During her October 9 appearance on GTV’s “Chika Cart,” the actress explained that seeing her child get hurt affected her deeply. She admitted that she would rather endure the pain herself than have her daughter go through it.
“S'yempre 'yung nangyari sa anak ko, 'yon talaga 'yung pinakamasakit sa akin bilang artista. Alam mo 'yun, kahit ako na lang sana 'yung masaktan, huwag lang 'yung anak ko. 'Yun 'yung pinakamasakit doon, kapag nasasaktan na 'yung anak mo,” she said.
The conversation happened during the program’s “Chika o Add to Cart” segment. Guests must choose whether to answer a question from a box by saying “Chika” or decline through “Add to Cart.”

Choosing to answer, Yasmien read a question about the most painful experience she had faced as an actress that still hurts whenever she remembers it.
Her response focused on Ayesha’s experience at school. Although the question concerned her life as an actress, it was her pain as a mother that she spoke about.
For the celebrity mom, part of that hurt comes from not understanding why her daughter had been targeted. She acknowledged that the memory continues to bring back difficult feelings.
“'Yung masakit do'n, I don't know kung bakit na-target 'yung anak ko. Doon ako nagtataka na part, doon ako nasasaktan. Hanggang ngayon naaalala ko siya, may kirot pa rin siya,” she shared.
The interview also touched on her hopes for her daughters, Ayesha and Raya Layla. When discussing their future, the actress put their happiness first.
“Ang pangarap ko sa kanila is to become happy s'yempre in life and bonus na kung maging successful sila,” she said.
As for the possibility of following her into showbiz, Yasmien said their studies should come first. Education is what she most wants to give them as they grow up and consider their own paths.
“Eventually, 'pag gusto pa rin nila [maging artista], pero s'yempre school muna, mag-aral muna sila, and 'yun ang pinakagusto kong mapamana sa kanila, 'yung education nila,” she explained.
Before ending her appearance, the star also encouraged fellow parents to listen when their children try to share something with them.
She advised them to stay attentive to unusual changes in their children’s behavior, including becoming withdrawn or spending more time alone. Her message emphasized being involved and aware of what children encounter, including on social media.
Yasmien Kurdi is an award-winning Filipino actress, singer-songwriter, and model who first rose to prominence as the First Runner-Up on the debut season of GMA's StarStruck. Born to a Filipino-Chinese mother and a Lebanese father, she spent much of her early childhood in the Middle East before returning to the Philippines, eventually building a successful career in hit drama series, releasing platinum music albums, and balancing family life with her husband Rey Soldevilla and their children.
In another report, Yasmien Kurdi revealed that studying law gave her something to hold on to after her family endured a painful ordeal. Immersing herself in her studies helped her redirect her attention and find direction during a challenging chapter. She also recounted the difficulties surrounding her child's hospital stay and therapy sessions, alongside the health concerns she faced afterward. Yasmien has likewise spoken about her advocacy for gender sensitivity and stronger legal safeguards for women and children.
Meanwhile, Cristine Reyes recalled how being eliminated from “StarStruck” at 14 left her struggling with self-doubt. GMA News reported that she received no votes during the competition, an experience that took a toll on her confidence. Now part of the judging panel for a new talent search, Cristine hopes young performers will understand that setbacks can help them develop rather than define their abilities. She also advised them to preserve their individuality, avoid negative influences, and remain humble as their careers progress.
