She stressed that her decision was not meant to erase or damage her past image.
“Ako, wala po akong tinray i-prove o hindi ko po siya ginawa para basagin ‘yung image na Annaliza. I just did it simply because I can and I want to,” simulang paliwanag ni Andrea.
Andrea also shared that she was influenced by advice encouraging women to embrace their youth and body without hesitation.
“Mag-post ka nang mag-post kasi you’re only going to get that body once lalo na kapag babae ka, your body is always changing because it goes through a lot of stuff lalo na there’s menopause, pregnancy."
She added that life stages like pregnancy and menopause naturally change the body, making self-expression more important while young.
“Alam mo ‘yon? You’re only young once. So sabi ko ipo-flaunt ko ito. So I’m not doing this because of this and that. Ginawa ko lang siya kasi kaya ko, I want to,” she said.
She concluded firmly that her decision was personal and based on confidence.
“Nag-sexy calendar ako kasi sexy ako. ‘Yun lang.”
Her statement has sparked renewed discussion online about body confidence, freedom of expression, and expectations placed on former child stars.
