Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin continues to be an outspoken celebrity over various national issues.
She confessed she is vocal over numerous concerns because she is afraid of the consequences if she would ignore the cries for help from her fellow countrymen.
On Matteo Guidicelli’s podcast, MattRuns, Locsin shared her ideology on why she needs to speak and stand up for others.
She admitted it was her father that inspired her to be true to herself and fight for injustices.
“Ako kasi pinalaki ako ng tatay ko na maging totoo ako sa sarili ko at huwag na huwag kang papayag na mayroong injustice na nangyayari sa paligid mo. Maraming bagay na mas importante bukod sa sarili mo,” she said.
The actress shared she is not afraid to voice out her opinions, especially if it concerns the welfare of the country.
“Takot ako kaya ako nagsasalita. Kasi kung hindi ka takot, dedma ka lang. Kaya mo i-ignore everything. Kunyari nagsasalita ako about certain issues, kaya ka nagsasalita doon kasi may takot ka, may ayaw kang mangyari, kaya ka nagsasalita. Kasi kung hindi ka naman takot, bakit ka magsasalita?” the actress reasoned.
She speaks because she has a point to prove that fear drives people to stand for what is right and just.
“It doesn’t mean na matapang ka kung nagsasalita ka. It means may kinakatakutan ka kaya gusto mong ipaglaban. Natatakot kang maapi, natatakot kang ibahin ‘yung story mo ng ibang tao,” Locsin added.
