Pagkatapos ng kontrobersiyang idinulot ng vlog ni Liza Soberano, na lumabas sa YouTube noong February 26, 2023, nagpasalamat at humingi ng paumanhin ang aktres sa mga tao at sa ABS-CBN na naging malaking bahagi ng kanyang successful showbiz career.
Ipinahatid ito ni Liza sa pamamagitan ng full interview niya kay Boy Abunda na lumabas vlog ng veteran talk show host sa YouTube, ang The Interviewer.
Nauna nang naipalabas ang ilang bahagi ng panayam ni Boy kay Liza sa afternoon showbiz talk show na Fast Talk with Boy Abunda noong March 10 at March 13.

Sa bandang dulo ng full interview ni Boy, hiningan niya si Liza ng "sorry" at "thank you" message sa mga taong malapit sa kanya noon at ngayon.
Una na rito ang nobyo niyang si Enrique Gil.
Mensahe ni Liza para kay Enrique: “I feel like I should say sorry for not being as understanding or being able to see his struggles because I was struggling at the same time, too.
“But I wanna say thank you because he was very understanding of the whole situation, til now he supports me with everything that I do.
"And he’s always been, you know, good friend to me, a good boyfriend.
"And, you know, everything that I have, lahat ng success ko, he was the person that I got to share in that way. And it was a good experience.”
OGIE DIAZ
Maiksi ngunit madamdamin naman ang mensahe ni Liza sa kanyang dating manager na si Ogie Diaz.
Ito ay matapos nilang magpalitan ng pahayag tungkol sa career ni Liza nang nasa pangangalaga pa ito ni Ogie, hanggang sa isyu tungkol sa komisyon ni Ogie bilang talent manager.
Ayon sa aktres: "I would say sorry if I hurt his feelings through my vlog, and I would say thank you for everything that I have, everything that I know, and everything that I’ve achieved through his help.”
Nag-ugat ang samaan ng loob ng dalawa sa vlog ni Liza noong February 26, 2023 kung saan sinabi niyang kapalit ng kanyang tinatamasang kasikatan ay hinayaan niya ang ibang tao na magdesisyon para sa kanyang showbiz career sa loob ng labintatlong taon.
Ito raw ang mismong dahilan kung bakit pumirma siya sa management ni James Reid, ang Careless Music, na sa unang pagkakataon ay tinanong daw siya kung ano ang gusto niyang mangyari sa kanyang career.
Si Liza ay dating nasa pangangalaga ng Star Magic, ang talent management arm ng ABS-CBN, at co-manager si Ogie. Pero lumabas na mas malaki ang porsiyentong nakukuha ni Ogie (30%) kumpara sa Star Magic (10%).

Sa panayam ni Liza na umere sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, inamin ng aktres na kulang sa konteksto ang mga binitiwan niyang salita sa kanyang vlog kung kaya’t na-misinterpret ito ng iba, hanggang sa akusahan siyang "ingrata" at "walang utang na loob" sa ABS-CBN, sa dati niyang manager na si Ogie, at mga katrabaho na naging daan para sumikat siya nang husto.
Ipinaliwanag din ni Liza na hindi niya intensiyong balewalain ang mga taong tumulong sa kanya para magkaroon ng magandang buhay.
Pero hindi raw babawiin ng aktres ang mga tinuran niya sa vlog dahil siya ay "nag-enumerate" lamang ng "facts" sa pinagdaanan niya sa kanyang showbiz career.

ABS-CBN
May mensahe rin si Liza sa dati niyang home network, ang ABS-CBN.
Halos 13 taon si Liza sa Kapamilya network kung saan niya natamo ang tinatamasang kasikatan ngayon.
Ayon sa kanya, walang “Liza Soberano” kung wala ang ABS-CBN.
Saad ni Liza: “ABS-CBN, you know, ABS-CBN was always my second home. I have devoted so many years to them.
“I’m sorry again also to them if there were people that I’ve worked closely with that were offended by some of the things that I said in my vlog, that wasn’t the intention, but then also I’m thankful to them.
“And they know this, I’m thankful for them for taking a risk on me when I was a nobody, for investing in me, developing me, creating Liza Soberano.
“And thank you also for being so understanding when I decided to no longer renew with them.”
TITA JONI
Humingi rin ng paumanhin si Liza sa kanyang tiyahin na si Joni Lyn Castillo o Tita Joni dahil nakaladkad ito sa isyu.
Si Joni ang tumatayong road manager at personal assistant niya noon.
Inamin ni Liza na nagkaroon din sila ng kaunting hindi pagkakaintindihan noon.
Lahad ni Liza, "Tita Joni and I, honestly, we had a bit of a falling out for the past two years due to miscommunication also.
"And I’m sorry the lack of communication from my end caused her any pain and also if she feels like she isn’t part of my new journey anymore, and I didn’t get really to explain to her.
"But I wanna say thank you because, actually, all of these is because of her. She’s actually the first person that believed in me.
"If not for her, I would not have met Tito Ogie, if not for her I would not met ABS, if not for her I would have not met Quen.
"And so, thank you.
"She is like my second mom and I’m so grateful for her for taking care of me for all these years."
Noong March 14, sa pamamagitan ng isang komento sa Instagram, nagpaliwanag si Joni at binigyang diin na hindi siya mukhang pera matapos lumabas na 20 percent ang kanyang komisyon mula sa mga kinita ng pamangkin.
Sinabi rin niyang mahal niya si Liza at malaki ang respeto niya kay Ogie.
Bahagi ng kanyang pahayag: "Mahal ko po ang aking pamangkin ginagalang ko po si Ogie. Para sa akin na binigyan lang ng ganyang klaseng kulay, kulay itim dahil po sa mga napakakagaling kumuda kaya ang gulo na po.”

FANS, HERSELF
Humingi rin ng dispensa si Liza sa kanyang mga tagahanga na nadismaya sa kanyang rebelasyon at desisyon.
Saad niya, “Sorry if they’re disappointed in the decision I made.
"And also, thank you for understanding, thank you for supporting me throughout the years.
"Thank you for the journey cause none of my success wouldn’t have happened if they didn’t support me and believed in me.”
Mensahe naman ni Liza sa kanyang sarili: “Thank you for being strong despite everything that you went through.
"Thank you for being a good person, for always wanting to grow and push yourself to be better professionally and personally.
"And just thank you for not giving up on yourself."
