Staying True to Herself: A Journey to Self-Discovery
Faith da Silva’s path to success has been marked by her steadfast commitment to authenticity. In a candid discussion, she reflects on the challenges of maintaining her true self in an industry that often demands conformity. “I think, when I started becoming true to myself talaga, that’s when I figured out na ‘yung mga tao or ‘yung mga manonood, doon nila ako minahal” she shared. Despite initial struggles, Faith remained resolute in her belief that authenticity would ultimately lead to success.
Nurturing Mental Well-being: Finding Anchors Amidst the Storm
In the fast-paced world of show business, Faith recognizes the importance of maintaining mental well-being amidst career pressures. She emphasizes the significance of having a support system outside of the industry, citing friends as her anchor during challenging times. “Kailangan nasa piling ka ng mga tao who know who you are talaga– na hindi mamasamain ‘yung mga actions mo, ‘yung mga sinasabi mo” she explained. Through honesty, open communication, and self-reflection, Faith navigates the complexities of the entertainment industry while prioritizing her mental health.
Preparing for Iconic Roles: The Journey to Sang’gre
In 2005, GMA Network’s iconic fantasy series Encantadia captivated audiences, and now its highly anticipated spin-off, Sang’gre: Encantadia Chronicles, is set to enrapture viewers once again. As the air date for the series approaches, Faith’s portrayal of Sang’gre Flamarra, the keeper of the fire gem, “Brilyante ng Apoy,” showcases her unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. Drawing from her extensive experience and rigorous training, Faith’s preparation transcends physicality, delving deep into mental fortitude and spiritual grounding through daily meditation. With her burning passion fueling her every move, Faith embodies the incandescent essence of Sang’gre, as she once expressed, “sa lahat ng ginagawa ko, masama nga siya e, na hindi lang one hundred percent, kung kaya ko lang ibigay (ng) two hundred percent, ibibigay ko ng todo-todo.” Captivating audiences with her electrifying performance, Faith’s commitment to giving her all shines through in every moment on screen as the series prepares for its much-awaited debut.

Embracing her sexuality with confidence and grace, Faith dispels misconceptions and embraces her authentic self, inspiring others to do the same.
Essential Beauty Must-Haves: From Mascara to Sunscreen
