“It’s been really, really, busy. I did not expect 2025 to be like this. So I’m really happy. I need a lot of energy. 2025 is for the Aries daw and I’m Aries so yay! This year, there’s going to be a lot of hostings. I actually signed up with a lot of shows already. And so I’m just really excited to get into different kinds of genres in terms of shows,” she shared with PUSH ABS-CBN after hosting the NCat Philippines launch of P-pop girl group G22 as their new ambassadors in Pasay City.

“Actually, this year, I’m going to be hosting for more K-pop idols. Kasi my sisters are super into K-pop so I tell them who will be here. So I get extra excited because my sisters are the biggest fans. I’m just open to hosting all of them. I don’t want to be choosy but ang masasabi ko with Kpop artists, they’re very generous with their talent. And kahit sabihin ng mga manager na bawal ganito, ganyan, pag nasa stage na sila, sobrang game nila talaga. I can’t wait to unveil who I’m going to host for this year!” she explained.

“Yung recent one, after the rehearsal, he really stayed and kahit sobrang dark hinanap niya ako sa backstage and he really held my hand and he was like, ‘I really love your energy. I appreciate your hosting. I had so much fun here in the Philippines.’ Hindi ako maka-react because it’s him and he’s super cute pa. And in the dark, he was shining pa. Radiant yung skin niya. And ako lang yung nakakita nun. It wasn’t on video. Ang babait talaga ng mga K-pop stars!” she admitted.

“This year I really want to host a lot of international events. That’s what I’m aiming for. Nung January I hosted for Taiwan. I’m also going to host in Thailand.

“Nakaka-excite because there are no walls anymore. I realize there’s so much collaborations between different channels. I’ve actually appeared on GMA and also TV5 so parang ramdam ko na that everyone’s a family. So to see them sa Bahay ni Kuya from GMA in ABS-CBN nakaka-excite. It’s just going to be an exciting thing to see them both not as enemies but as friends. It’s exciting,” she shared.
