PART 2: Anji Salvacion on PEP Spotlight, kunsaan naibahagi ng young singer-actress ang tunay na nilalaman o mga mensahe ng ilan sa mga awitin niya sa kanyang bagong EP na "Grit."

Sabi ng 21-year-old Siargao born Kapamilya artist, layunin daw niyang i-empower ang mga makikinig sa kanyang mga awitin. Yun kasi ang mensahe na gusto talaga niyang iparating hindi lang sa kanyang fans, kundi sa lahat ng tao, regardless ng gender, race, or age.

Bilang patunay sa gusto niyang iparating sa lahat, nai-connect tuloy rito ang nangyari sa kanya kamakailan kunsaan naging tampulan siya ng pamumuna mula sa bashers.

Matatandaang pinagpiyestahan ng mga pinatasero't pintasera ang kanyang acting performance sa Amazon Prime Video series na Linlang.

Pero ipinakita ni Anji na sa kabila ng mga puna, hindi siya apektado ng mga ito.

Panoorin ang kanyang mensahe sa mga gustong saktan ang kanyang damdamin sa pamamagitan ng pamimintas.

00:00 I will be rich, I will be able to help, I will be able to inspire, and I will be able to do wawagi.
00:08 What track in your album resonates with you the most?
00:28 It's hard to say because every song resonates with me.
00:33 Maybe the one thing that I wanted to relate to is "You Didn't".
00:43 At the end of the day, I am not going to please everyone.
00:48 I wasn't born to please everyone.
00:50 This song is such a statement itself.
00:54 Even the title is a statement itself.
00:57 This song became my inspiration.
01:02 Instead of a clapback, everybody thinks it's a clapback but it's not.
01:06 For me, it's more of a wanting to inspire little children out there.
01:13 Especially women, not just women but all genders out there.
01:20 You know what? In life, we have to be strong.
01:26 We shouldn't let everyone say what you are.
01:32 We shouldn't standardize people.
01:38 I remember people who love to standardize.
01:44 The stereotyping ruins the society for me.
01:51 It ruins the society so much.
01:53 I wanted to break that stereotyping.
01:57 It's because each and everyone of us is capable of doing something great,
02:01 doing something amazing and inspiring everyone.
02:04 That's why I chose "Grit" and that's why I named it "Grit".
02:08 That's why I chose "You Didn't".
02:11 Correct. More than people think it's a clapback.
02:17 You should also tell the public that not only you and I are experiencing this,
02:24 we are all experiencing this.
02:26 You are not alone.
02:28 Don't act as if you don't experience it.
02:31 Each and everyone of us are humans.
02:33 At the end of the day, we feel, we get hurt and then we stand up.
02:37 We don't just give up.
02:39 Correct.
02:40 And your objective is to empower youth, women and all people who are going through the same thing.
02:50 What is the legend or legacy that you want to leave in the music industry?
02:55 If someone says Angie Salvation, this is what she will leave.
02:59 I want to remember people as Angie Salvation, the conveyor.
03:04 You know that "the conveyor".
03:07 You can't.
03:08 You know, there's no conveyor belt.
03:10 So why Angie the conveyor?
03:14 It's because in music, you want to convey a message.
03:18 And each and every song has a story.
03:21 And I want to convey the story, the lessons and the learnings of the songs.
03:27 So I want it to be remembered as that way.
03:29 And you know, it's really nice to inspire.
03:33 Who doesn't want to inspire anybody?
03:38 So that's why I choose the conveyor.
03:41 Angie Salvation, the conveyor.
03:43 Remember that.
03:45 Correct.
03:46 Because before Angie Salvation, when you were just starting, you were inspired by people who were already with you.
03:53 And you want to be that person for the next ones.
03:56 Correct.
03:57 And you've collaborated with a lot of people before.
04:01 But who else do you think will collaborate with you?
04:06 Wow.
04:07 I'm ambitious.
04:08 I want to collaborate with a global artist.
04:10 Who is that?
04:11 But here in the Philippines, I would really, really love to collaborate with Ati Moira, Ben & Ben.
04:18 I love Ben & Ben so much.
04:20 I'm pan-girling.
04:23 And when I say globally, well, who doesn't want to do a collaboration with Ariana Grande?
04:32 Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, our Beyoncé, our girl, our queen.
04:39 We love you.
04:40 Manifest that.
04:42 In Jesus' name.
04:43 Amen.
04:44 And I have a favorite artist.
04:46 I'll just share.
04:47 Sorry, I'm stammering.
04:48 I have a favorite artist.
04:52 And I hope, she's so underrated.
04:54 And I really, really love her lyrical, her writing and stuff.
04:58 It's Alicia Cara.
