On November 16, Kapuso actor Jason Abalos said he wanted to make his future wedding with Vickie Rushton memorable.
During the media conference for his contract renewal with GMA Artist Center, Abalos shared that he does talk to Rushton about their wedding. However, he wants to prepare for it before announcing it to the public.
“Yes, napag-uusapan na yan. Wala naman kaming ibang pupuntahan ni Vickie kung hindi ‘yun eh. Pero, kailangan handa kami. Hindi lang pinaplano ‘yan. Kailangan pinaghahandaan talaga para maging smooth lang kumbaga. Hindi yan minamadali.
“Hindi naman pwedeng sabihin na bonggang kasal, pero gusto namin maging memorable ‘yung kasal namin.”
He then shared his thoughts about couples who tied the knot during the pandemic.
“Ito kasing pandemya, nakita mo kasi ‘yung kapit bahay mo, kamag-anak mo, tito ko di ba? nawala dahil sa CoVID. Ang buhay talaga hindi mo alam kung hanggang saan ka lang.”
He also noted that they are preparing for their future together little by little.
“Ano na kami, kumbaga, planning. Ayaw kasi naming sumabak na parang hindi kami ready. Gusto ko pagka, nakikipag-giyera tayo, mayroon tayong bala at baril. Sabi ko, “sige, unti-untiin natin.” Kasi dumaan talaga ang pandemya at lahat nag-a-adjust. Parang kailangan natin ilagay ‘yung sarili natin sa isang lugar na hindi tayo mawawala. Doon pa rin sa kumportableng zone.”
Abalos added that Rushton’s support encouraged him to take advantage of opportunities for 2022.
“Naging sign kasi sobrang tagal ko na pinagpe-pray. Naging sign na itutuloy ko ‘yung next year noong sinabi ni Vickie na, o suportahan kita. Doon ako natuwa. Sabi ko ito na ‘yun. Ito na ‘yung mga pinagdadarasal ko. Kumbaga hindi ako mahihirapang pasukin ‘yung next year kasi alam ko may kasama ako.”
Abalos recently took up his master’s degree in Management, majoring in Public Administration at the Philippine Christian University.
Abalos began his career with Star Magic in 2004. He starred in various Kapamilya projects such as Vietnam Rose, Agua Bendita, and 100 Days to Heaven. He transferred to GMA Network in 2017, wherein he worked Kapuso teleseryes such as The One That Got Away, Asawa ko Karibal ko, and now, Las Hermanas.
