For sure, ardent followers of Kapamilya actress Francine Diaz terribly missed seeing her vlogger facet as she suddenly stopped uploading new vlogs on her eponymous YouTube channel around six months ago. And just recently, she made her much-awaited comeback by publishing a video wherein she enthusiastically responded to the controversial questions about her that were prepared by her team. <div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="480" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3H_5oHYJ-4A" title="ANSWERING HARD QUESTIONS | Francine Diaz" width="1226"></iframe></div>The first question she addressed was about the real reason why she went on a vlogging hiatus. According to her, she became very busy in the previous months, which made it very challenging for her to balance everything that she had to do in life, especially now that she’s a first-year college student. “Ang hirap na lahat pagsabayin mo. Parang kailangan may piliin ka munang isa at kailangan meron ka munang itaguyod na isa bago mo gawin ‘yong ibang bagay sa buhay mo,” she said. “So now, ready na ako ulit. I believe, ‘yong mga months na ‘yon na wala ako sa YouTube, na hindi n’yo ako nakikita, I can confirm para sa sarili ko na it was a preparation sa lahat ng gagawin ko, especially next month hanggang next year.” Francine then couldn’t help but scream when quizzed about losing and gaining friends this 2024, to which she exclaimed, “Yes!” She may have gone through “breakups” in different aspects of her life, yet she’s grateful to have obtained new wonderful connections. “May mga nawala akong mga tao sa buhay, pero thankful ako sa mga pinagsamahan namin, sa kung anong mga nangyari sa amin kasi sa mga tao na ‘yon, ‘yong relationship ko sa kanila, eye-opening siya for me. Ang daming realizations, ang daming lessons,” she related. Then she continued, “So, I wouldn’t say na talo ako sa parte na ‘yon. Masakit, siyempre, kasi may mga binuo kang memories sa mga tao na ‘yon. Pero gano’n talaga ang buhay, darating ‘yong panahon na you really have to say goodbye.” Despite losing some of her friendships, the young actress claimed that she is happy right now since she got to know herself more and she has become more careful and observant when it comes to dealing with other people. In fact, she felt like developing the brand-new skill of reading the aura of people she gets to meet for the first time, which allows her to prevent herself from getting hurt. As we all know, she’s currently in a loveteam with Seth Fedelin, whom she got to work with for the first time in the highly successful soap opera “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/kadenangginto" target="_blank">Kadenang Ginto</a>” in 2018. Since that’s the case, she divulged that they used to be not close with one another before, for there was an invisible wall and a sense of awkwardness between them. “Dati masasabi ko na mas magkaibigan when it comes to work. Mas nag-a-agree kami sa isang bagay if it’s about work. But now, I would say siguro na sa tinagal o hinaba ng panahon na magkasama kami, masasabi ko na ‘yong friendship na meron kami ngayon, on a different level na siya,” she shared. The she added, “Mas nakilala namin ‘yong isa’t isa. Ngayon, mas may halaga na sa amin ‘yong friendship namin at hindi lang about sa work na ‘yong mga napag-uusapan namin. I think, siguro kasi ‘pag lumalaki ka na, nag-iiba na rin ‘yong mga topics n’yo as friends. She even regarded Seth as “my best friend,” when asked to describe his role in her life at present. The kilig further escalated as she tagged him as her “favorite,” just like how mango is to her when asked which fruit reminds her of Seth. Even though she went through obstacles this year, which she initially regretted, Francine said that she would not change a thing. It&#x27;s because she eventually realized that those needed to happen in order for her to learn something and be able to face everyone again. However, if there’s one thing that she wishes to do for herself, it would be for her to be extra gentle and careful with herself. “May pagka-harsh ako sa sarili ko eh. Isa ‘yon sa mga naging struggles ko rin this year kasi mahirap kapag kalaban mo sarili mo. You have your family, you have your friends na tumutulong sa’yo, ready kang damayan sa kung ano mang pinagdadaanan mo, pero mas magma-matter talaga ‘yong nanggagaling sa loob mo,” she said, revealing that what she used to tell herself were harsher than what she was hurled at her by bashers. As someone who’s in an onscreen partnership, Francine’s opinion regarding the significance of having a loveteam to someone’s career was also asked. According to her, she believes that it’s not really necessary, yet it could be a big help for someone like her who’s just starting in the industry. After all, it still depends on the artist if he/she would like to be in one or not. “Ako na nasa loveteam ngayon, masaya ako sa ginagawa ko, masaya ako with Seth at sa team na meron kami,” she declared. “Ako talaga naniniwala ako na no’ng nag-start ako, hindi ko naman makita ‘yong sarili ko na kaya ko nang mag-isa eh. I’m happy sa mga na-partner sa akin noon before, especially with Seth now, because I can say na tinulungan din nila ako to get here kung nasaan man ako ngayon. Malaki ang parte nila doon, di ba?” Francine also commented on rivalries in showbiz, which are inevitably present whether celebrities admit it or not. For her, two parties must never put out in public whatever problem or misunderstanding they have once they’re able to settle them in private since she doesn’t see the point in doing so. The competition may be unavoidable, but it should be friendly, according to her, since all of them are deserving of the success that they worked hard for. Instead of feeling envious or jealous, they must be happy for one another and simply regard the other’s achievements as inspiration to do your best in order to attain or get there as well. “Nakaka-sad lang, siyempre, na may mga tao kang tinuring mong kaibigan or kapamilya pero at the end of the day, kailangan mong mag-part ng ways. And sana ‘yong breakup n’yo na ‘yon, whether romantically or friendship, basta na-settle n’yo na kayo lang dalawa, for me that’s okay,” she conveyed. In connection to that, she was quizzed if she had a colleague who she doesn’t like to work with anymore, which she confirmed. However, it’s not in the way that she does not like to collaborate with them ever again; rather, she’s afraid that they will not be able to carry out their duties well and that other people will be embroiled in their rift. Without dropping any name or giving any hint, she explained, “Hindi naman ako magna-namedrop or whatsoever, but may mga nakatrabaho ako before na hindi na ako komportableng makatrabaho sila ulit ngayon. Hindi sa ayaw ko lang silang makasama, but I have my reasons. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na I am disrespecting them.” Francine then admitted getting intimated with some of the actors she used to work with, especially the veterans and seasoned ones, such as Mylene Dizon, Sylvia Sanchez, Nonie Buencamino, Eula Valdes, Beauty Gonzalez, and Dimples Romana. She went on to add that the intimidation she felt towards them served as her motivation to unleash nothing but her best. With regard to the best advice she has ever gotten in showbiz, she said that aside from being respectful to everyone, it would be “be yourself.” She believes that apart from standing out from the rest, being true to yourself and not pretending to be anyone else will also make the people around you appreciate you even more. Besides, it’s important for you to also become the greatest ally that you will ever have and to know yourself on a deeper level. She also won’t quit showbiz even if she wins the jackpot prize in the lottery, since aside from the fact that money would easily run out, she loves her job so much, too. “I love my life here in showbiz. Hindi man perpekto pero may kakaibang happiness na binibigay sa akin na nandito ako sa showbiz. Nangyari na ba ‘yon sa inyo like may moment na mare-realize n’yo o mafe-feel n’yo na talagang I was made for this, I was made to do this, and I’m gonna keep on doing this? And ‘yon ako sa showbiz,” she expounded. Now that she’s already 20 years old, the promising actress admitted that she indeed has already experienced falling in love, as well as that she&#x27;s ready to have a boyfriend this year. The vlog capped off with Francine expressing her gratitude to bashers and encouraging them in jest to just go on and keep the hate comments coming. Welcome back to the vlogging world, Francine!
