ABS-CBN referred to Andrea Brillantes as its “Next Important Star,” given the substantial and substantial projects consistently entrusted to her. The question arises: Does this place pressure on her?
“Honestly, I don’t feel any pressure at all. I’m more focused on my work. I’m just enjoying and loving it,” Andrea asserts.
The young actress does not place much emphasis on the title. “I don’t really see myself that way, as the next big star. Of course, it’s nice to dream about it, especially if it really happens. But every time I have a project, I treat it as a blessing for me and my family”
As a breadwinner, Andrea views her job as her source of income. Therefore, she wants to refine her skills further and excel.
“If I don’t become the next big star, it’s not a significant concern for me. I believe that the Lord has other plans for me,” she explains.
For Andrea, what matters more is savoring her work and the camaraderie of her friends. “I’ve never been captivated by the idea that I must be the next big star. I simply aim to enhance my craft and continue working alongside my friends,” she affirms.

On settling down, Paul doesn’t see it happening anytime soon. Both he and Mikee are focused on their careers, and they prioritize their professional aspirations.
