Another netizen speculated that after the departure of long-time mentor, Mr. M from Star Magic, Salvador does not care anymore and only fends for herself.
since mr. m left star magic, maja started not to care about abs anymore. she even left star magic and put up her own talent agency. so i guess dont depend on maja anymore. she only cares about herself which i guess her prerogative. lets just wish everybody goodluck.🙂
