Amanda Page reveals why she quit showbiz
MANILA, Philippines — Popular '90s actress Amanda Page revealed why she left showbiz despite her popularity.
In her interview with Boy Abunda, the host asked Amanda what was the most painful and most intense intrigue that she experienced in showbiz.
Amanda said that she was involved in a sex video scandal that made her quit showbiz in 2001.
“Allegedly, I was in a sex video. I think that one was the most painful because I think because it almost as if like, schadenfreude people want to believe the worst about someone,” she said.

“And so, I felt like I wasn’t even given an opportunity really because it’s always like whatever’s negative out there is what people will always believe,” she added.
She also said that she never saw herself getting old in the showbiz industry.
"Feeling ko when I was in showbiz, that was never going to be my endgame. I always had a different endgame. The endgame was that I was not going to grow old in showbiz,” she said.
Amanda also thanked three individuals who she believes gave her her big break.
“First, obviously, Boss Vic (del Rosario) of Viva Films because he gave me my first break. Second, I would have to say Maribeth Bichara because she’s been my mentor for so long, and I got to do what I love because of her — and actually have fun doing it,” she said.
“Third, I would have to say maybe Fernando Poe Jr. I think I really enjoyed the time I had working with him, and the break I got from… you know, just being able to work with him,” she added. — Video from GMA Network YouTube channel
