“Ikaw ang pinakamaganda para sa akin…naka-ayos man, o hindi, naka-make up man, o wala.

…at hindi magbabago yun kahit na tumanda na tayo.

Yung ngiti mo yung pinaka-magandang ngiti para sa akin. Yung tawa mo yung pinaka-magandang pakinggan na tawa…dahil yung kaligayahan mo ang pinaka nagpapa-saya sa akin.

Maganda ka na nga, maganda pa ugali mo.

Ang di lang maganda sayo, singing voice.”

Yesterday, Neri opened up about her struggles with trauma and depression, explaining that what people saw in the video was her authentic self — relaxed, makeup-free, and at peace in her home routine of gardening, cooking, and doing chores. She admitted that she was never born conventionally beautiful and had long battled insecurities from being told she wasn’t attractive, even as an actress. Despite these past criticisms, she said she has learned to accept her natural looks, freckles, and imperfections, embracing what she now calls her “quiet, simple version” of beauty.

Neri reflected on her growth, saying that real beauty comes from strength, kindness, and resilience rather than perfection or filters. She also encouraged women to normalize seeing real, unfiltered faces, even when they look tired or imperfect, reminding her followers that “maybe it’s in our most unfiltered moments that we actually look the most alive.”
