<p><em>Pinoy Big Brother Gen 11</em> Big Winner Fyang Smith got candid about addressing her past attitude issues in an interview with Ogie Diaz.</p><p>Fyang admitted that the series of controversies about her behavior pushed her to reflect and make real changes in herself.</p><p>“Ang masasabi ko ngayon na may character development. Nafeel ko na siya sa sarili ko kasi everytime na may labas ako, hindi na ako ganoon kaingay, na everytime may interview ako hindi na nanalo yung intrusive thoughts ko and everytime na may mga gathering alam ko na sa sarili ko na magbehave,” Fyang shared.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLRekNDBVv_/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A9792455%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The former PBB winner said she decided to change because she was tired of being involved in controversies that also affected her family and loved ones.</p><p>“Sabi ko sa sarili ko na pagod na ako sa issue kasi every other month may issue ako kaya sabi ko its time for a change na kailangan ko na baguhin ang sarili ko kasi nadadamay na iyong family ko and yung mga mahal ko sa buhay and nasasaktan ako, “ she added. “Mas nahuhurt ako sa family kapag may nadadamay ko sa kagagahan ko before.”</p><p>Fyang went on: “Yung mga nasa paligid ko hindi nagkulang yan (na pagsabihan ako) talagang sarili kong gawain iyon na mali ako and aminado ako at nagtake naman ako ng accountability na every time na may issue ako, I’m very very sorry. After noon, hindi na pwede iyon kailangan may tuldok.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe width="916" height="515" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2kM3KOKvHeA" title="Fyang Smith, isa-isang nilinaw ang mga isyu! | Ogie Diaz" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Fyang previously was embroiled in a series of issues regarding her alleged bad attitude towards colleagues and fans that resulted in wide backlash from netizens. She recalled how she was repeatedly called into her management’s office because of the issues.</p><p>“Lagi po ako napapagalitan ni Direk Lauren Dyogi. Sorry po,” Fyang revealed. “Yung mga past issues ko, dire-diretso siya, so everytime na lalabas na parang ang laki ng issue na parang pumatay ako kasi ang laki talaga. So every day, nasa 12th floor talaga ako, office day.”</p><p>“Yung mga lagi kong nababasa na, ’Ano ba itong management na ito? Hindi man lang pinagsasabihan si Fyang. Wala ba silang magawa?’ (to tell you po) everyday po ako pinapatawag sa office para pagsabihan po,” Fyang said. </p><p>Despite the reprimands, Fyang said she sees Lauren Dyogi as a father figure who helps guide her through the rough patches in her career.</p><p>“Sa pagtaas, kinakabahan ako. Sabi ko, ‘Shocks. Ano ba ito? Ano na naman ginawa ko?’ kasi yung ibang issue, Tito Ogs, mga past ko na tapos binabalik lang. So, hindi ko siya kayang ipagtanggol ang sarili ko doon sa mga luma ko na talaga na (issue). Hindi ko talaga kaya. Nagso-sorry na lang ako and tinutuldukan ko na talaga kasi mali ko rin Tito Ogs. Yung mga nangyari sa akin before, mali ko iyon and inaamin ko po iyon,” Fyang expressed.</p><div><br/></div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">“Fyang with Star Magic head, Direk Lauren.” ✨<br/><br/>Finally, nakita na rin niya ang kanyang ‘tatay’ sa PBB.

Wala ka na sa PBB,’” Fyang said.</p><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@sofiiaasmithh6_/video/7430687527201148178" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7430687527201148178" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><section><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sofiiaasmithh6_?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="@sofiiaasmithh6_">@sofiiaasmithh6_</a> morning hometown!💞 <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/sofiasmith?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="sofiasmith">#sofiasmith</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyp?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="fyp">#fyp</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/fyang?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="fyang">#fyang</a> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-rkavlyrics-7392456417929726736?refer=embed" target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - rkavlyrics - Line@Devcor">♬ original sound - rkavlyrics - Line@Devcor</a></section></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><p>“Si JM po talaga sobrang talinong tao.
