Ashley Ortega's young but impressive career

May 13 ------ Ashley Ortega admits to getting affected the most when netizens address her as nothing more than way below an actress. It was only after the Kapuso star got booted out of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB)'s Bahay ni Kuya was she all the more inundated with a wave of harsh criticisms thrown her way.

Ashley says that even prior to her short-lived PBB stint, she in fact was in the crosshairs of socmed bashings. These grew all the more during her post-eviction. "Before I simply wouldn't give a hoot if people bashed me. But what finally got me was the 'starlet' thing," she laments. She wishes people wouldn't be too hard on her considering: "I've only been in this business for five years. There's still a lot to do, a room for improvement."

Good thing, Ashley has earned quite a sizeable number of netizens who believe her stature has leveled up. This group cites Ashley's successive projects on GMA (from "Legal Wives" to "Pulang Araw," and in between) with variegated roles she can sink her teeth into — and yes, no other actress who has just been around for too short a time can deliver with much aplomb and astonishing grace.
