On November 23, artist Kiray Celis shared her thoughts on unsolicited advice about relationships.
During the media conference for Stories from the Heart: Love On-Air, Celis said it’s good to have a friend who listens to her relationship problems.
“Marami akong ganon, na sobrang ka-close ko talaga na mga kaibigan na hinihingian ko ng advice. And minsan alam mo, madalas, alam naman natin kung ano ‘yung tama at mali. Alam natin kung ano ‘yung nasa sitwasyon tayo kung ano ‘yung nangyayari at kung ano ‘yung dapat mangyari.
“Pero minsan ang sarap kasi na makita or marinig na mayroong kaibigan na tumatabi sayo or may kaibigan na nakikinig sa problema mo at nagwe-waste ng time at moment noong panahon na ‘yun na kailangan mo.”
She added that sometimes it’s also healthy to have a friend outside of a romantic relationship.
“And, minsan hindi kasi maganda rin na ‘yung like parang best friend or ‘yung lagi mong kasangga ‘yung partner mo kasi minsan kayo ‘yung mga problema. So paano ka hihingi ng advice.
“May times na kailangan mo rin ng ibang tao. And ‘yun ‘yung mga dapat lang na pinagkakatiwalaan mo sa problema mo at sa buhay mo.”
She then noted that it’s still up to her if she would consider her friend’s advice.
“And ‘yung sa advice, hindi mo naman kailangan sabihin na no, hindi ko susundin. Nasasayo naman ‘yun eh. Kung handa silang makinig sa problema mo, handa ka rin dapat makinig sa kung anong sasabihin nila sayo.”
Earlier, Celis’ none showbiz boyfriend, Stephan Estopia, gifted her with a Louis Vuitton flip-flops and an iPhone 13.
Celis joins Stories from the Heart: Love On-Air, which premieres on November 29 on GMA Afternoon Prime. The series also stars Gabbi Garcia, Khalil Ramos, Sunshine Cruz, Jason Francisco, Anjo Damiles, Kate Valdez, and Psalms David.
