Kapuso actress Katrina Halili recently reflected on her career journey and the invaluable support she received from GMA Network after a personal controversy several years ago.

In an interview on ‘Updated with Nelson Canlas’, Halili expressed gratitude to GMA Network for standing by her side and helping her rebuild her career during one of the most challenging times in her life.

Halili admitted that the scandal marked a difficult chapter, but she is grateful that she managed to overcome it and move on. “Masaya ako dahil takita ako. Strong, ito, samba and wala akong (pakialam) kung ano sasabihin niyo sa akin, di ba? Parang go forward ako. Tinaggap ko yung geguja ko and kinokorek ko.”

She also acknowledged her own mistakes during that period and emphasized the importance of self-forgiveness. “For me kasi, ‘yung sarilyi, once na takimo mo sa sarili mo nagkamali ka, patawarin mo yung sarili mo, sorry ka kay God, basta na-recognize mo na may mali ka, wala ka ng pakialam dapat sa mga tao eh , kasi wala kang dapat i-prove sa kanila kasi lahat naman tayo nagkakamali,” she shared.

Halili revealed that at the height of the controversy, she felt her career was “dead” and even considered leaving GMA Network to avoid public criticism.

However, the network encouraged her to stay and cast her in Rosalinda, helping her focus on her career rather than the issue. “So, I’m afraid about GMA, but I’m brand new. Ayaw nila akong mag-dwell doon is a problem, ma-focus doon, kailangan daw maiba daw ang tebina ko. So, gifpa pa rin nila ako ng work, iyon’ yung Rosalinda,” she said.

Since then, Halili’s career has continued to flourish with roles in projects such as “Black Rider” and the upcoming series “Mommy Dearest.” Reflecting on the trip, she expressed appreciation for GMA Network’s trust. “Thankful ako na kahit gano’n ‘yung nangyari, nagtiwala pa din kayo. And masaya ako na ‘yung tilawa niyo noong 2009 hanggang ngayon nabuhay ko pa. ‘Du ba? I mean Hindi naman ako nawala. Okay pa din ako”, she concluded.
