Former ‘PBB Gen 11’ grand winner Fyang Smith recently got candid about her views on self-worth and public criticism during her guest appearance on DJ Jhai Ho’s FM radio show.
Joined by her ‘Ghosting’ co-stars Kobie Brown and JM Ibarra, Fyang responded firmly when asked if she seeks validation from others.
Her answer: “No.”
“Hindi naman lahat ng tao maiintindihan ang reason ko. I mean, hindi lahat ng tao magugustuhan ang ginagawa ko. Even though pagod ako, ginagawa ko ang best ko,” she explained.
“Never nilang ma-appreciate or maintindihan kasi ang makikita nila lagi ay ang mali. So I don’t need any validation from other people because I love myself and I have my own family. Marami naman ang nagmamahal sa akin.”
Fyang also addressed criticisms that continue to bring up her past mistakes, saying people often fail to see the changes she has made.
“Hindi naman ako perfect na tao, willing to learn naman ako. Kaya doon sa mga nadismayang netizens, I’m sorry. Willing to learn naman po ako kung may mga hindi kayo nagugustuhan sa mga ginagawa ko. Sorry po,” she said.
“Ang pangit kasi lumaban kapag ang ginamit ay ‘yung past mo. Hindi mo ma-explain sa kanila na nagbago ka na kasi nga ‘yun yung tumatak sa kanila,” she added.
Sitting beside her during the interview was JM Ibarra, whom she credited as one of her strongest sources of guidance.
“Lagi niya akong sinasabihan kapag alam niyang ang ginagawa ko ay hindi tama na sa palagay ko kasi ay tama,” Fyang shared. “Katulad ‘yung mga nagawa ko before na akala ko tama. Ngayon ay nagiging okey, okey na ako kasi naisip ko ‘hala mali pala ‘yung nagawa ko.’”
Fyang’s honest reflections drew praise from netizens, many of whom said they relate deeply to her journey. Comments poured in on social media, lauding her maturity and humility.
Fans are now gearing up for the purple carpet premiere of ‘Ghosting’, the upcoming iWant series starring JM Ibarra and Fyang Smith. Scheduled to take place tomorrow at Gateway Mall II in Araneta City, the event promises to be packed with supporters and Kapamilya stars.
With JM and Fyang expected to walk the carpet together, fans are also hoping for more clarity on their real-life closeness—fueled by undeniable chemistry and growing rumors of romance. Though they have yet to confirm anything, one thing’s for sure: “Hindi raw nila kaya na i-ghosting ang isa’t isa,” teased one insider.
