<p>MANILA -- Kapamilya actress Shaina Magdayao admitted that she went through a period in which she questioned her purpose as an artist.</p><p>In Star Magic&#x27;s Celebrity Conversations, Magdayao said that it took some time for her to realize that she can fulfill her calling through her work in showbiz.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/44XUUjgBJL0?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><p>&quot;&#x27;When I started questioning my purpose, that&#x27;s when I started asking bakit ba ako nandito sa industry na ito? Ano ba ang ginagawa ko rito? Because like I said, isinubo ito lahat sa akin. I did not have to audition, I did not have to line up, bilang nga lang &#x27;yung times na nag-workshop ako,&quot; admitted Magdayao, who has been in the entertainment industry for almost 30 years.</p><p>&quot;I started looking for answers. And when I started accepting the fact na hindi na talaga matatalikuran itong trabaho ko and itong mundo na ito, it&#x27;s when I realized okay I was put here in this position not for myself but to able to share my God-given talent. And, for me that&#x27;s the most rewarding thing because I have this calling of service,&quot; she said.</p><p>Magdayao, who is the younger sister of the actress-singer Vina Morales, joined show business as a child star.</p><p>Dubbed as the country&#x27;s &quot;Empress of Drama,&quot; Magdayao proved that she can stay and shine in the industry with or without a leading man.</p><p>&quot;Nahirapan akong hanapin itong purpose ko kasi this is so self-serving, this is all about you, how you look. Service is about being selfless, right? So nahirapan ako to find the answer or to just really be wholeheartedly here. But when Tita Cory (Vidanes) told me after five years of looking for that purpose and akala ko ay magma-madre na lang ako, tatalikuran ko na lang ito, magse-serve na lang ako sa charity, she told me and this will stay in my heart, she said &#x27;Shine, you can serve naman through your job.&#x27; I found meaning in every interaction I have with each and every person and Kapamilya that I get to work with -- that&#x27;s already serving. And whenever I get offers or like projects and when they tell me na &#x27;I think you are the right person for this.&#x27; As long as you believe that I am right person for this role and naniniwala kayo that I have what it takes to portray the role properly then okay I&#x27;m going to be 100% present and that&#x27;s how I serve now,&quot; Magdayao continued.</p><p>&quot;And maybe that&#x27;s why I don&#x27;t get tired not anymore because again I&#x27;m coming from a place, again if you come from a place of gratitude hindi ka mauubusan ng blessings na mare-recognize. At the end of the day there&#x27;s really so much to be thankful for.&quot; </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/07/22/shaina-magdayao-returns-to-asap-after-8-years">&#x27;Officially back&#x27;: Shaina Magdayao returns to &#x27;ASAP&#x27; after 8 years</a></li></ul><div><strong>Related video:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1728630" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
