Now, she has 21 million TikTok followers and 4.7 million Facebook supporters. She recently ventured into the resort, home, and food business. </p><p>Some of her infamous issues were the viral Coron incident where she was declared persona non-grata, the Toni Talks interview where she revealed she earns P5 million a day, and some “out of touch” remarks online.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/regions/2024/6/16/influencers-face-potential-ban-in-coron-after-storming-mayor-s-office-over-fb-comment-806" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Influencers face potential ban in Coron after storming mayor’s office over FB comment</a></div><p>But behind closed doors, Tan said she’s a shy person who likes to spend time with her husband and two children. Contrary to public opinion, the social media star wants to prove that she’s a nice woman who has a passion for helping others.</p><p>An emotional Tan told ABS-CBN News: “Masaya po ako kapag kasama ko ang family. Iba kasi ang feeling kapag kasama sila. Gusto ko laging kasama ang husband ko. Gusto kong kayakap tuwing gabi ‘yung asawa ko. Kapag bubuhatin ko ang anak ko at kapag ka-text ko sina mama at papa, dun nawawala ang pagod ko.“</p><p>She continued, responding to online comments about the material things she posts: “Ang totoo po, simple lang po talaga akong tao. Dati po, nagpi-flex ako nung mga binibili ko sa Quiapo, hindi nila ako sinasabihang mayabang. Talagang nagpi-flex na po ako matagal na. Pero hindi po nila ako sinasabihang mayabang. Pero ngayon po, siguro dahil ‘yung pinaghirapan ko at ang pini-flex ko na ngayon ay mga luxury na, mga may presyo na, kaya ang nangyayari po ngayon ay sinasabi nilang mayabang ako. Pero kung iisipin niyo po, dati na akong pala-flex, wala nga lang value dati. Kapag may nakikita akong tao na mas maraming napundar kaysa akin, hindi po ako naiinggit, mas nai-inspire po ako.”</p><p>Accepting the fact that some people will continue to critique her no matter what, she added, “Sa bashers po, hindi ako naaapektuhan. Nasanay na rin po ako sa sobrang tagal ko na rin sa social media. Na-immune na ako. Saka kung maaapektuhan ako sa kanila, hindi naman po sila ang nagpa-aral sa akin, nagpapakain sa akin, parang ganun. Deadma na lang po. Ang bashers, sila ‘yung nagiging motivation ko para mas galingan ko sa buhay.”</p><p>At a very young age, Tan had to look for ways to earn money, selling everything to build her own businesses. </p><p>Her most treasured property? She answered: ‘Yung R Mansion in Tagaytay. Sa lahat ng binili naming properties, ‘yan lang po ang hindi ko iniisip na ibenta. Andun po kasi lahat ng pangarap ko.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1724393095559image1 (5).jpeg" style="width:633px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>On her relationship now with Rendon Labrador</strong></div><p>It was a hot topic when Tan, Rendon Labrador, and others were declared persona non-grata in Coron.</p><p>“Kay Kuya Rendon, medyo nagla-lay low po kasi medyo hindi po kami nagkakasama ngayon pero kaibigan ko pa rin siya. Mabait siya bilang kaibigan. Ang sa kanya nga lang, parang famewhore kasi siya na gustong sumikat. Pero bilang kaibigan, mabait naman talaga siya,” she said.</p><p>About the lessons she got from the infamous incident, she shared: “Super nagsisisi po ako na ganoon ang naging reaction ko. Hindi po ako ganung tao. Parang lahat ng kabutihang ginawa ko ay na-judge na sa isang pagkakamali. Umiiyak po ako nun pero never po ako nanduro or nanigaw nun (referring to viral video).”</p><div><strong>On helping others</strong></div><p>The entrepreneur said she’s passionate about helping other people. Part of her advocacy includes feeding the homeless, offering financial help, and giving groceries.</p><p>“‘Yung mga kinikita ko sa vlog, napupunta sa pagtulong ko. Nung pumunta po ako ng Happy Land sa Tondo, nagsama po ako ng mga chef namin at pinagluto namin ‘yung mga tao. Sobrang saya po nila. Iba ‘yung ngiti nila kapag nakikita nilang may pumupunta sa lugar nila. Milyun-milyon po ang ginagastos ko sa charity work,” she shared. </p><p>Tan also revealed that she wants to collaborate with Richard Gomez and denied the tax issues.</p><p>“Iba pa po ‘yung BIR commissioner before, matagal na po akong BIR ambassadress. Nagde-declare po talaga ako ng tax. Nagko-comply po talaga ako. Kaya nagpi-flex po ako kasi kampante po ako na nagde-declare ako ng tax. Ang matatakot lang naman po ay ‘yung hindi nagko-comply. Nagbabayad po ako,” she emphasized. </p><div><strong>Related videos:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BjSeJggc64w?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U0nRM32IvY8?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
