“Pinakamasasabi ko lang kay Shuvee siguro is piliin mo 'yung mga papakinggan mo 'tsaka tatanggapin mo sa sarili mo,” Mika said, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness and emotional boundaries when facing public criticism.

The PBB winner added that while it’s essential to accept mistakes and learn from them, it’s equally important to protect one’s peace and mental well-being from destructive remarks.

“Kung meron kang mistake, own it, say you're sorries, change, own it. Parang, kung constructive criticism, take it. Pero kung pure hate lang, let it go, slow down,” she continued.

Mika’s message serves as both a reminder and a reassurance — that while criticism can help one grow, not every opinion deserves a response. For young public figures like Shuvee, learning to strike that balance may be one of the most important lessons in the spotlight.
