Charo admitted that there were times when she doubted herself, but she still kept going, embraced every challenge, and “found joy in each step of the process.”

The veteran actress-host also emphasized that she discovered a “deeper sense of purpose and a renewed love” for the country during her training.

“Spending these past few weeks alongside my fellow reservists has been an honor, and I hope my story encourages you to pursue your passions, face your fears, and keep moving forward. No matter where you are in life, know that growth is always possible,” she added.

Special thanks to 1st ARCEN and Col. Florante Baterina for your leadership and guidance throughout this journey. Maraming salamat sa inyong suporta at tiwala (Thank you so much for the support and trust),” she concluded.
