Ashley Ortega advises to keep on going during rough times

Kapuso star Ashley Ortega has an advice for those going through challenges in life.

In an Instagram post, the Hearts on Ice lead posted a video of herself dancing ballet which, she says, was the reason she overcame her anxiety and depression. She also admitted that the past few months have been “challenging and difficult for her, and knows how it feels to have a rough time."

However, she doesn't let that get her down.

“I decided to tell myself to keep going no matter how stuck you feel. No matter how bad things are right now. No matter how many days you've been crying,” she said.

She mentioned that her dance may look flawless and beautiful to anyone watching but people would never know how hard it is to dance in ballet shoes and how hard it is to make the next step.

Ashley, however, said that she'll “keep going and to keep shining” no matter how hopeless or depressed she feels.

“No matter how many days you've spent wishing things were different. I promised myself to keep going and to keep shining,” she said.

She also advised her followers to never stop learning as “life never stops teaching.”

“Laban mga besh,” she ended her post.

Ashley will star in GMA's newest sports series Hearts on Ice as a figure skater, a dream role for the actress. Before entering showbiz, Ashley was a competitive figure skater and have competed in other countries.

She also expressed how excited she is to work with her leading man Xian Lim, and fellow skaters Ina Feleo and Skye Chua.
