According to the Kapuso actress, she considers the contract signing as an excellent gift.
"Isang magandang birthday gift sa akin 'to ng GMA na siyempre pipirma ako ngayon dito sa kanila. Dito na ako nag-dalaga, simula pagkabata ko, andito na ako and baka dito na din ako tumanda so I'm really happy talaga. Basta kung kailangan nila ako at tuloy-tuloy lang [ang projects], I'm really happy to be Kapuso," she said.
Yasmien was also asked about the reason why she remains proud to be Kapuso.
"Bakit ako nananatiling proud to be Kapuso? Kasi sa pagmamahal na binibigay nila sa akin. Hindi trabaho 'yung nafi-feel mo kung hindi family with Artist Center and GMA. Pinapa-feel nila sa akin na it's my home," answered Yasmien.
Despite being in showbiz for more than a decade, she admits that she wants to portray more inspirational roles.
"Marami pa akong gustong maging roles and projects like gusto ko maging bakla, tomboy, babae, lalaki, lahat (laughs)! Basta kung ano 'yung mga normal na mamamayan na nakaka-touch ng buhay ng mga tao, kunwari 'yung certain person na 'yon, may mako-contribute ang story niya para mas ma-inspire 'yung mga viewers e 'di 'yun 'yung magiging dream role ko."
Lastly, Yasmien shares her birthday wish.
"Sa totoo lang, ang dami-daming nangyari sa buhay ko na parang wala na akong ma-wish Maganda ang ratings ng show namin, masaya ako ngayon, 'yung contract signing ko natupad at 'yung family ko happy. Siguro 'yung wish ko na lang is good health and safety sa lahat."
Congratulations and happy birthday, Kapuso!
