Sanya Lopez and Shuvee Etrata star in this new film
Kapuso actresses Sanya Lopez and Shuvee Etrata shared their thoughts on competition between women.
GMA Pictures’ upcoming thriller “Red Crown” features Sanya and Shuvee as beauty queen aspirants, with a star-studded cast including Michelle Marquez Dee, Ahtisa Manalo, Herlene Budol, MJ Lastimosa, Gazini Ganados, Ara Arida, Ashley Ortega, Ruffa Gutierrez, Bianca Manalo, Michael De Mesa, Epy Quizon, Vince Maristela, Roxie Smith, Christian Singson, Jay Ortega, Tim Yap, Pinky Tobiano, Cat Arambulo, and Anna Magkawas.
In a recent interview, based on the article in The Philippine Star, Sanya and Shuvee, as well as Faith Da Silva and Ashley Ortega, shared their thoughts on fierce competition that could take place between women, stressing that it does not have to mean tearing one another down.
For Faith, one should just focus on personal journey and not compare achievements with others. ‘Yung healthy competition, dapat hindi ka nagko-compare sa ibang tao. The success of other people doesn’t take away your own,” she shared.
Ashley highlighted that competition should be viewed as an opportunity for personal growth and improvement. “When I have a strong competitor, I actually challenge myself to become better,” she stressed, adding that if there is comparison or jealousy, for her, she already lost.
Shuvee acknowledged the fact that women are often pitted against one another. “Uso ’yon ngayon. They pit women against each other. But I believe the only competition that is allowed for women is healthy competition,” she shared.
The former Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition housemate also said that she does not see other women as competitors because she stressed that there is a chance for everyone to be successful.
Sanya Lopez emphasized the importance of maintaining respect and kindness even though women are in a competitive environment. “You can be competitive even if you’re in a competition. But you’re still respectful. You’re still kind. You have a good heart,” she stressed.
