These hardships included the bullying they experienced in the industry. “May mga stories si Mama (her Lola Vicky) na sometimes we would get a little bullied and all that, pero never siyang pumatol. Ever. Never,” Bianca Umali shared.

She said that these kinds of experiences strengthened her and became her drive to reach her dreams in life. The actress recalled that her Lola Vicky would always say to her that her time would come.

Lola Vicky shared that when Bianca was still a newbie, during tapings, the actress would just sleep on the floor while other cast members were in bed. However, she said that it was just for a while because Bianca eventually got the opportunity she needed and she became well-known already.

Bianca shared that her grandmother would always catch her looking at other artists at that time, so she would hear from Lola Vicky that her time would also come.

The actress shared that at a young age, she learned a lot from her Lola Vicky. She realized that she had to work hard for the things she aimed to have.

When asked if she pities herself that she goes to tapings alone, Bianca Umali said that it was not pity at all but a thought of what could it be like if her father and mother were there and the difference their presence could bring.
