The sad part about Nina's stardom, is, I think, that she feels she has to lower her social status/breeding, so people will accept her. She grew up mayaman, right? So her breeding is, lets face it, still that of the mayaman, even though they lost their wealth. Even though they lost their wealth, she's still who she was brought up to be, syempre! It's sad that she has to say she's jologs and not really sosyal, but that's a necessity, because, lets face it, most of the mamamayang Filipino that comprise the fanbase of Philippines cinema, are the masa.
The interesting thing, though, is the fact that if you are in fact all that, and you are mean, everybody will kiss up to you and want to be like you. But if you are all that, and you are a sweetheart (like Nina) everybody will se it as an opportunity to be mean to you, and pick on you, in hopes of making you feel bad about yourself (like what they've successfully done to Nina-even making her cry) hence, making their own selves feel better about being just plain ordinary folk.
Nina needs to develope an attitude. Kya lng, it's hard 'cuz she does need the money, and does need to pursue a carreer in that industry, so she needs to please the masa.
