Barugi ang matuod---Agot

CEBU, Philippines - Sa 2012, mag-20 years na si Agot Isidro sa showbiz, busa maayo na kaayo siyang mutunga sa iyang pribado ug publiko nga kinabuhi,

“It’s a separate life from work and I’d rather keep it that way eh,” pasabot niya. “Kasi kung ini-involve mo ‘yung personal life mo with your profession or with your career, parang pati sa pag-uwi mo sa bahay ‘yun ang pinag-uusapan n’yo, so parang never ending.

Suma pa niya, ang iyang trabaho dili maoy iyang kinabuhi, kundili tipik lamang kini sa iyang kinabuhi, busa kinahanglan gyud matud pa nga managlahi ang pribado ug publiko nga kinabuhi.

 “At least iba-iba ang pinag-uusapan, hindi lang panay trabaho, kasi this business can really be cruel, crazy. Siyempe gusto ko rin ng peace pagdating sa bahay.”

Tambag ni Agot ngadto sa mga batan-ong artista, karong panahona nga labihan na ang mga eskandalo ug kontrobersiya sa showbiz: “As long as you know yourself and as long as your principles are intact, your values are intact—‘yung values and principles subjective ‘yan ‘di ba—so as long as you stick by it, stand by it, I think ‘di ka naman matitibag. Basta buo sa loob mo at pinaninindigan mo, [para] sa akin no one can really break down your character, even your reputation. As long as firm ka d’on.”

Angay pud matud pa nga dili magpaapekto sa unsay isulti sa ubang mga tawo.

 “I know the truth, ‘di ba? ‘Yung sa akin, you can say all they want pero if there is no tinge of truth with it, basta alam ko malinis ang kunsensya ko, tama ‘yung tingin ko [na] ginawa ko, nanahimik naman ako, I did what I felt was right so they can say all they want.”
