Looking forward to working on more projects in the new year, actress Andi Abaya admitted that the past year was not the easiest year for everyone.“Napakadami nating naging challenges for 2021 and papalapit na ang 2022 so I’m pretty sure a lot of us have learned from all these challenges we faced. The challenges we are facing right now, the loss of jobs, the shutdown. In this pandemic, we have all seen kung paano ito naka-apekto sa ating lahat and sa coming elections I hope we choose the right set of government officials. Kasi sa lahat ng pinagdaanan natin, ang dami nating natutunan and I hope that we can learn from all these challenges na sana in 2022 we can avoid it. Na matulungan natin yung bansa at matulungan natin ang isa’t isa and we can all recover slowly from everything that we have faced,” she said.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/12/26/fresh-scoops/andi-abaya-confident-with-her-love-team-with-kobie-197667' target='_blank'>READ: Andi Abaya confident with her love team with Kobie Brown: ‘Hindi sila nagkakamali na kami yung pinipili’</a>After being part of the iQiyi series Saying Goodbye and the upcoming film Caught In the Act, both with love team partner Kobie Brown, Andi said she looks forward to more blessings in the near future.“In terms of my career naman, everything this year was a big surprise for me.

And I really enjoyed doing it when I recording; I want to pursue it. But for now, of course, I’m focusing on my acting career and then I can practice my singing as well. And then in the future, I can also do dancing or maybe hosting. I want to explore this industry and I don’t want to limit myself in one talent lang,” she added.Saying Goodbye is now streaming exclusively on iQiyi and <a href='https://www.iQ.com' target='_blank'>www.iQ.com</a>.
