During her interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Monday, August 17, host Boy Abunda asked Chariz what she would tell her younger self. She responded by recalling how she was naturally proactive and often looked for opportunities to learn and help, even when she was still unsure of where those experiences would lead her.
Chariz admitted that she did not finish college, something she said she is not proud of, but noted that she learned a lot and met many people through her experiences.
“Buti na lang epal ka,” she told her younger self, prompting laughter from both her and Boy.

“Kung hindi, wala. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ka ngayon,” she added.
The Kapuso comedienne continued, “Pero ano siya talaga, my young self is mahilig talaga siyang, 'Hello, wala po akong ginagawa, may kailangan po kayo?' Ganoon. Ang hilig niya. So ang dami niyang natutunan, ang dami niyang nakilala kahit hindi siya nakatapos ng college. I'm not proud of that—gusto kong makatapos ng college.”
Chariz then recalled her on-the-job training at the Manila Broadcasting Company, where she was initially assigned to photocopy and fax documents. She said she eventually decided to look for other things to do after finding the routine boring.
“Pero, nag-OJT po ako noon, 'yun nga po sa Manila Broadcasting Company. Ang papel ko lang ay mag-xerox at mag-fax. Tapos hindi ako makapapayag. Sabi ko, 'I cannot do this all day. Ang boring nito.' So lumabas ako doon sa office ni Mr. Elizalde. Nagpunta ako doon sa mga art department. Tapos nakilala ko si Santi Elizalde. May sarili siyang office doon.”
Chariz also recalled going to Yes FM and Love Radio, where she was taught how to edit and gained more experience.
“Nakababa ako ng Yes FM, ng Love Radio. Tinuruan ako mag-edit-edit. Ang dami kong natutunan.”
Chariz then reflected on how her decision to step beyond her assigned duties could have changed the course of her life.
“Naging manager ko pa si Tito Potato sa singing gigs ko dati when I was young, before ako nag-artista. Kung hindi ko ginawa 'yun, 'di ba? Kung tinanggap ko lang na magse-xerox ako at magfa-fax, kung hindi ako epal, 'di ba?”
Boy responded by affirming Chariz's decision to take initiative: “Buti na lang.”
