How do you handle criticisms?
Matet de Leon’s interview with Boy Abunda last April 4, inadvertently taught the viewers two lessons on how to shut down a nasty comment, especially if it’s about your physical appearance.
In the show’s “Fast Talk” segment, the Kapamilya host asked, “True or false: Insecure si Matet de Leon sa kanyang noo.”
Matet responded with a laugh: “False.”
On Instagram, the show posted a video elaborating the actress’ answer.
Lesson #1: If you do not want to get hurt, then don’t believe what other people say.
“Sabi ko, ‘Hindi malaki noo ko. Huwag mong ipilit sa akin. HIndi po malaki ang noo ko.'”
Boy asked, “Talagang naniniwala ka na hindi malaki ang noo mo?”
Matet said in disbelief, “Opo. Ewan ko nga kung saan nanggagaling yun. Diyusko, saan nila nakuha? Hindi naman. Malaki ba? Alam ko pong maganda ako.”
Lesson #2: If people insist, be ready with your retort.
With Matet’s signature taray, she said, “Dun sa mga, I’m sorry, dun sa mga nanunukso sa akin na, ‘Ay ang laki naman ng noo mo, hindi bale nang ganito yung noo ko pero ganito yung mukha ko, maganda, kesa meron ako nung noo mo ‘tapos yung mukha mo?”
