I&#x27;m sure they will,&quot; said Salvador.In the same interview, Salvador also reiterated her support for her fellow Filipinos who took to the streets last Sunday and demanded accountability from public officials over alleged corruption in the government.&quot;Kumakapal na rin talaga &#x27;yung mukha ng iba na kumukuha sa pera ng taong bayan. So it&#x27;s really time that we speak up and let our voices be heard at magkaisa tayo talaga,&quot; said Salvador, who said she was unable to join the protests due to her busy schedule. &quot;Kasi, tama na. Nakakapagod na rin.&quot;Asked if she had any regrets regarding the past elections, Salvador said: &quot;Tama naman lahat ng binoto ko.&quot;Salvador is set to appear on &quot;<a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/9/19/janella-salvador-gets-role-of-her-dreams-in-open-endings-2030">Open Endings</a>,&quot; an entry to the 2025 Cinemalaya film festival, and the TV series &quot;What Lies Beneath.&quot;
