<p>Content creator Jenela in Japan, whose real name is Jenela Tuguinay-Cachero, shared her thoughts on some of the rude comments made by netizens on social media. In a recent interview with veteran broadcaster Karen Davila, the influencer expressed how she is still the same person despite the success she has earned. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="815" height="458" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ptSJnEy3wPU" title="JENELA IN JAPAN: From OFW Caregiver To Millionaire Influencer! | KD Ep249" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Jenela became a social media personality after she shared a glimpse of her life as an OFW in Japan. After gaining millions of followers across various social media platforms, she decided to go full-time as a content creator and returned to the Philippines. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/7/25/jenela-in-japan-flaunts-her-stretch-marks-proud-to-be-a-mom-1334" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Jenela in Japan flaunts her stretch marks: ‘Proud to be a mom’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“How do you feel isipin mo, nag-sipag ka, nag-vlog ka, di ka naman nag nanakaw–– ang linis ng pinagkikitaan mo. Tapos kung mabash ka, ganun na ganun na lang yung tao,” Karen asked.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Ang wholesome ko naman, mabait naman ako sa vlogs. Bakit niyo ako binabash? Actually, ang bashing nare-receive ko until now is ibang-iba na raw ako sa dati compared to now… Dati kasi OFW ako sa Japan, simple daw po ako,” Jenela replied.</p><div><br/></div><p>She added how she had to reassess herself to check if the comments made by the netizens about her sudden change had some truth to it.</p><div><br/></div><p>“In-assess ko talaga, totoo ba? In-assess ko talaga yung sarili ko parang sa akin wala naman nagbago, umunlad lang po talaga ako –– umunlad lang po kami,” she expressed.</p><div><br/></div><p>“Sabi nila, mas gusto ko yung dating Jenela, mas gusto ko yung simpleng Jenela na nag bi-bike lang sa Japan, bumalik ka na nga lang sa Japan mag vlog ka ulit dun. So hindi nila na ge-gets. Gusto nila ibigay yung content na gusto nila. Ang hipokrito ko naman kung babalik ako ng Japan, magpapakahirap ako dun para mabigay yung gusto niniyo,” she added.</p><div><br/></div><p>Jenela maintained that she has always been an open book as she constantly updates followers about her life. Now back in the Philippines, she revealed how she has more views on her vlog. </p><div><br/></div><p>“Lagi kong sinasabi sa mga viewers ko na very open ako. Ito na yung buhay ko ngayon, ito yung mga na-achieve ko. Marami sa kanila yung masaya, meron rin yung hindi,” she shared. </p><div><br/></div><p>Apart from being a content creator, Jenela made sure to have various sources of income –– a coffee kiosk, a hair extension salon, and various real estate investments. </p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Sabi nila ayaw na kitang panoorin kasi wala ka na sa Japan. Nung pag uwi ko, tinanggap na po namin mag-asawa na baka wala ng manonood kasi Jenela in Japan nga ako hindi naman ako Jenela in Philippines.</p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Nag plan B kami. Ang plan B namin mag nu-nurse kami sa US–– mag ta-take kami ng NCLEX so mag US nalang kami. Nagulat talaga kami na paguwi namin ng Pilipinas, November 2023, doon nag grow yung page ko, mas madami akong natanggap ng mga brand deals, mas maraming work.</p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Talagang sobrang daming views ng vlog ko–– doon ako mas minahal.&quot;</p><div><br/></div>
