In an interview, she shares her aversion for anything digital when it comes to reading.

“Lahat naka-iPad at electronics. So, drop everything and read. And then, back to basics tayo na to appreciate and to educate through using books.

“Magsimula tayo na maging hobby siya,” she adds.

Patricia wants to publish her own children's book and dreams of building her own Pre-School someday. She currently stars in Inagaw na Bituin as Queenie Belardo.
