So lagi silang nandiyan to help me and guide me. They’re family. Marami naman ako natutunan. Yung mga experiences natin yun naman yung tumutulong sa atin.

Iba rin kasi talaga yung pagmamahal eh, kasi hindi lang para sa pamilya, pati sa sarili. Kasi lahat tayo meron tayo nun, kumbaga innate na yun sa atin.“And one thing na hindi ko makakalimutan yung sinabi ni Magda na nung tini-tease siya at binu-bully siya sinabi niya na hindi naman sila nag-ma-matter sa kanya so hindi importante yung opinion nila. I guess it’s human nature, I feel like everyone talks talaga. Kumbaga nasa sa ‘yo lang yan kung magpapa-apekto ka ba or kung ano yung gagawin mo. Kumbaga yung perspective, ganun lang. Yun siguro talaga,” she shared.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/6/29/fresh-scoops/erich-gonzales-on-wearing-prosthetics-in-la-vida-194280'>READ: Erich Gonzales on wearing prosthetics in ‘La Vida Lena’: ‘Nagkaroon siya ng irritation’</a>Just like her previous roles, Erich tries to make each character she portrays memorable and different from one another. In Lena’s story, getting revenge on those who did her wrong in the past is her goal. In real life, Erich said she also believes in karma.“Siguro dito pinaka-challenge lang talaga is yung paano maging iba yung ipapakita natin sa mga nagawa na nating projects before, kung paano siya hindi magiging same lang sa mga past projects na nagawa natin and with the help of our directors okay naman yata yung kinalabasan.“I believe what goes around comes around so kumbaga kung ano yung itinanim mo yun yung aanihin mo so might as well magtanim ka na lang ng mga mabubuti sa puso mo and then just stop stressing about the things that you have no control of. And instead focus na lang sa mga bagay na kaya mo naman gawan ng paraan.“Siguro it’s about prioritizing kung ano yung mas makakatulong para sa iyo. Kasi pag feeling mo okay ka, then you’ll be able to help other people also, parang ganun,” she explained.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/6/19/fresh-scoops/erich-gonzales-on-maintaining-friendship-with-thai-194101'>READ: Erich Gonzales on maintaining friendship with Thai actor Mario Maurer: ‘Mario is a good friend’</a>With so many new talents joining Star Magic this year, Erich said she does not feel threatened or competitive with the newer generation of artists.“Mas maganda na dun ka mag-focus kesa sa ibang tao kasi parang it’s just not me para mag-compare sa ibang tao.
