Faith Da Silva revealed that deciding to join protests against alleged corruption was not easy for her, especially since it was the first time she openly spoke out at a rally.

During her guest appearance on the year-end special of “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Tuesday, Faith shared her experience as a first-time rally participant.

“I was really scared because it was my first rally ever where I spoke out and voiced my opinion, and I was there,” says Faith in the interview.

She also admitted that she thought about the possible impact on her livelihood in the entertainment industry.

“Of course, at first I was scared because of the projects, the gigs…,” she jokes while talking about her concerns.

Aside from work-related worries, Faith also mentioned safety issues, especially since disturbances can happen during such gatherings.

However, for the “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre” star, the welfare of the country matters more than personal income. “

I mean, what good is the money I earn if the people there are struggling because of that?,” she says.

Faith added that she believes courage should outweigh comfort, especially when the rights and welfare of fellow Filipinos are at stake.

“But at this point, our courage needs to be greater than the comfort we are feeling,” says Faith.

It can be recalled that various sectors of society, including artists and other personalities, held a series of protests to condemn the alleged corruption in flood control projects.
