When asked how she reacts when there are political or religious disagreements in her family and group of friends, Ina revealed that she tries to change the topic whenever that happens.
The actress explained that no matter how close two people are, debates and arguments will happen if they focus on their opposing views on politics or religion.
“Number one yang politics or religion, try to avoid fighting over it. Kasi kahit gaano pa kayo ka-close ng family or friend, pag magkaiba kayo, you will just end up in a debate, not in a good way.
“Kaya ako yung tao na, ‘change topic.’ I’m that person na kapag nagiging usapan na yung opposing views sa politics o religion, ‘change topic.’
“Ayaw ko kasi ng negativity or any bad vibes.
“But I’m so happy that my sisters and I, my family, we all share the same views politically and pati sa religion kaya super good vibes.
“Ang dad ko lang ang iba kaya pag nag-start na, ‘Okay, change topic.’
“Sa friends naman, meron akong mga friends na iba ang views, kaya ‘change topic’ lang palagi.
“Ganun lang ka-simple, two words ‘Change topic,’” Ina told KAMI.
