“Kung kaya ko po, kaya din ng ibang tao. Kung ano man maging itsura nyo – maputi ka man, maitim, kulot o unat, walang problema. Siguro ito ang isa sa misyon ko, ang maging role model, na wag matakot at harapin ang mga kinatatakutan nila sa buhay,” she added.
For now, Herlene will concentrate on her showbiz commitments.
“Masaya naman ang family ko pero gusto kasi namin wala na kami iisipin na pagkukunan. Hindi pa kami stable talaga, kumbaga kailangan pa rin namin talaga magtrabaho. So, yung maraming trabaho na lang sana ang wish ko,” she closed.
