Trigger Warning: Mentions of abuse and violence.
MISTULANG binuksan ang mata ni Bela Padilla matapos gampanan ang karakter ni Nadia, isang biktima ng human trafficking sa tunay na buhay.
Ang naturang role ay bumandera sa recent episode ng Maalaala Mo Kaya (MMK) na pinamagatang “Sim Card.”
Sa isang emosyonal na Instagram post, inamin ng aktres na labis siyang naapektuhan sa pinagdaanan ni Nadia.
“I always thought I was capable, until I got to play Nadia. I’m not even at a fraction of how strong she is,” bungad niya.

Chika pa ni Bela, “4 days in her shoes and I saw myself change physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually…and I still couldn’t wrap my head around what she fully went through. Betrayal, pain, paranoia, all kinds of abuse, trauma, disgust, hunger, rage, delirium and everything in between that we hope our two episodes caught.”
Lubos din ang pasasalamat ni Bela sa MMK team at kay Charo Santos-Concio sa pagbibigay liwanag sa madilim na karanasan ni Nadia.
“May this story serve as a warning. May her hardship serve a purpose that makes you think twice before you take your next step but also remind you that you’re brave and strong,” caption ng aktres.
Pinuri rin ni Bela ang kanyang direktor na si Raz de la Torre at ang buong production team.
Sambit niya, “On set, I was among men 80% of the time. But I felt safe at all times. And I always knew there was a village of women waiting for me behind the scenes, ready to ask if I was ok.”
Sa huli, nagpaabot ng mensahe si Bela para kay Nadia: “I don’t know if you will ever see this, but thank you. Thank you for surviving. Thank you for sharing your story. May time and the love of your family and now everyone who sees you and your story, heal all the wounds that that place created.”
Aniya pa, I’m here for you if you need me [red heart emoji].”

Sa nasabing MMK episode, isinalaysay ang totoong karanasan ni Nadia, isang Pinay na naloko sa pamamagitan ng job offer sa Thailand.
Ngunit sa halip na trabahong inaasam para sa kanyang pamilya, napadpad siya sa isang online scam hub sa Myanmar, kung saan nakaranas siya ng walang kalayaan, walang pahinga, at punong-puno ng pang-aabuso.
