But she admitted she has never been one to worry about looking deglamorized onscreen.</p><p>“Sa totoo lang po, walang masyadong adjustment sa akin kasi sa GMA naman talaga ganon ang mga tinatanggap kong trabaho. Deglamorized talaga and relaxed naman ako gawin lahat ng yun. Saka wala naman talaga akong takot magpakita ng no makeup look. Mas relaxed nga yun eh kasi mas gusto kong makikita yung acting.
