.
She explained that when a person is not happy with his/her life, one would always bring that negativity and it would reflect no matter where they go or what they do.
“Kapag hindi ka happy sa life mo, kapag hindi ka happy sa personal life mo or sa nangyayari sa iyo, parang nadadala mo ‘yon sa trabaho or kung saan ka man mapunta. Kasi hindi masaya ang heart mo, hindi masaya ang isip mo, kaya ka nagiging masungit sa ibang tao. Pero may ibang tao, in my case, hindi ko alam na masungit pala ako noon, bugnutin ako, lagi akong galit, lagi akong masungit,” said Jessy.
She then apologized to all the people that she encountered before that she might have been mean to.
“So mga nasungitan ko noon. I’m very, very sorry,” the actress said.
However, she said that she has changed now and hoped that people would perceive her as someone who is kind. After reading another assumption from a netizen saying she’s “humble,” she said that she really did hope that people would see her that way.
“I hope I come off humble sa ibang tao. Tulad nang sinabi ko kanina, masungit talaga ako noon, mataray talaga ako noon. Sana sa aura ko ngayon, sana how I treat my co-workers and other people outside of my circle sana nga I come off as a humble person,” she stated.
“I guess my experiences in life and ‘yung mga lessons na natutunan ko ay naturuan na rin ako na maging humble. Kasi ganoon talaga ang life. May mga bagay talaga na pagdadaanan mo para lang din bumalik ka kung saan ka nanggaling,” she added.
She also talked about how all people have something they are going through with their life and might become lost sometimes. However, she said that people just need to find the right person for them to focus on the things that matter.
“Minsan medyo napapalayo ang ating tingin kasi may personal tayong pinagdadaanan at nalalayo na tayo sa dapat talagang maging focus ng energy natin,” Jessy said.
She thanked Luis Manzano, her current boyfriend, who taught her to be kinder to other people. She said that Luis is a good example for everyone.
“Yung nagturo sa akin na maging kinder towards other people ay si Luis. Mas lalo na ‘yung pagiging generous. Si Luis, good example siya na hindi lang sarili niya ang pinagtatrabahuan niya, para rin sa ibang tao. He rarely, rarely shows ‘yung pagtulong niya,” she concluded.
Jessy Mendiola recently transferred to the TV5 network and already has a new show with the network. She hosted the lifestyle and fitness show called Fit for Life.
The fitness program premiered on August 16 and ran every Sunday morning in the Kapatid network. The show aired its final episode on November 1, 2020.
