Ina Raymundo made sure to give a friendly reminder to people planning to get into relationships, as she spoke against dating insecure men.
Speaking in a cover interview with local lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan Philippines, Raymundo touched on her “chill” 24-year marriage with her husband, businessman Brian Poturnak, saying their relationship remained strong as they’re both as “calm as a lake” and not a “raging river.”
“To be honest, a relationship that works is a relationship where you’re just chill. As a body of water, you’re like a lake. Just calm. Not a raging river,” she said.
Such a relationship with Poturnak made Raymundo see the benefit of marrying someone from a different culture, knowing that she’s a “strong-willed person.”
“If you know that you are a strong-willed person, you have to date a foreigner because they’re more liberated,” she said while reminding her fans to “never ever” date an insecure man.
“Never ever date an insecure man. That’s a red flag. A giant red flag,” she further added.
The actress said this advice was picked up from her past experiences in relationships, saying she once had a “jealous boyfriend” who made her miserable. She, however, didn’t disclose his identity.
“I promised myself I would never ever date a jealous person. I’d be miserable. I’d be unhappy. I knew it wouldn’t last,” she said. “So, if you know your worth and you are an empowered woman, the last thing that you need is an insecure man.”
Raymundo and Poturnak have five children together — Erika Rae, Jakob, Anika, Mikhaela, and Minka.
She is among the leads of “Can’t Buy Me Love,” starring as the onscreen mother of Donny Pangilinan.
