Inspiration
‘
Multi-awarded actress Maja Salvador said being part of this year’s inductees in the Eastwood version of the Walk of Fame is an experience worth telling colleagues and invoking inspiration.
‘
“‘Yung mga ganitong bagay mas nakaka-inspire pa lalo,” she said.
‘
“Bukod sa pagiging artista, we have our own management now, so nashi-share mo ‘yung mga experiences mo with your artists,” added Salvador, who established her own talent agency Crown Artist Management.

[Translation: This kind of thing gives inspiration…Aside from being an artist, we have our own management now where we can share our experiences with fellow artists.]
