What the F,” she exclaimed in her livestream.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DK8isNWIlYV/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A948155.4000000004%2C%22ls%22%3A102592.20000000019%2C%22le%22%3A103255.20000000019%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="901" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" 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><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCn4ZeUxy_i/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A969597.2000000002%2C%22ls%22%3A102592.20000000019%2C%22le%22%3A103255.20000000019%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="618" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" 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>Lorin, who is set to turn 22 next month, said she just wanted to do minor changes to enhance her nose. “The thing with the Philippines, my nose is like the Filipino nose. So, I feel like (local surgeons in the Philippines) wouldn’t know how to do it. This is another thing, I’m not saying my nose is awful. There are just like slight tweaks. They’re just small. I’m not asking them to break my nose and remove the bone. I want the most subtle differences, and I told them that when I was getting the quote. So for the most subtle difference, you’re gonna charge me with $70,000?” she recalled. </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DD1e8v-Rs0j/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A991949.7999999998%2C%22ls%22%3A102592.20000000019%2C%22le%22%3A103255.20000000019%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="852" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" 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><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2019/7/9/fresh-scoops/lorin-gutierrez-heads-to-us-to-study-economics-37736"><strong>READ: Lorin Gutierrez heads to U.S. to study economics</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>From this experience, Lorin admitted that she has now started considering getting into the cosmetic surgery industry in the future after getting her degree. “I think I want to be a plastic surgeon. Because I think, plastic surgeons make bank. It would be fun. If you’re a plastic surgeon, the worst thing that could happen is just you make someone pangit,” she explained.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-12" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CTBC1AylGs6/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A12%2C%22os%22%3A1037789.7000000002%2C%22ls%22%3A102592.20000000019%2C%22le%22%3A103255.20000000019%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="855" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-12" 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><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/6/12/ruffa-gutierrez-s-daughters-spend-summer-holiday-with-their-dad-yilmaz-bektas-in-turkey-0943"><strong>READ: Ruffa Gutierrez&#x27;s daughters spend summer holiday with their dad Yilmaz Bektas in Turkey</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>It was in 2021 when Ruffa shared an emotional but happy moment when she accompanied her daughter Lorin along with her sister Venice to the Pepperdine University campus as she started her freshman year.
