"I've been in showbiz since I was 13, and for as long as I can remember, people have always had something to say about how I look. Too fat, too thin, too young, too old. Parang wala kang panalo! 😅"

During their video chat, Ruffa asked Venice what she thought older generations needed to learn from younger people today. Venice shared a thoughtful perspective on looking beyond surface appearances:

"You never really know what someone is going through just by looking at them. I think that people are so quick to judge on what people look like on the outside rather than internally, because no one actually knows what's going on. And if you're healthy and you feel good, that's all that matters."

Moved by her daughter’s insight, Ruffa reflected on how parenting is a two-way street of learning and emotional safety.

In her written post, Ruffa reaffirmed the core values she hopes to instill in both of her girls:

"But as a mom, I want my daughters to know that their worth will never be defined by their looks or what other people say. ❤️ My conversation with Venice reminded me that sometimes, it’s our children who teach us the most important lessons. And sometimes, all we really need is someone who listens without judging. 🥺 Less judgment. More understanding. More love. ❤️ That’s my idea of #LiveLighter."