04:59 You guys should listen to her.
05:01 It's so nice.
05:02 And of course, listen to Grit.
05:03 And Ange, since we've been talking about your album, Grit, let's talk about your other songs.
05:13 Let's start with "Happy."
05:15 The song "Happy" is about a girl who learns to be happy with herself.
05:20 Yes.
05:21 For me, when I'm asked what I think of myself, it's more on accepting oneself.
05:28 That you're happy for who you are because in the first place, we are imperfect.
05:33 But we're just being perfectly us.
05:35 Being perfectly us.
05:37 We're no pretends.
05:39 You're just you.
05:40 And you're perfect just the way you are.
05:42 And if you think that people don't like you because of who you are, then it's fine.
05:46 If people like you for who you are, then it's great.
05:49 And it doesn't matter because at the end of the day, you're you.
05:53 Correct.
05:54 You're you.
05:55 No pretends.
05:56 You're not trying to be someone else.
05:59 And you're not lying about who you are.
06:02 You're not losing yourself.
06:03 In your core.
06:04 Correct.
06:05 And can you say, Ange, that now you're at your happiest?
06:09 Yes.
06:10 Of course, I am at my happiest.
06:12 I never felt this happy because before, it was my lowest.
06:16 And then when I went to Siargao, there's a lot of learnings.
06:21 When I got in, I was about to leave, I said my goodbyes to my family.
06:27 And when I was just about to get on the plane, I realized that,
06:36 "Oh, this is the way of God to make us all humble."
06:42 You think that you got it all, but you don't.
06:46 And it's an eye-opener that, "Oh, wow."
06:51 I realized that I'm also a people pleaser.
06:54 So I realized that I should be contented for who I am,
06:58 not to push myself or force myself for anybody to like me.
07:03 And if they like me, then it's fine.
07:05 And if they don't, it's fine.
07:07 Just be you.
07:08 Just be you.
07:09 Let's go back to "You didn't."
07:11 There's a lyric there that says, "You thought you were hurt, but you just thought."
07:14 "You just thought."
07:15 So, how many people have you hurt, but you're strong enough to be an unbothered queen that you are?
07:21 How many?
07:22 What about today?
07:23 I'm here.
07:24 I'm here.
07:26 I'm still standing, still fighting.
07:28 And yeah.
07:29 Correct.
07:30 After what happened.
07:31 Next, let's talk about this masterpiece.
07:34 You have a lyric here that says, "Working on myself till I am a masterpiece."
07:39 It's about appreciating yourself.
07:41 Yeah, appreciating yourself.
07:43 It's also about being happy, but you're embracing more of your flaws.
07:48 "Working on myself till I'm a masterpiece."
07:51 Because, you know, opinions of others doesn't matter at all.
07:57 You don't give yourself unnecessary stress and unnecessary problems in order for you to build yourself up.
08:04 You need to focus on you.
08:06 And in order for you to radiate positivity, love, compassion, and you know, passion itself,
08:14 you have to build yourself up.
08:16 Correct.
08:17 Because at the end of the day, right?
08:19 No matter what other people say, you're the one who will live for yourself.
08:23 Yes, and you're the one who will say, "No, I'm here, and this is me."
08:29 "Nobody can get to tell me who I am."
08:32 But have you reached a point where you feel like you don't appreciate yourself?
08:37 How did you overcome that?
08:39 I've reached a point, yes, there's also that.
08:42 Because before, actually, when I was young, I didn't have any insecurities.
08:47 I was very active.
08:49 You know, I was like a naughty kid.
08:53 I was like that before.
08:55 You were just happy, right?
08:56 I was just happy. I was just happy for who I am.
08:58 Especially when I was growing up, because you know, the society, the stereotyping and stuff make you feel insecure.
09:05 And I hate that the most.
09:07 So it starts from that, but then later on, through the help of prayer, and through the help of my family,
09:15 the people who know me best, helped me to build who I am right now.
09:21 And now you're getting your power back.
09:23 I am getting my power back, and nobody's gonna get that ever again away from me.
09:28 Correct. And with that, Angie, here at Pep.th, we're manifesting with our celebrity guests.
09:35 And now, just hit this, 10 years from now, Angie.
09:39 10 years from now, I'll be rich.
09:42 That specific.
09:44 I'll be rich, I'll be very, very helpful, I'll be very inspiring, and I'll be a "wawagi."
09:52 I'll be a "wawagi."
09:54 There. Perfect.
09:57 Once again, Angie, let's invite our Pepsters to your latest album, "Grit."
