Do public figures have the right to complain? Jillian Ward answers

Does Jillian Ward think public figures like her have the right to complain?

The Star of the New Gen was asked the question on Friday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.” In response, she said, “Well, to an extent, siyempre po.”

“Kasi tao lang din naman po tayo. Lalo po ‘yung ibang mga artista talaga, sobrang pino-protect po nila ‘yung privacy nila, pero minsan wala po silang magawa,” she explained.

According to Jillian, people like her are the “apple of the eye,” and people tend to notice everything that they do.

However, she added that they deserve to have privacy, which they must still work on as part of their responsibilities.

She also recalled getting questioned for playing a young doctor role in “Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap.”

“‘Yung mga comments po na ‘yon naiyak po talaga ako nung una, honestly. Pero pinag-pray ko po siya. Tapos sabi ko mas pagtatiyagaan ko pa po ‘yung ginagawa ko kasi binigay na po sa ‘kin ‘yung role eh. I’ll just do my best,” she shared.

The Sparkle star  viewed the negative comments as constructive criticism and learned from them as she went.

Jillian is the lead star of “Abot-Kamay na Pangarap,” which is set to air its final episode on October 19, 2:30 p.m., on GMA Afternoon Prime.

The Kapuso series has been airing for two years already. It also stars Carmina Villarroel, Richard Yap, Kazel Kinouchi, Pinky Amador, and more.
