“Di Kami Mataba sa Personal”
I swear if I had a peso for every time someone approached me to say “Ang payat mo pala sa personal! Bakit sa TV ang taba mo?” I would be a very rich woman.
For those who are loyal UH viewers, you have been witnesses to the many important occasions that have happened to the hosts’ lives. You were there when I got married. Followed by Lyn and then Rhea. You were witness to my growing tummy (and nose, the horror during close-ups!) when I first got pregnant. And so on and so forth. It is wonderful for us to be able to not only share the important moments in our lives but also to celebrate them with you. So it boggles my mind when, only a month after giving birth, people would say that I am fat. I mean you know I just gave birth right? So what gives?
I would often rotate my standard responses to such comments depending on my mood for the day. “Ang payat mo pala sa personal! Bakit sa TV ang taba mo?” I would say…
“Pakikalat na lang po na payat ako ha.” A response I borrow from the very funny Arnold Clavio.
“Ows? Di kaya ako mataba sa TV.” I say this when I want to assert the fact that even I notice that I have long since lost all my baby weight. My youngest daughter is after all over two years old already.
“Ay opo, ganun talaga sa TV.” When I want to reinforce the fact that most everyone knows TV adds ten pounds.
“Naku lalo na po kung kayo ang napunta sa TV.” Ayan pag nagmamaldita na talaga ako. Haha! We have bad days too you know.
It must be in the culture of Filipinos to start a conversation with a negative comment. Even among family or friends who haven’t seen one another in a long time, that seems to be a standard opening line. Syempre mas okay kung sabihin na “uy, payat ka ngayon.” Instead of “Tumataba ka!”
Thank goodness for the fact that I have a strong sense of self. I know I will probably never have a super flat stomach, but I know that my body is strong due to regular running and swimming and biking sometimes. I do these sports not to appease the critics but for myself. I want to have a strong body and be healthy so I can take care of my family better. The wonderful side effect is that I am starting to look slimmer. Or so I think! Because it still surprises me whenever people tell me I still look fat on TV. When I ask them “So sino para sa inyo ang payat sa TV?” no one can give me a quick answer.
No wonder it is a worldwide phenomenon that more and more celebrities are wanting to lose weight to the point of being emaciated. A lot of them are doing so in an unhealthy manner for only one goal…to look good on screen. Do they do this for themselves? Or do they do this for you?
I understand that sometimes people just want to talk to us when they see us out in the mall or wherever. That could be the reason why they feel the need to open the conversation with a comment, any comment. Unfortunately, most take the negative route that can result to a negative reaction. Sayang naman, minsan na lang tayo magkita sa personal, lubusin na natin ang moment.
I have one important tip for you guys if you want to interact with us for longer than two sentences. Just say “HI!” Tell us what you like about the show. Ask us a question. Tell us your favorite segment. You don’t even have to say we’re thin.
Thank you kapuso! Peace!

one thing I can say, people dont have no sense in a lot of ways.. Do not know how to use the word “Right Justification.” First of all, how come they can say you are being mataba. In the tv you look perfect to me. Mataba meaning, no strenght, cant able to walk 3 blocks away.My ghost, this people are ignorante…Next time ask their vital signs ok… Well one thing I can say. Isa ka sa mga sexy host ng UH except, Arnold and Kuya Larry.. I love Eagle he is cute, especially kung may Juday siyang report and also Kuya Larry. Sana i- co host naman ninyo si Juday one morning or i- guest naman ninyo the whole UH in the AM..
I hope mag-sign na JUday sa KAPUSO, THEN MAKA HOST- NI jOLENA. oh MY GOD. I am dying every morning. Siguro I can shift to nighttime job.
Mamatay yata ako at muling mabubuhay. hahahha. Plaese also guest MANE sometimes I watch her in SIS, yes She sang her old time song memory. SAYANG NA SAYANG LANG.Let me tell you sh estill have it..

happy new year everyone!!!
ba’t wala pong blog ung ibang hosts…sana meron rin..
ellow sa lahat ng hosts! you are all great!
This is my first time to visit your website, actually the only time i found chance to look for it. It’s been months since i last watched an episode. Blame it on my very early work schedule. But it had been a habit for me before my new schedule to turn on the TV and start checking who among the hosts were absent or what color they were all wearing for that day and of course see the whole barkada.
Oh Ms. Suzy, I’m a big fan! First of all, you are not fat. I remember having that rare chance to talk to you when i chanced upon you in an elevator in a Mall. I wanted to say “hi!” but you caught me staring at the brooch pinned on your dark emerald green off shoulder blouse! It was embarrassing. I think because you were tall and i couldn’t look up and summon a courage to smile at you. hehehe..I ended up watching you walked out of the elevator without me being able to say “hi”..
Second of all..I wanted to know if you really like Korean food (and if Jolina does too). Given the chance to visit, i’d carry a box of rameon!
Last, i wanna wish you and the rest all the best for your show and I’m sure you are still on top.
I miss my morning barkadas…
Regi
hey..i am one of unang hirit loyal viewer talaga…pagkagising ko bukas agad ng tv ang gnagawa ko before anything else,.(nauuna pa bago ko mag toothbrush..hehehe) and hindi naman mataba c ms.suzie..payat kaya nya….
Ms. Suzie.
I Saw You At Baguio With Your Family And You Were So Thin.
I Didn’t Think That You Were I Was Lookin’ At.
COMMENT.
Ms.Suzie, At last we got your website after subscribing with GMA pinoy tv here in Canada. Our reason is we would like to see you and Mr. Arnold Clavio again in person after almost 10 years. Remember your former early morning show before Unang Hirit? My daughter then 2 years old going on three won a contest in your show something with a question about the president of the Philippines. Then we went to the show with our pancit Malabon and we have pictures taken with you and Arnold and the new commercial talent then starting as an actor Mr. Ryan Agoncillo. We wish to see the video that was of that show from your archives if possible. My daughter keeps on looking at those pictures until she again saw you on tv and her siblings wants to see your show too. We ar planning to visit home at the end of the year and we love to visit you again. Say hi to Mr. Clavio from us and we will get in touch or you could e-mail us for how to contact your office or your show. Thanks so much and we are excited. You are still the best morning show for us and congratulations to all of you.
Ms. Suzie may point kayo sa sobrang dami, points na siya hindi dapat inuumpisahan ang conversation sa isang negative na comment. ung joke nyo po na “Naku lalo na po kung kayo ang napunta sa TV.” Ayan pag nagmamaldita na talaga ako.BENTA po saken.pinaka favorite kong segment nyo yung you’ve got a look alike kahit naliligo ako sa umaga lalabas pa talaga ko ng hindi pa tapos parang lang mapanood. siguro po mga 5 beses ko na kayo nakita ng personal tapos po long duration nung panahon paslim kayo nang paslim. mas madalas pa ko manonood sa UH kc bakasyon
Hi Suzie. I like you and lyn and all your co-hosts. I regularly watch Unang Hirit. As in paggising sa umaga kayo agad and unang kong nakikita. Bakit wala ka yata today, dumating si Lyn then ikaw naman ang wala? Vacation abroad ka rin ba?
