We saw a new and unfiltered side of Liza Soberano.
Someone vulnerable, able to experience genuine happiness, and a stronger version of herself.
In this interview, you’ll see the difference between someone who was abused and never received proper care, someone who has been loved and has been in love, and someone who overcame everything by leaving and choosing herself in order to grow.
You’ll cry along with her as she shares the story of her childhood trauma. You’ll see her smile when she talks about her past with Quen. And you’ll feel proud of how brave she was.
CHAPTER 1:
Both her parents went to jail when she was just two years old. She and her younger brother were placed in foster care, where they were abused by their foster parent.
"And then after that, like, she started really abusing me. Not just psychologically."
"I would actually believe that she loved me when she said she loved me. Because when you're a kid, that's what you do. You believe anything that an adult says because you think that they have their best interest for you."
"I think that one thing that I realized is I developed this habit of making myself so small out of fear of being a burden to people. Because I was afraid that if I did something that they didn't like or something that upset people, that they wouldn't want me anymore, or that I'd become unworthy of their love. And so I tolerated and accepted a lot of disrespect and abuse out of fear of losing people that weren't afraid of losing me."
CHAPTER 2:
"Through my love team, I gained a lifelong bestfriend. My first love."
"I never had to pretend that I was in love with him, except for moments when we would fight, propably, and we would be on set. And then once we leave our green room, I'd have to pretend that we were okay. But even if you're fighting and angry, love is still there."
"Quen and I broke up. But yeah, we've been broken up for almost three years now."
"I think a year before I actually broke up with him, there were already signs that were showing me that I was unhappy."
"Almost eight years together and I was genuinely expecting us to get married like soon. But then that didn't happen. And so when I broke up with him, I would say it was such a beautiful breakup because it was still so, so full of love."
"It was so hard for me to actually break up with him because I love him. I still love him as a person. When I look back at like our time together, I just see good moments all the time."
"He didn't do anything bad. Nothing bad happened our breakup was really good. It was just we weren't a match anymore."
CHAPTER 3:
"I just hope that everyone will be a little kinder to themselves, and not tolerate bulls**t. Don't let people hurt you. Don't stay because you're afraid of rocking the boat. Love yourself first and life will get so much better."
