Kapamilya young actress Erich Gonzales continues to be hounded by rumors about having an "attitude problem." A recent incident was said to have happened during her appearance on the morning talk show of KC Concepcion, Simply KC.

As usual, Erich just shrugged off talk.

"Walang ganung problema. Nakakagulat naman ang mga balitang ganyan," she said in an interview during the press launch of her new endorsement, Silka, held yesterday, June 15, at 9501 restaurant, ABS-CBN compound in Quezon City.

Until now, the 19-year-old actress is clueless about how and where this negative reports about her came. 

"Hindi ko po alam kung bakit may mga ganyan,"  she said.  "Hindi ko nga po alam kung saan nanggagaling ang mga ganyang balita.  Basta ako po, nagtratrabaho, gusto ko smooth lahat, and 'yong mga katrabaho ko po walang problema."

Erich doesn't care to find out the source of such rumors.  She just lets  her detractors be. "Masasabi ko lang po, basta ako wala akong tinatapakan na ibang tao, wala akong ginagawang masama, and wala po akong kaaway.  Ayun po, lahat naman po tayo may kanya-kanyang opinyon at nirerespeto ko ang sinasabi nila."

While the former Katorse actress admits that she gets affected, Erich still believe that the public will always have opinions.

She said, "But at the end of the day, alam ko naman po 'yong totoo, ng mga taong nagma-matter sa akin.  Kagaya ng sinabi ko, hindi naman po talaga maiiwasan ang kanya-kanyang opinyon."

Erich also said that even before she joined show business, she already prepared herself for possible intrigues about her.

The 2005 Star Circle Teen Quest grand questor recalled, "Before pa ako pumasok ng showbiz, talagang ni-ready ko na ang sarili ko, na ang intriga talagang part of showbiz talaga.  Basta I always ask God for guidance na makayanan ko ang lahat ng ito talaga.  Ang hirap pero since ito naman ang ginusto ko, i-take ko na lang lahat ng consequences."

WORKING WITH MORE EXPERIENCED ACTORS.  Erich enjoys working with several known actors in the industry in her upcoming teleserye Magkaribal—Gretchen Barretto, Bea Alonzo, Derek Ramsay and Angel Aquino.

The ABS-CBN star, who had been the lead actress in previous TV series like Katorse and Tanging Yaman, said she did not mind playing secondary character in this fashion-drama series.

"It's not a big deal for me," said Erich.  "I mean, si Ms. Gretchen naman (ang lead star) and si Bea.  I know marami akong matutunan from them and mas nauna naman talaga sila.  I guess this is a chance rin na makihalo sa kanila."

With regard to Gretchen, popularly known in showbiz as La Greta, Erich said she did not feel intimidated while working with her.  In fact, her experience with her on the set of Magkaribal was exactly the opposite.

Erich related, "Noong una, iniisip ko, 'Paano ba 'to?  Sila Ms. Greta 'yan.'  Pero to be honest talaga, she's really nice.  She has great heart talaga and she's really generous.  Ang saya niyang kausap."
