<p>Charo Santos recently opened up what inspired her to join TikTok.</p><p>In an interview with Ogie in his latest YouTube vlog, the actress said she wanted to explore the world of social media as someone who grew up in traditional television.</p><p>&quot;Nung una I was apprehensive. Alam mo naman galing ako sa traditional media, di ba? Linear programming, may oras lahat. But I wanted to discover social media and discovering social media is not just like scrolling or lurker ka lang, di ba? Sige nga, pasukin ko &#x27;yung mundo [ng social media],&quot; she recounted.</p><p>The Kapamilya executive added that she wanted to evolve along with the entertainment industry in the digital era.</p><p>&quot;Tapos sabi ko safe space naman, kasi una may fear eh, may takot. Parang, naku may bashing, di ba? &#x27;Yun talaga ang takot ko. Pero sabi ko &#x27;pag hindi ko ito pinasok, nasa world of entertainment ako, nage-evolve ang mga platforms. Gusto kong malaman, gusto kong ma-experience. There&#x27;s nothing like being in it, di ba?&quot; she remarked. &quot;Tapos gusto ko talagang mag-experiment. &#x27;Yung sense of curiosity ko.&quot;</p><p>The actress also shared that she pushed herself to try various TikTok trends.  &quot;Ano to, magde-dear Charo lang ba ako? Magi-give lang ba ako ng advice? Aba, sumayaw na ako, okay naman. Aba, nag lip sync ako, okay naman. Ine-enjoy ko. Tapos sabi ko aba, mag-acting piece nga ako dito, parang short video, okay din naman. Na-engganyo na talaga ako,&quot; she said.</p><p>Charo has 532,000 followers on TikTok to date. </p><div><br/></div><blockquote cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@charosantosofficial/video/7604799129658625288" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="7604799129658625288" id="v84388833636334860" style="max-width:605px;min-width:325px"><iframe name="__tt_embed__v84388833636334860" sandbox="allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-same-origin" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7604799129658625288?lang=en-US&amp;referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com%2F%23%2Fworkspace%2Fmonitoring%3Fitem%3Durn%3Anewsml%3Aod2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com%3A2026-02-15T01%3A55%3A51.779143%3Af7ca92ff-9db0-4900-b272-a6d0b046fd6e%26action%3Dedit" style="width:100%;height:740px;display:block;visibility:unset"></iframe></blockquote><script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>In a previous interview with Korina Sanchez on<em> Korina Interviews</em>, Charo emphasized the importance of adapting and continuing to learn in today&#x27;s fast-changing media environment. </p><p>&quot;You always have to adapt to the changes as they come,&quot; she stated.</p><p>She underscored how curiosity remains essential in a world that is constantly evolving. </p><p>&quot;Di ba the world is not dull and boring, and it doesn&#x27;t stay in this one singular situation, hindi ganun eh.
