Humans are not perfect. They not-too-pleasant decisions at some point in their lives, and celebrities are no exception. As part of their work, they may have made some decisions that later on haunted them.
Heart Evangelista regretted being a calendar girl.
Evangelista had regrettable decisions in her life. Being a calendar girl? That is what Heart regretted the most. In a series of Instagram stories, she recalled how she became Tanduay’s 2014 calendar girl—which seven years later she lamented.
It was all because of how she needed the money, hence she accepted the offer of the liquor company.
“My mom confiscated my money, so I needed to do this. Hahaha. Hirap kumita,” said the actress.
She then said that although she was glad the project gave her the money, she will never do it again.
“Looking back? Glad I did it. Won’t do it again though,” wrote Evangelista.
Sharon Cuneta’s transfer to TV5.
The MegaStar, with all the fame and fortune, has also made challenging decisions in her life.
After leaving ABS-CBN to be with TV5, Cuneta found herself back in the arms of the Kapamilya network.
During an interview with Boy Abunda in 2015, she admitted that she regretted leaving the Network.
“I regretted [it] because now naturally I felt like a fish out of water,” admitted Cuneta.
The Megastar also shared that she should have reconciled with the person she had a misunderstanding with rather than leaving ABS-CBN.
“I had a good career going and like most people, we sometimes make decisions that we think are good at a certain time, and sometimes they are based on simple nonsensical things like a tampo.
“And I know I should have just talked to whoever [I had] a tampo with here [in ABS-CBN],” Cuneta said.
And now that she is back at her home network, she felt that she can finally breathe again.
“This is love. This is home. This is family. And like I said, I can breathe again,” she concluded.
Geneva Cruz regrets undergoing plastic surgery.
Plastic surgery may or may not break a person. In the case of singer and actress Geneva Cruz, her decision to allow her nose to be altered was regrettable as a decision.
After undergoing plastic surgery, Cruz did not feel like the same person again. What’s worse is that she became the target of trolls because of her nose.
In November 2020, Cruz shared to the public how she delved into her decision. She only felt regret, that her 16-year-old mind was encouraged to change something in herself.
“I was only 16 when I was asked to have my nose altered a bit. And I thought something was wrong with me. And I carried that for many years kahit iba na ilong ko,” wrote Cruz on her Facebook account.
Magaganda ang mga pango! Tandaan ninyo ‘yan!

But over the years, she learned to accept the fact that she was enhanced.
“Anyway, I’ve come to love the nose I’ve had for 28 years— same bridge, just narrower, kasi deep inside, pareho pa rin naman ako sa pang-loob eh,” she added.
Nadine Lustre regretted being a coward.
Actress Nadine Lustre had a hard time in the past couple of years.
From breaking up with her boyfriend James Reid to being sued by her former agency, VIVA Artists Agency. But all those horrible events in Lustre’s life and career did not matter more than what she felt inside.
Recently, Lustre shared that there was one thing that she regretted after leaving her former talent agency—being portrayed as a saint.
The young actress recalled how showbusiness molded her into something she was not.
“Ever since nag-showbiz ako, it’s one thing that I’ve been so afraid of. In showbusiness, people tend to tell you what it is that you should be doing, how you should look, what you should say,” said Lustre.
“Everything is given to you, and it’s kind of them molding you to become someone you’re not. So, that pretty much happened to me. And so now that, you know, I’ve broken out into that mold.”
Now that she is living as an independent artist, Lustre was finally relieved that she can break from that mold and be with herself, no holds barred.
“Now that I am braver, you know, I kind of am braver of showing everyone who I really am, nagtuluy-tuloy na lang siya.
Yam Concepcion allowing herself to do naked scenes.
Last 2019, the actress wanted to go back in time to undo a decision she made in her career. During the film, Rigodon, Concepcion has accepted to do nude scenes.
However, her decision haunted her as photos of her nude body captured in the movie proliferated online.
She shared during an interview with Boy Abunda that those who spread her photos online really bothered her. Although she was grateful that the movie became her ticket to fame, had she known that people would broadcast her naked body on the Internet, the actress would have never accepted the offer in the first place.
“Everything happens for a reason, I guess that’s part of my journey,” she said. “I’ll be honest with you, kung alam ko lang tito Boy, hindi ko na ginawa.”
Sheryn Regis leaving the Philippines at the height of her career.
Sheryn Regis is storming the Philippines with her powerful and amazing voice. But during the height of her career, she made an unexpected decision—leaving the Philippines for America.
Regis recalled the time when she made it big in the Philippines.
However, with all the hype she experienced, she felt that she had enough. So while she is famous, she flew to the United States of America and changed careers.
But her decision only led to regrets.
She got a stint as a teacher in the USA. And that’s where she realized the huge difference in performing for Americans rather than for the Filipinos.
“Akala ko okay ‘dun, nagco-concert ako ‘dun, I teach, nagte-teach ako. Pero iba pa rin ‘yung mag-perform para sa aking mga kababayan dito sa Pilipinas, at mag-record ng mga singles ko,” she said.
There was only regret. The Crystal Voice of Asia opted to sing for her homeland. She only felt that she wasted her opportunity to offer her talents to the Philippines.
“Yes, Sobra. Kasi parang feeling ko kasi, when I left the Philippines akala ko, Okay na. Simpleng buhay, or ‘di ako mapapagod. Pero nakakapagod pala kapag hindi ako kumakanta dito sa Pilipinas,” she admitted.
Decisions make an impact on a person’s life. And these regrets are normal. It serves as a lesson to think twice before deciding anything anymore when faced with certain challenges.
Now that these celebrities realized their regrets, it only made them stronger and better.
