"Hindi kaya ng puso ko. Nanghihinayang ako sa pera. Kasi bag lang siya," one of these stars expresses.
1. Megan Young
When she first started out in the industry, Megan Young was told by her handler, "Kailangan talaga may designer handbag ka kasi artista ka." It was advice she eventually followed, purchasing a classic bag Balenciaga City that she's been using for a decade now.
2. Danica Sotto
Danica Sotto has always viewed herself as a practical person, most especially when it comes to her expenses. In a previous interview, she shared how the few designer bags she has are only gifts from her husband Marc Pingris and her dad Vic Sotto.
3. Judy Ann Santos
Similarly, Judy Ann Santos considers other assets that she could allocate for her budget than a new piece of arm candy. While she professes that she loves designer pieces just as much as the next gal, she just can't will herself to shell out that much cash.
4. Beauty Gonzalez
Beauty Gonzalez's on the same boat, emphasizing how she doesn't like owning bags she has to be extra careful with. "It's just too much for me for a bag. I like it if namana ko from someone [rather] than buying it for myself," she told PEP.ph in an interview.
5. Rica Peralejo
Over the past few years, Rica Peralejo has escaped from the limelight in exchange for a quieter life with her family. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the former actress admitted to using a "fake LV bag," stating that she'd "rather buy a tent with the money" used to spend on a real one. While the post drew some flak, other netizens praised Rica for her honesty and transparency.
