“Ang title ng series namin ni Nio (Tria) ay Poser kasi si Beth she struggles with bulimia nervosa. Meron siyang eating disorder kasi she was overweight before kaya nagkaroon siya ng struggles with her self-image. Kaya nung meron siyang nagustuhan na guy, feeling siya hindi siya gusto, feeling niya hindi siya matatanggap kasi hindi rin niya tanggap sarili niya.
“Feeling niya she’s not beautiful enough kahit she lost weight na. Kaya nung may nahanap siya na app na YouMorphMe, ginawa niya yung way para gumawa ng fake self niya at yun naman si Lily. Ginamit niya yung app na yun para mang-catfish kasi feeling niya yun lang yung way para matanggap siya.
“Actually hindi ko pa ito napag-uusapan pero naka-relate ako kay Beth on her struggle with an eating disorder. Pero never ako gumawa ng fake persona. Pero naramdaman ko yung struggle niya kung bakit hindi siya worthy na ipakita yung sarili niya sa mga tao.
“Nag-struggle din ako sa acne pero hindi siya actually masyado alam ng mga tao kasi palagi ako naka-makeup. Sa Kadenang Ginto bago ako pumunta sa set iiyak muna ako sa kotse kasi ang dami kong pimples. Kapag kinakausap ako hindi ako tumitingin kasi nahihiya ako. Na-overcome ko yan sa mismong Kadenang Ginto rin kaya sobrang nagpapasalamat ako sa show na yun kasi hindi lang siya naging trabaho sa akin. Lahat ng staff, cast, crew naging family. Sila ang bumuo sa akin.
“Para sa akin napakalaking bagay para ma-overcome mo yung mga ganung klaseng depression, eating disorder, malaking bagay na meron kang suporta sa mga totoong tao na nagmamahal sa iyo. Pero kinuha ko rin yung lakas na yun sa sarili ko. Hindi yun overnight. Ilang taon na ako nag-sa-struggle and ngayon nasasabi ko na okay na ako,” Andrea shared.
