At the age of sixteen years old, Klea Pineda has made a major dream come true when she won the Ultimate Female Survivor title of StarStruck season 6.
For over a year now, she has enjoyed the life that she only used to hope for – sharing her skillfulness in music and expressing herself through acting.
One of the most rewarding moments is when she gets to see the warm reception of the public.
“Madami akong na-meet na mga fans pagkalabas ko ng backstage [sa mall shows]. Naririnig ko 'yung hiyawan nila [at tinatawag nila ako]. Masarap sa feeling,” she shared.
She also considers herself privileged because she’s now friends with people whom she’s only used to seeing on-screen.
“Sa Encantadia, kapag off cam, pupunta ko sa room [ng ibang] cast tapos makikibonding ako sa kanila, usap-usap kami. Masaya kasi nakaka-close ko 'yung ibang mga artist na dati napapanood ko lang sila sa TV,” she added.
Though the young Kapuso actress acknowledges that she still has a lot to learn, she has set big dreams for herself.
“[In ten years], may movie na ‘ko. Kasali na ‘ko sa MMFF, mga ganun. Nanonood kasi ako ng MMFF [films]. Sabi ko sa mama ko, ‘Magkaka-movie na rin ako. Dapat nand'yan ako.’ Hindi talaga puwedeng hindi. Kailangan ma-reach ko 'yung goal na 'yun. Saka [sana by that time] nag-te-training na ‘ko para sa beauty pageant,” she declared.
