When a celebrity attains stardom status, expect criticisms on the change of character to be hurled at these celebrities. From quiet and unassuming persons, some celebrities transform into snobbish and indifferent personalities. Thus, they invite criticisms and several bad write-ups on their change of attitude. Rare are celebrities who have not allowed themselves to be affected by the fame, fortune, and pressure. Luckily, there seems to be a handful among the emerging stars who have remained humble.

Given the technology nowadays as well as aggressive marketing of local networks abroad, it is no longer surprising that Filipinos overseas will not recognize celebrities. Thus, celebrities have their fans in every corner of the world and remaining incognito becomes difficult. Some celebrities disguise themselves to avoid being noticed. Others put up an indifferent stance, and say that they are on private time and should not be disturbed by fans. In other words, some celebrities will do anything to keep fans far from them when they are on vacation or on location outside of the country.

By contrast, Beautiful Talent (BT) has broken all stereotypes that have been embodied by the talents of her network who are rude to fans abroad. When BT and her group were dining in a small restaurant, people noticed her, but did not bother her because they felt they might be disturbing BT. When the server brought something to their table, BT was first to say, “Thank you.” Some diners who were coyly observing could not believe that a celebrity could be so nice.

However, some fans could not stop themselves from approaching BT. Filipinos abroad are often elated whenever they see Filipino celebrities and the presence of such stars relieves feelings of homesickness. Instead of telling the fans to go away, BT accommodated every request for a photograph with a sincere smile. She talked to the fans and understood that they were happy to see her. She wished them a nice day and they were impressed at the politeness of BT.

Then, a young chubby dark-skinned girl with a pug nose approached BT. The girl said that she wanted to be as beautiful as BT. BT hugged the girl. Then, BT told her that she does not have to be mestiza to look beautiful and that she could still be attractive. Further, BT told her that beauty was not all about outside appearances, as it’s all about personality, intelligence, and kindness that do not fade away. The girl cried as BT told her that she has just to be herself.

Incidentally, rumors have it that BT shunned any plans for a lavish celebration for a special event in her life. She even insisted on being allowed to do her charity work without any network coverage. Of course, the network could not do anything, but adhere. Even though she is already a prized talent, BT continues to remain humble and focused on her work. Other than her fresh and unaltered looks, BT possesses commendable character. If only some of her contemporaries were like her in terms of character.

“True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.” - C.S. Lewis
