Shuvee Etrata: Celebrities also hit by oil crisis

MANILA, Philippines — Kapuso actress Shuvee Etrata said that even celebrities are affected by the oil crisis due to the war in the Middle East. 

Shuvee was asked during the grand media conference of the upcoming horror movie “Huwag Kang Titingin” produced by GMA Pictures and Mentorque Productions.

“Oh, my gosh, yes. I feel like… apektado naman po ako, pero hindi po ako 'yung pinakanaapektuhan ngayon. I feel for those who really make this as their job. Kaya nasabi ko kanina sa interview, marami po… ako at least po, nababayaran ko 'yung mga gasolina kasi marami naman pong dumadating na blessings," she said. 

“Pero paano naman 'yung mga driver, 'yung mga tsuper natin, 'yung mga driver ng tricycle, 'yung mga ganun po na kakarampot lang 'yung nakukuha nilang pera sa pagda-drive. Tapos mas tumaas pa. Parang wala na po, negative na po ang nakukuha nila," she added. 

Shuvee said that she is still hopeful that everything will be alright in the future. 

“So doon po akong parang nalulungkot, pero, at the same time, hopeful na sana maging okay ang lahat para mas mapabuti 'yung hanapbuhay ng lahat,” she said. 

She also shared tips to save gas. 

“Huwag gumala kung hindi naman kailangan. Never naman po talaga ako gumala, ang ano naman sa akin, 'yung trabaho. Alangan namang hindi ako pumunta sa trabaho, parang kailangan ko talaga puntahan 'yung mga commitments ko," Shuvee said.

“So wala, haharapin ko po talaga siya. 'Yung tipid kasi na 'yun, siguro, huwag na masyadong mag-stay sa sasakyan nang matagal. Kung naka-park, akyat na agad. Or minsan kapag long drive, puwedeng i-open na lang natin ang window. Off 'yung aircon para simoy ng hangin na lang, ganu’n. Pero mahirap. Mahirap talaga,” she added.
