1. When [Crazy Rich Asians] became the #1 movie in the ??, that Monday night (August 20) after reading it earned $35.5M in the 5 days since Aug 15, [I] was so stressed & anxious that my BP was at hypertensive crisis level. There was FEAR that if it did poorly here, [I’d] be the logical punching bag & laughingstock.
2. I firmly decided to shut up about [Crazy Rich Asians]… as previously stated, the movie shouldn’t become a referendum on the moviegoers’ feelings about me and/or my family. It wouldn’t be right to see what was so instrumental in helping me regain MY SELF WORTH suffer because of association w/ me. PRAYERS & SILENCE were my best options.
3. Then like a dream, friends started sending me pictures & videos of all seats taken cinemas, [I] read in messages the spontaneous cheers when Princess Intan walked in.
4. [I] reached out to Ms. Sionee Lagman, the marketing director of [Warner Bros Pictures] on Saturday to ask how the movie was doing?
5. [I] received this at 2:44 PM Monday: Sharing with you CRA’s [record-breaking] opening weekend box-office results as promised: CRA Op We box-office – P82.7M: Biggest Op We for a WB FIlm for 2018; Biggest All-Time Op We for a Foreign/English RomCom. Congratulations. She updated me just now- 7 day total is ₱110M.
6. Just THANK YOU, not because of illusions about my contribution-but because my cameo appearance in a historically significant, phenomenally successful #1 Hollywood movie championing INCLUSIVITY for all Asians elevated Filipinos- 1 of us was chosen to be the only ROYAL in the fantasy world of CRAZY RICH ASIANS.
7. After portraying an orphaned girl pushing a “kariton” in her 1st movie 28 years ago, capping that roller coaster ride of hits & misses to portray a Princess resplendent in her [real-life] family’s & democracy’s symbolic yellow- this girl was given her version of not just THE END but the magical HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
8. To all the Rachels, never allow the Eleanors to bully you. BE BRAVE because of your intelligence, personal achievements & your courage to LOVE.
