AMINADO ang aktres na si Liza Soberano na nakararamdam siya ng gulat sa tuwing tinatawag siyang “Hope” ng ibang tao.
Sa kanyang recent interview sa Esquire magazine, naibahagi niya tila na-misunderstood siya ng mga tao sa kanyangnagdaang pahayag.
“It’s actually very surprising to me because now, when I go out, people call me Hope. I’ve been to concerts and stuff and people would scream ‘Hope! Hope!’ I love my name and everything, but now I was like, ‘Oh my god, I was so misunderstood,'” saad ni Liza.
Kuwento pa niya, marami sa mga netizens ang nagko-comment sa kanyang social media accounts at tinatanong kung bakit hindi pa rin siya nagbabago ng pangalan.
Lahd ng dalaga, “Like, this is not what I want. I still want to be known as Liza.”
Matatandaang matapos ang ilang taong pamamahinga nito sa showbiz ay muli siyang naging sentro nang usap-usapan dahil sa isang vlog na pinamagatang “This Is Me” at mapapanood sa kanyang YouTube channel.
Sey ng dalaga sa naturang controversial vlog, “I know this was for my own good. It was to protect me and my career. But it was a career I had no say in. A career that in many ways wasn’t mine. I didn’t even choose the name Liza. It was chosen for me.”
Paglilinaw ng dalaga, noong binanggit niya ito sa kanyang vlog ay hindi niya mini-mean na ayaw niya ang stage name.
“When I brought that up in my vlog, I was like, the name Liza wasn’t a name that I chose for myself. I wasn’t saying that I didn’t like it. I was just stating a fact. A lot of people don’t know that I didn’t choose that name,” lahad niya.

Nakadagdag rin daw siguro sa confusion ng mga tao ang kanyang naging controversial ad kung saan sinabi niyang “Call me Hope”.
“I feel like that kind of doubled down on that narrative but that’s not what I meant. We were trying to be kind of meta with it—when I’m an actress, when you know I’m a public figure, I’m Liza.
“And then there’s when I’m just being me or when I’m working on personal stuff or even like when I’m producing, directing, because I’m not the star. So, I was kind of trying to show people that there are two sides of me: there’s Liza and there’s Hope,” pagbabahagi ng dalaga.
Kaugnay niyo, inamin rin niya na sobrang na-stress siya dahil sa mga sunud-sunod na isyu ukol sa kanya na hindi niya inaasahan kaya napilitan na rin siyang tumungo sa Amerika.
“Honestly, I didn’t imagine that things would turn out the way it did at the time, and honestly, that period was a very stressful time for me because I felt very misunderstood,” kwento ni Liza.
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “And so, all I did then was I got away from the country. I came back here to the US to spend time with my family, and just kind of reconnect with myself.”
Dito raw ay nakaramdam siya na parang na-outcast siya at hindi siya “belong sa kahit saan.
“But like, it’s also a learning lesson, you know, everything that happened, happened for a reason and there was some bad but there was also some good and I’m just going to take everything that I learned from that and kind of become better,” hirit naman ni Liza.
