Kung hindi mo type mag-love team, don&rsquo;t attach yourself to a love team&hellip; There&rsquo;s still value to it kasi may mga taong makakarelate sa mga storya ng young love kasi a large part of our population is composed of young people. So, they want to see a reflection of themselves,&rdquo; she said. The Triangle of Sadness actress added that actors should decide for themselves whether or not being in a love team is good for them. &ldquo;But it also matters when we tell other stories [to] make sure that everyone is represented. Kaya hindi rin ako pabor na mawala siya. If some people think it won&rsquo;t be good for them, then don&rsquo;t do it. But for other people, it works,&rdquo; she added.&nbsp; The Golden Globe nominee shared that she sees where Liza is coming from and that &ldquo;we have to respect it.&rdquo; &ldquo;Whatever she said, it&rsquo;s her truth and we have to respect it. We should allow people to voice out whatever [their problems are]. Like me, I&rsquo;ve been voicing out so many things, di ba? So why not also give her that space? She deserves to speak her truth,&rdquo; she shared. <a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/4/28/dolly-de-leon-reveals-eugene-domingo-once-paid-her-child-s-tuition-she-never-left-1545" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/4/28/dolly-de-leon-reveals-eugene-domingo-once-paid-her-child-s-tuition-she-never-left-1545" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">READ: Dolly de Leon reveals Eugene Domingo once paid her child&rsquo;s tuition: &lsquo;She never left&rsquo;</a> &ldquo;She was really very young I think when that happened and for her it impacted her in a negative way and we have to respect her for feeling that way. There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with it,&rdquo; she continued. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old actress gave advice to aspiring actors who want to try making it big in the showbiz industry.&nbsp; &ldquo;Isipin niyo kung bakit gusto niyong maging artista, anong motivation niyo?
