The actress shared her thoughts during her appearance on the "Chika o Add to Cart" segment of GTV's Chika Cart on Tuesday, October 27. She chose to answer an intriguing question about her cosmetic procedure instead of turning it down.
AZ was asked whether she gets offended whenever people post her older pictures, knowing that she had undergone cosmetic enhancement.
The actress openly admitted that she had her nose done and stressed that she had never attempted to hide the procedure. However, she explained that seeing her previous photos does not bother her because she considers physical changes part of growing up and experiencing a personal transformation.

"Ako, yes I got my nose done. Honestly, hindi ako napipikon kapag lumalabas 'yung older photos ko, kasi kaunti lang naman 'yung pinagbago. I think everyone goes through a glow-up stage. I think everyone goes through na dati wala akong pake sa itsura ko, ngayon may pake na ako," AZ answered.
Beyond her appearance, AZ explained that her old photographs carry sentimental value. She does not want to lose these memories because some of the pictures capture meaningful moments from her younger years, including those spent with her father.
When the discussion shifted to whether cosmetic enhancements should remain a taboo subject, AZ expressed her belief that people should have the freedom to decide whether to share or keep their procedures private. She also pointed out that undergoing such treatments involves considerable expenses, physical discomfort, and courage.
"I feel like it's your own choice. If you want to keep it a secret, that's fine. Pero, we shouldn't judge people for going through enhancements. We should empower them because it takes so much confidence, it takes so much like courage for you to go through 'yung mga knife and everything; kasi grabe, ang sakit ng enhancements at ang gastos," AZ emphasized.
She further encouraged people to change how they view individuals who choose to undergo cosmetic procedures. Rather than making negative comments about their decisions, she believes the public should recognize their efforts to become more confident and comfortable with themselves.
"Honestly, we should be proud of those who have so much courage for going through that. Ba't niyo sila ija-judge, you should empower them, we should love them more, kasi they are starting to love themselves. If they wanna be more confident, and if that's their way of being confident, then we should accept that and we should love them for who they are," she added.
Through her statements, AZ highlighted the importance of respecting individual choices and creating a more accepting environment for people who decide to enhance their appearance.
AZ Martinez is a Filipino actress, television host, and beauty queen who has appeared in television dramas such as Forever Young and Mano Po Legacy: The Flower Sisters. She gained widespread public recognition as a housemate on the reality television show Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.
Recently, AZ Martinez revealed that she never planned to become a beauty queen and only joined a pageant out of boredom during the pandemic. However, she nearly backed out after finding out how much she would need to spend on styling and makeup. AZ eventually decided to continue after learning that withdrawing from the competition would cost her PHP 50,000. Her unexpected pageant journey also led her to meet fellow beauty queen Shuvee Etrata.
Previously, Shuvee Etrata and AZ Martinez stood up for their Bisaya roots as they spoke about stereotypes and discrimination tied to their regional identity. Shuvee recalled being typecast in domestic helper roles because of the perception that women from the provinces fit such characters. AZ, on the other hand, expressed frustration over comments about her Tagalog accent, which some people associate with her Cebuano background. Both actresses emphasized the talent, courage, and authenticity of Cebuanos while expressing pride in where they came from.
