She is aware that she will not be in the limelight permanently but she is still thankful for her career.
The actress shared, “Hindi [ako takot malaos]. Kasi from the start, bata pa ako, alam ko na iyan…sabi nga nila, lahat ng bagay may katapusan… Kaya dapat laging handa. Dapat girl scout ka, laging handa.”
Soriano reiterated, “Hindi pwedeng hindi ka maging handa dahil parang buhay din ito na [marami] ang maaaring mangyari. Maaaring mangyari na sumikat ka – maraming, maraming salamat. Paano kung hindi? Maraming, maraming salamat pa rin dapat.”
Soriano also explained that everybody has their own term where they will shine in the industry.
“Kung sumikat ka, tapos na ‘yung time mo, bigay mo naman sa iba. Ganun talaga ‘yun eh. Natapos na ‘yung term mo, share it naman to others,” she said.
