00:00Aside from the family issues that Gillian Ward experienced,
00:07she has tried to quit her showbiz career several times.
00:11All of that stemmed from her anxiety and personal struggles while growing up in the public eye.
00:16This is part 2 of her interview with GMA Integrated News interview with Nelson Canlas.
00:22In part 1 of my interview with Gillian Ward and Michael Sager,
00:30I confessed to the star of the new gen that her parents separated and left her with a lot of sadness.
00:43For the children who are going through this situation,
00:47Gill's advice is to be strong.
00:50I guess I just need to understand both sides.
00:55You really have to understand what's happening and you have to trust yourself that you can overcome it.
01:04You have to be strong.
01:06Gill also confessed.
01:08There were times when my dad misunderstood us.
01:13But I really love my dad.
01:17I hope you're proud and I'm proud of you that you were able to overcome what you went through.
01:25Whatever you taught me, I will show you that it's all worth it.
01:32And I will do more than what you expected of me.
01:36And I love you.
01:38If she smiles and is happy in front of the public,
01:42Gillian will see the opposite when she's at home.
01:46Growing up, my parents were very strict.
01:49As in O.A.
01:51I wasn't spoiled growing up.
01:53I had to earn everything I have.
01:56So whatever I have, I worked for it.
01:59Even my toys, I worked for it.
02:01Things like that.
02:04Growing up, my parents were very strict.
02:08When they separated, they gave me freedom.
02:13Which is good.
02:14But it was hard for me because I didn't know where to start.
02:20I grew up with everything I have.
02:22They took care of me.
02:23I had everything I needed.
02:25Did you feel at some point that you didn't have anything?
02:28Yes.
02:29She attempted to quit showbiz several times.
02:33Because until now, she still has anxiety.
02:38And she's always hard on herself.
02:41Do you enjoy the attention?
02:43Because since you were 5, you went to malls, markets, restaurants.
02:48Everyone knows you.
02:50Everyone wants to hug you.
02:51Everyone wants to take a picture with you.
02:53Yes, I enjoy it.
02:54Because when someone takes a picture with me, they are very happy.
02:58Sometimes, there was an incident where my grandfather woke up.
03:05I was crying and he wanted to take a selfie with me.
03:10I was still very young.
03:12I was 13 years old.
03:15Growing up, I didn't know how to say no.
03:19Imagine, my grandfather was there.
03:22I was crying and he wanted to take a selfie with me.
03:25Growing up, I didn't know how to say no.
03:28Somehow, that's what I'm learning now.
03:31You also need boundaries to protect your emotional and mental health.
03:38This year, in prime time,
03:40My Ilonggo Girl will make you cry.
03:41I can't leave my family.
03:43Jillian and Michael will make you fall in love with the latest rom-com, My Ilonggo Girl.
03:49You know how much I love you.
03:51This is a tribute to her mother, Ilongga.
03:55She will play a dual role in the series.
03:58My father is very carefree.
04:02I can say that we are almost the same.
04:05So, you don't put a lot of effort in love.
04:07Yes, that's right.
04:09But, I had a hard time with Venice.
04:11She is very strict here.
04:15She is very serious.
04:16She gets hurt.
04:18She is always angry.
04:19So, I had a hard time.
04:21In real life, I don't know how to get angry.
04:23Actually, when I get angry, I cry.
04:26Michael is excited to explore his character as Francis.
04:32He has a lot of similarities with him.
04:35For me, I'd like to say that I'm very driven.
04:38If I want something, I really work hard to achieve it.
04:41Francis wants to do well in his business.
04:46For me, I want to do well in my career.
04:48While minding my family, it's very important to us both.
04:52On Monday, January 13,
04:55My Ilonggo Girl.
