• The singer reminded critics that she was only 15 when she first appeared on TV and is now 23 years old, attributing her look to natural aging
• She admitted to having a nose job because she wanted to and could afford it, while also crediting her transformation to makeup skills

OPM singer-songwriter Janine Berdin has reached her limit with netizens who continue to scrutinize her physical transformation. In a recent "rant" posted on her Facebook page, the Tawag ng Tanghalan Season 2 grand champion fired back at critics who claim she looks entirely different from the young girl they first saw on television years ago.

The issue stems from a recurring comment among bashers: “WALA NG TRACE NG JANINE SA MUKA NYA.” Janine, now 23, was quick to point out the simple logic of aging and maturity. “Behhh I was around 15 years old when you saw me on TV. 16 years old ako nung nanalo ako sa TNT, 8 years ago yun. I’m 23 now bro,” she wrote, emphasizing that nearly a decade has passed since her debut.

While she has always been open about her cosmetic enhancements, Janine clarified exactly what she had changed. “Ilong lang pinaayos ko pre kasi trip at afford ko bakit ba. Tska pri makeup yan pri turuan ko nalang kayo magmakeup pri para di na kayo mainggit pri,” she quipped. She didn't hold back against those who compared her to other celebrities who have undergone procedures, suggesting that those who spend their time bashing others often have their own insecurities to deal with.

“No secure, happy and BEAUTIFUL person has the time to spread hate. So you guys are really just telling on yourselves blehhhh,” the singer added. She reminded her followers that her primary focus remains her music, but she stands by her choice to experiment with her style, whether it’s changing her hair color or wearing wigs. For Janine, self-expression is a personal journey. “Do sh!t for yourself cuz this life is yours - the coffin only has space for one,” she reminded everyone.

Janine Berdin first captured the heart of the "Madlang People" in 2018 with her unique, raspy voice and powerful performances of OPM rock classics. Over the years, she has evolved from a teenager in military-style uniforms to a sophisticated artist with a bold sense of fashion. Despite the "evolution" in her looks, her fans remain loyal, recently supporting her transition to an independent artist and her new era under Island Records Philippines.
