Carla Abellana Opens Heart to New Love
Actress Carla Abellana recently shared that her heart is now open to new love and many possibilities. She said, “BUKAS ang puso ko now, bukas sa maraming bagay,” when asked about her current openness to relationships. However, she emphasized the importance of being cautious, especially after her past experiences. “Lagi ko sinasabing may mga nagpaparamdam pero siyempre nag-iingat din ako after what happened to me kailangan pipiliin ko po ng mabuti.”
Carla and her former partner have been separated for four years now. Her ex has since started a new family and currently resides in the United States.
Key Qualities Carla Seeks in Love
When asked about the traits she looks for in a partner, Carla pointed to integrity, honesty, and respect as her priorities. “Importante po ang integrity, honesty tsaka respect,” she said with a smile, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Rea Reyes.
Regarding how she can tell if someone truly possesses these qualities, Carla explained, “May times na lalo na sa mga naranasan ko may mga natutunan na po ako, siyempre may mga signs na po ‘yan.” Her mother added, “She knows na (kung) may mga red flags ‘yung mga watch out for.”
The Importance of Knowing the Person Well
Discussing the idea of rushing into marriage, Carla emphasized that the length of a relationship doesn’t guarantee success. “Yes lagi ko naman sinasabi na wala ‘yan sa tagal whether a decade na kayo together or not. Napaka-importante na kilalanin n’yo talaga ‘yung pagkatao ng tao,” she stated clearly.
Current Relationship Status and Dating Views
When asked if she is currently dating, Carla gave a coy response, “Ahhh, hmmm.” Meanwhile, her mother nodded enthusiastically and confirmed, “yes!” Carla clarified, “Hindi naman po dating or typical dating, lagi ko sinasabi open naman po ako.”
Mother’s Advice on Love and Relationships
Carla’s mother shared heartfelt advice, reflecting on the actress’s past relationship. She recalled how the previous breakup was a shock since they believed the relationship would last. “She needs to read the signs, she needs to understand that this is not right. She was ano, parang she ignored all the red flags, she thought it was normal. Akala niya na okay lang ‘yan it’s not that important, but it builds up, eh.”
She urged her daughter to stand firm, be herself, and call out anything that feels wrong. “She’s too nice to people to a fault, so, a lot of people take advantage of that, she needs to stand up for herself and she needs to take care of herself first before others because I think for the longest time she was not taking care of herself first, she was always taking care of others.”
Views on One-Night Stands and Family Dynamics
Carla firmly rejects the idea of one-night stands being considered normal or acceptable. She said, “I disagree hindi po ‘yun normal at hindi po siya dapat maging normal. Okay lang po ‘yun kung iyon ang belief niya (Rey), magkaiba po kami ng belief at lumaki po ako na seeing the effects of that kaya hindi po ako maga-agree sa ganu’n.”
She also revealed that she and her father have not discussed past issues, only asking for privacy during difficult times. “Wag munang i-publicize, ‘yun lang naman at wala naman akong nasabing masama, o masasakit na salita, from time to time gini-greet ko pa rin siya for his birthday. At hindi pa po kami nagkikita ulit since then, 4 years ago (na),” Carla shared.
Her mother confirmed that Carla and her ex-husband are not in contact and are not close, a sentiment Carla agreed with.
