But then when I would ask her for advice with like how do I prepare for a scene like this, some scenes can seem really intimidating when you read them, di ba? She&#x27;s always like, &#x27;Look into the core of your character. If you know your character then you&#x27;ll know what to do.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>In the same interview, Janice highlighted that as much as possible, she gives her daughter the liberty to navigate the world of acting herself.</p><div><iframe width="1255" height="706" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/noIewUuY4rM" title="Bida/Bida | Episode 1: I Made It, Mom! | Netflix Philippines" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>&quot;When I was younger, my parents were not actors so who would I ask? So I had to navigate myself. I&#x27;ve done things really badly, but you know you push on and then you do the best that you can. And that was my intention. I wanted her to grow, to navigate her way, and the thing I cannot teach is how to feel,&quot; Janice pointed out. </p><p>Kaila remarked that because her mom has always been given her the opportunity to stand on her own when it comes to her craft, she became self-sufficient as an actress.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C62yfMJRj-E/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A158342.70000004768%2C%22ls%22%3A12469.900000095367%2C%22le%22%3A12491.600000143051%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="666" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;When she gives advice, it&#x27;s a bit on the tough side. She doesn&#x27;t coddle us. I would say na self-sufficient ako because she&#x27;s like that. There was this one scene that&#x27;s super memorable sa akin na I felt that I messed it up so I felt like I did really bad. The scene was taking forever. I was really crying then I called her up, &#x27;I&#x27;m so sorry this is so embarrassing.&#x27; I felt like if failed,&quot; she recalled.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/2/19/kaila-estrada-signs-with-abs-cbn-i-will-always-be-a-kapamilya-1523"><strong>READ: Kaila Estrada signs with ABS-CBN: ‘I will always be a Kapamilya’</strong></a></div><p>Janice then advised Kaila: &quot;[I told her] you&#x27;ll have good days. You&#x27;ll have bad days. That&#x27;s life, wala tayong magagawa. You know tomorrow is a new day.&#x27;&quot;</p><p>Kaila then said: &quot;And that&#x27;s actually her answer for everything and then you think about it, what&#x27;s the point of dwelling on something that already happened, di ba? You just have to move on.&quot;</p>
