Kapamilya actress Julia Montes expressed her support to increase the salaries of Filipinos amid the increasing prices of commodities.
Julia sat down for an interview with DJ Chacha which start out with laughter until the conversation pivoted to the Philippine economy.
“Ang napapansin ko kasi, tumataas ang bilihin, lahat. Pero ang sweldo, hindi tumataas. So sana, kung may tumataas man sa Pilipinas, tumataas din sana yung salary kasi hindi nababalanse,” Julia said.
The actress pointed out that the price of rice continues to increase but salaries don’t, “Taas ‘to nang taas, so parang unfair din para sa mamamayan.”
DJ Chacha and Julia then began talking about “nepo babies,” the term for children of rich individuals who flaunt their wealth in public.
“Nalulungkot din ako. Kung ako nga iniisip ko na ‘yung mga gastusin, paano pa ‘yung ibang tao?” Julia said.
She reiterated how difficult it was to get by, but still quipping a little envy whenever she sees someone living lavishly.
“Pag nakakakita ka ng sobra ring lavish lifestyle, syempre napapaano ka rin na.Talaga ba? Hashtag, sana all,” Julia ended.
