Explaining why strict diets do not work for her, she went on: "When I diet so much, so strictly, it affects my attitude and my patience and everything. So what I've been doing now that's been working for me is just a balanced diet, just more workout, because I like to eat. So bumabawi na lang ako sa workout and just being active."

"It's so important for you to compartmentalize things that matter to you and the things that don't. So when it's the criticism from people I don't know and don't know me, and don't play a significant role in my life, it's easier to shrug off and not worry about," she said.

"The criticism that only matters to me is, of course, the people that are really within my circle and my family and the people who can be honest with me. And constructive criticism, hindi 'yung criticism na just hurtful," she added.
