The actor shared that much of the year felt like quiet preparation, filled with hard work done without applause and effort made even when no one was watching. According to Ruru, these moments taught him to love the process instead of focusing only on wins or recognition. He said the losses and heartaches played a big role in shaping him and making him stronger as a person.
Now entering a new year, Ruru said he feels more ready to face whatever comes his way. He explained that this readiness does not come from having everything figured out, but from having a stronger heart and clearer intentions. For him, what matters most is doing things with purpose, for the good of others, and always guided by his faith.
In his message, Ruru ended by expressing gratitude for every day he was able to overcome, especially the challenges of the past year. He welcomed the new year with a thankful heart and a renewed sense of peace, saying he is grateful not just for the victories, but also for simply surviving and learning from yesterday.

“Yesterday wasn’t my best year, but it was one of my most meaningful.
I learned a lot—no doubt about that.
I may not have gotten the outcome I wanted, but I trust that everything was part of God’s plan.
It felt like preparation.
Preparation for something bigger.
Even if I don’t fully see it yet, I feel it—nararamdaman ko.
The hard work when no one was clapping.
The grind when no one was watching.
I learned to love the process.
Because it’s not always about being on top or feeling the win.
The losses, the heartaches—they shaped me and made me stronger.
Today, alam kong mas handa na ako sa kahit anong dadating.
Not because I have everything figured out, kundi dahil buo na ang loob ko.
I don’t need to prove anything to anyone.
As long as my intentions are clear, and everything I do is for the good of others—and always through God.
Happy New Year.
Forever grateful for every day—especially for surviving yesterday.”
