Bb. Pilipinas first runner-up Herlene Budol on September 7, denied that she became a different person after finding success as a comedienne and a beauty queen.
To explain, a blind item mentioned that a comedienne was criticized by a production staff for acting like a “big star” as she now chooses to not appear on programs that are rated Strictly Parental Guidance (SPG).
Budol, during her press conference at the Luxent Hotel in Timog Avenue, Quezon City speculated that the article was targeting her.
“Na-blind item kasi ako isang keme. Eh sure daw si Sir Wilbert (Tolentino) na ako iyon. Kaya sure din ako na ako iyon.”
In her defense, she was not trying to act like a diva as the article said.
“Kumbaga parang madami daw na tao na nakapansin na nagbago daw ako, choosy na daw ako. Hindi naman sa choosy. Siyempre may mga taong nag-aalaga na rin sa akin. Hindi na sa akin nanggagaling na lang ‘yung mga desisyon.
“Eh siyempre dati parang pariwara lang ako, ‘Sige okay lang ako pare,’ parang ganoon lang ako. Ngayon, mayroon nang nagko-kontrol sa kung anong dapat at hindi dapat na gawin sa buhay ko,” she explained to the press and LionhearTV.
She added, “Walang makakapagpabago ng ugali ng tao. Hindi pera [kundi] nasa mindset iyan tsaka sa mga taong nakapaligid.”
In the meantime, Budol now endorses Premium Cocoberry Body Wash and Premium Cocoberry Instaglow Lotion of the cosmetics brand Rejuviant.
