Ruffa open to doing another talk show
Even if Ruffa Gutierrez expressed disappointment at what happened on “Paparazzi: Showbiz Exposed” during the show’s birthday episode for her, the former beauty queen said she’s still open to doing another talk show.
“Why not? I’m never closing my doors. I am not an angry being. Hindi naman ako galit. So I’m open to anything. I think it’s what I do best. Not really to gossip, but to talk about showbiz news,” she said during the launch of her website and her foundation Roof-a-Child on Saturday, June 30.
The Kapatid star added, “And maybe one day I can work with Raymond (Gutierrez, her younger brother).”
However, Ruffa dispelled talks that she’s planning to return to her former network, ABS-CBN. In one of her tweets about the “Paparazzi” incident, she compared the TV5 to the Kapamilya show, “The Buzz.”
“May kontrata pa ako sa TV5. I think all those talks are very immature, at huwag muna natin pag-usapan kasi siyempre respeto na rin natin sa TV5,” she explained. “And hindi natin masasabi ang bukas. So many things can happen in six months.”
The 38-year-old actress-host said she has moved on from the incident.
“Alam mo, for me, hindi kasi ako nagho-hold ng grudges e. In everything that I do, I give my 100 percent energy and happy ako as a person and I’m surrounded by positive people kaya ako hindi nagiging depressed.”
“Or kung sa tingin ng tao may mga negative na nangyayari sa buhay ko, napapalitan agad yun. Mabilis ang turnover, positive agad.”
New beginnings
For her 38th year (she celebrated her birthday last June 24), Ruffa is looking forward to new beginnings and better things.
“Marami akong gustong gawin sa buhay ko. I’m not getting any younger. And, like I said, you can’t erase your past but you can write your future.”
Ruffa further said, “So marami kasing nagsasabi, ‘Bakit si Ruffa, ang OA-OA, ang arte-arte, ganito naman yun dati, ganyan naman yun dati.’ Who cares about the past? Everyone of us has a past. Ang importante is how you use your past and you learn from your mistakes, you learn from other people’s mistakes and you make your life better. And I think that’s where I’m heading right now.”
“Yung mga tao naman na tumitira sa akin, they simply don’t like me kaya hindi na sila dapat pinapansin.”
As part of her “new beginning,” Ruffa plans to focus on her Roof-a-Child foundation, a non-profit organization she founded in 1998 which aims to provide livelihood and shelter for the underprivileged.
“It’s the direction I want to be in when I turn 40, for example. I don’t want to stay where I am now,” she said of her foundation. “I want to move forward and I want to move forward in a bigger way, in a more positive way.”
She knows people might question the sincerity of the project due to its timing. But for Ruffa, “Ang importante deep in my heart na alam kong sincere ako.”
