Hindi rin nila actually alam, yata. Hindi sinabi ni mama. Hindi nila alam na magkakaroon ako ng wax figure. So kapag makita ng Papa ko baka magulat siya, &#x27;Sino ang anak niya?&#x27; So sana maging proud siya kasi they will see me there as the figure.&quot;</p><p>For Bernardo, having a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong feels like a full circle moment, saying it inspires her to keep dreaming big and doing more.</p><p>&quot;I was six, now I&#x27;m 29, and then nangyari ito. &#x27;Yung proseso na pinagdaanan mo to deserve that wax figure, very humbling siya,&quot; she said. &quot;Tapos full circle moment din siya for me because I used to line up there, buy a ticket. When I was a kid, I just want to go there and meet my idol and I want to experience Madame Tussauds. But now I&#x27;m going to be part of it.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Isn&#x27;t that so surreal? So nakakatuwa. Hopefully it&#x27;s something na maipagmamalaki rin kunwari ng pamangkin ko kapag nakita nila, &#x27;It&#x27;s my Tita Kat there.&#x27; It&#x27;s something na kapag makita ng younger generation, makita nila na it&#x27;s possible to dream big... I&#x27;m overflowing with so much joy and gratitude,&quot; she shared. </p><p>Bernardo also invited her fans and fellow Filipinos to see her wax figure next year.</p><p>&quot;Hopefully you get to see my wax figure there, take your photo, and something na maipagmamalaki nating mga Filipino. Thank you for making this possible and I&#x27;m excited for you guys to see and experience it,&quot; she said. </p><p>Bernardo now joins list of Filipino personalities who already have a wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong: beauty queens Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray, actress Anne Curtis, Tony Award winner Lea Salonga, and boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.</p><p>She started out as a child star and was part of &quot;Goin&#x27; Bulilit.&quot;  In 2010, her career skyrocketed after starring in the remake of the hit series &quot;Mara Clara.&quot;</p><p>Among Bernardo&#x27;s hit movies is &quot;Hello, Love, Goodbye,&quot; which was shot in Hong Kong.
