Angel Locsin gave words of wisdom to women who have had to deal with infidelity.
The actress and activist opened up on how she dealt with her experience of an unfaithful partner in writer G3 San Diego’s vlog on Monday, Aug. 31, as reported by Inquirer Bandera yesterday, Sept. 2.
However, she declined to name who this partner was.
San Diego broached the topic of cheating while discussing the teleserye “The Legal Wife,” where Locsin’s character Monica struggles in her marriage because of a third party.
When asked how someone could cheat on someone as beautiful and sexy as the actress, Locsin replied, “Wala naman sa itsura ‘yun. Karamihan ng mga kababaihan, kapag naloloko, sinisisi ‘yung sarili… Pero mali ‘yun eh.”
(It has nothing to do with looks. Many women, when they are cheated on, blame themselves… but that’s wrong.)
“Kailangan ma-realize ng mga kababaihan na ang ganung gawain, hindi mo fault ‘yun. Hindi mo fault na masama ang ugali ng isa. Hindi mo fault kung walang loyalty ‘yung isa,” she stressed.
(Women need to realize that that behavior is not your fault. It isn’t your fault if the other [person] has a bad attitude. It’s not your fault if they don’t have loyalty.)
She explained, “Totoo na sa isang problema, dalawang tao ‘yung involved pero sa kasalanan, isa na lang ‘yun eh. ‘Pag mali, mali pa rin ‘yun kasi.”
(It’s true that in a problem, two people are involved, but the wrongdoing, that’s only one person. When it’s wrong, that is still wrong.)
“Maraming babae ang nabubulag na ‘Ah baka kasi ganito, kasalanan ko kaya ako naloko.’ Pero hindi, kapag manloloko, manloloko talaga.”
(Many women get blinded and say “Maybe it’s like this, it’s my fault I was cheated on.” But no, a cheater is a cheater.)
She admitted that the pain helped her in her craft and that she won an acting award because of it.
Locsin added that the difficult experience gets washed away by finding the right person. For her, it is fiance Neil Arce.
She said, “Kapag nahanap mo ‘yung tao na para talaga sa ‘yo, mare-realize mo na how petty ‘yung mga pinagdaanan mo, ‘yung mga iniyak mo.”
(When you find the person who is meant for you, you will realize that what you went through and what you cried about was so petty.) Niña V. Guno /ra
