Social media sensation Amor Carias, better known as “Ms. Catering,” recently revealed that TV host and actress Karla Estrada had once promised to hire her as a personal assistant (P.A.), a plan that never materialized.
In a candid interview with Ogie Diaz on his vlog, Ms. Catering shared details about the promise Estrada made during her guest appearance on the ABS-CBN morning show “Magandang Buhay.”
“Dati Ms. Catering, nag-guest ka sa ‘Magandang Buhay’ tapos parang nangako si Karla Estrada sa’yo na gagawin ka niyang P.A., anong nangyari doon?” asked Diaz.
Ms. Catering explained that the promise was made just days before ABS-CBN ceased its broadcast operations in 2020. “No’ng time kasi na ‘yun na ininterview ako, mga 3 days nagsara na ‘yung ABS-CBN, nag-stop. Na-hack din ‘yung account ko kaya parang wala na hinayaan ko na lang,” she recounted.
While Estrada had indeed promised her the role of P.A., the offer never came to fruition. Ms. Catering noted that she had encountered Estrada since then but didn’t hold any ill feelings about the situation. “Nagkita nga kami dito sa lugar namin, hindi ko alam kung naalala niya ako. Pero hindi naman ako [nagtampo]… okay lang, hindi naman ako nagkaroon ng galit,” she said.
In a humorous turn, Ms. Catering quipped, “Kung gusto niya, siya na lang kunin kong P.A… Joke lang,” to which Diaz responded with a laugh, “Gaga ka.”
The conversation stemmed from a 2020 interview, where Estrada extended the offer during a live broadcast of ‘Magandang Buhay.’ Estrada had suggested that Ms. Catering join her as a personal assistant once the COVID-19 lockdown ended, saying, “Punta ka na rito sa akin gagawin kitang ano kasa-kasama. P.A.. Gusto mo bang mag-personal assistant?” Ms. Catering had enthusiastically agreed, but the plans were disrupted by the pandemic and the subsequent closure of ABS-CBN.
Ms. Catering has since gained popularity on social media, amassing over 863.5K followers on TikTok, 328K followers on Facebook, and 25.7K subscribers on YouTube. She has also secured several endorsement deals.
As of now, Karla Estrada has not commented on the matter.
