Some also made bright predictions, seeing her as the next big thing in showbiz.Now, Kolette is here to weigh in on these thoughts in this exclusive video! Let’s see how she handles the hype and keeps it real!<div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABQDUwRYg_yYjBoc&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div>Kolette couldn’t help but smile when she saw assumptions calling her “makulit” and “happy-go-lucky.” She agrees completely, saying, “Ayaw ko kasi na maraming nakabusangot na mukha sa harapan ko, gusto ko lahat nakatawa.” She’s willing to be everyone’s source of laughter by being her naturally playful self. Kolette hopes her followers can pick up on that energy, too, and, just like her, embrace a mindset of always finding joy.She also agrees with a remark about her being “friendly.” For her, being friendly also means being approachable, especially to fans. So, if you spot her in public and want a selfie, just go for it! Kolette has a special connection with her supporters, saying, “Malaki ang respeto ko sa kanila. Isa po sila sa mga taong kinapitan ko sa lahat ng mga challenges sa Bahay Ni Kuya. Inisip ko po talaga sila kasi sila ang nakakakilala sa akin. Sila ang nakakakita sa mga ginagawa ko.”She’s genuinely touched when someone predicted she’s going to be a “superstar” because she’s a “full package and down-to-earth.” Kolette laughs as she admits she hadn’t even realized all her abilities until she was inside Bahay Ni Kuya. She wants her fans to learn to believe in themselves, too. “Huwag kayong maniwala sa mga negative thoughts n&#x27;yo, guys. Paniwalaan n&#x27;yo talaga ang sarili n&#x27;yo,” she advises. Struggling to find the right words, she says, “Wala tayong… kuan ba…”—adding a funny pause—“Lahat natututunan. ‘Yun na lang,” and laughs.On the notion that she’s “magaling kumanta,” Kolette recalls how she once doubted her own singing voice. But hearing positive feedback like this has changed her perspective. Comments like “she can be a pop star” also feel like little affirmations of her dream to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry.“Korek!” she reacts to a fan’s opinion that she’d “bloom kahit walang ship sa kahit kanino.” While she’s very open to love teams, Kolette firmly believes that it’s never a prerequisite to succeeding in showbiz. “Hindi naman po sa nag-aano ako, pero may tiwala po ako sa sarili ko na kaya ko po,” she states. “At ibibigay ko po lahat ng makakaya ko... Hindi lang po kakulitan ang maipapakita ko, kundi may maipapakita rin po ako sa pagkanta, pagsayaw, at pag-akting, sa lahat-lahat po.”Kolette’s face softens as she reads feedback calling her “genuine and deserving of all the best.” She’s poured her heart into her “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/pbbgen112024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PBB Gen 11</a>” journey, so she believes she’s earned her place there.Finally, on being described as “simple,” she laughs, admitting she’s more used to a low-key style when it comes to looks and outfits. But now that she’s officially in showbiz, she’s slowly learning how to present herself well for her audience.What’s your assumption about Kolette, Kapamilya?
