Katrina Halili says daughter Katie motivates her to work harder

Katrina Halili’s daughter, Katie, inspires the actress to work harder.

In a media interview with her fellow “Black Rider” stars on Thursday, Katrina said she has become more motivated to work because of Katie.

“Mas dedicated po ako sa trabaho ko. Mas inspired ako magtrabaho dahil nga dun sa baby ko. Dati kasi parang, ‘Ah. uuwi na lang ako ng Palawan,’ puro ganun na lang po ‘yung sinasabi ko, ‘Ayoko, tinatamad na ako, gusto ko nang umuwi,’” Katrina said.

[I'm more dedicated to my work now. I am more inspired to work because of my daughter. I used to take work for granted. I was always looking at my Plan B, which was to go home to Palawan.]  

“Pero nung nagkaroon po ako ng anak, mas na-inspire ako, and thankful po ako na palagi pong nagtitiwala sa’kin ang GMA, 20 years na po.”

[But when I became a mother, I became more inspired. I'm thankful for GMA's trust. It's been 20 years.]

She also expressed her gratitude to GMA Network, saying she is very happy with the network. 

"Sobrang happy po ako na hindi nila ako pinapabayaan,” she added.

Katrina became a mom in 2012, after giving birth to Katie, her daughter with ex-boyfriend Kris Lawrence.

They have a co-parenting setup, currently.

Katrina stars in “Black Rider” with Ruru Madrid, Matteo Guidicelli, Kylie Padilla, Yassi Pressman, and many others.

“Black Rider” airs weekdays on GMA Telebabad at 8 p.m.
