During the press conference for her new teleserye Precious Hearts Romances presents Impostor, Maja Salvador dealt with the rumors that claimed that she is an alcoholic. Maja could not believe that she would be mistaken for a drunkard given that she doesn’t like going to clubs and drinking liquor. “Hindi ako umiinom. Hindi ako lasenggera. Paano mangyayari ‘yun e hindi naman ako nagba-bar. Ayaw na ayaw kong pumupunta sa mga bar kasi naiingayan ako. Ang labo. Tsaka marami namang nakakakilala sa akin na hindi talaga ako umiinom. Hindi rin ako gumigimik. Pinakagimik ko videoke, ngayon nakakasama ko sina Sam (Milby) tsaka sina Melai (Cantiveros).”
Maja insisted that people close to her can also prove that the negative write-ups about her are pure lies. “Sanay na ako sa mga ganyan at kilala ko naman ‘yung pagkatao ko. Kanina may na-email sa aking picture ko sa tabloid na lasenggera raw ako. Naging forum pa siya sa BBM (Blackberry Messaging). Natawa na lang ‘yung mga friends ko. Nung nag Boracay kasi kami 9 pm pa lang tulog na ako.”
Aside from supposedly being a drunkard, Maja is also accused of being a snob, especially to entertainment reporters. Although the young actress admitted that she finds it hard to memorize the names of all the people introduced to her, she tries very much to recall faces and greet reporters she would run into. “Hindi po totoo ‘yan. Nakakaalala naman ako ng mukha, kahit minsan mahirap tandaan ‘yung pangalan. Hindi naman ako nande-dedma ng kahit sinong press. Hindi ako ganun. Kahit hindi ko matandaan ‘yung mukha, basta makilala ko ‘yung mukha at nakasalubong ko, babatiin ko naman. Inaamin ko naman kung nakakalimot ako.”
Maja appealed to those fabricating bad stories about her to be more responsible because she feels for her mother who is being affected by nasty write-ups she would read on tabloids and online. “Sana kilalanin muna nila ‘yung pagkatao ko bago sila magsulat ng ganun. Nasasaktan din kasi ‘yung nanay ko sa kung ano mang nababasa niya tungkol sa akin. Kilala naman niya ako, pero masakit pa rin sa kanya na may lumalabas na ganung kwento tungkol sa akin. Kahit alam niyang hindi naman totoo masakit pa rin. Respetohan na lang. Kung hindi naman maganda at hindi sigurado huwag na sanang isulat.”
Although it may seem impossible that intrigues will permanently go away, Maja chooses to be at peace with knowing who she really is. “Mahirap talaga i-handle na maging okay ka sa lahat ng tao. May kanya kanya silang opinyon, comment tungkol sa nakikita nila sa ‘yo. Pero ako nagpapakatotoo na lang ako. Bahala na kayong mag-judge kung ano ang tingin niyo sa akin. Kung plastic, umaarte, nagpapaka-artista ba ang dating ako, kayo na ang bahala. Tanungin niyo na lang ‘yung mga taong lagi kong nakakasama kung sino ba talaga ako.”
Catch Maja with Sam Milby in Precious Hearts Romances presents Impostor premiering May 17 on ABS-CBN Hapontastic.
