Rivera affirmed that it’s important for people to do things that will boost their self-confidence.
“Ano man ang iyong trabaho huwag mong kalilimutan ang sarili mo, babae ka man o lalaki ka man, kailangan inaalagaan mo ang sarili mo. Kasi doon nagsisimula ang lahat. Imagine pag-gising mo sa umaga bad mood ka, edi the whole day bad mood ka na,” she explained.
(No matter what your job is, don’t forget yourself whether you’re a woman or a man; you need to take care of yourself. Because that’s where everything starts. Imagine when you wake up in the morning in a bad mood, then you are going to be in a bad mood the whole day.
