Rufa Mae Quinto Faces Life Challenges Head-On
Rufa Mae Quinto has endured significant life challenges over the past few years. The actress and comedian not only went through a separation from her husband, Trevor Magallanes, but was also unfortunately involved in an investment scam. Thankfully, investigations cleared her of any wrongdoing.
Despite the hurdles and controversies, Rufa Mae managed to overcome these difficulties. She expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Lord and to those who stood by her side during these trying times.
Career and Personal Life Moving Forward
During a recent appearance on a popular talk show, Rufa Mae appeared upbeat about her current life and career. She thanked everyone who continues to trust her with work and opportunities, feeling blessed for their support.
However, she admitted that the investment scam affected her deeply. The stress was so intense it led to her fainting inside her hotel room. She shared, “Mula noon, sabi ko, ‘di na ako puwedeng mag-emote kasi ‘yung anak ko paano siya? Sino ang mag-aalaga sa kanya? Baby pa siya, ‘di ba? Sabi ko, sa sobrang takot, sa sobrang heavy, puwede mo pala ikamatay.” Fortunately, no harm came to her during that incident.
Adjusting to Living in the Philippines
Rufa Mae revealed she has decided to settle in the Philippines with her daughter Athena, marking a significant adjustment for the young girl. “Nalulungkot siya. Siyempre, gusto niya makita buong ang pamilya. Ayaw niya umalis ng Amerika. Siyempre, may school na siya doon, doon siya lumaki.”
She continued, “Parang ‘di pa siya ready lumipat sa Philippines pero siguro sa lahat ng pinagdaanan ko, na-feel niya na dito na lang tayo sa Philippines. Na-feel na rin niya na hirap na hirap na siguro ako.” The actress also feels more relaxed about this decision, saying, “Tsaka siguro mas relaxed na ‘ko ngayon. Sure na sure na. May isang bagay na sure ako. dito muna kami.”
Respect Remains Despite Separation
Although Rufa Mae and Trevor have parted ways, mutual respect still exists between them. “Siyempre mahal ko, asawa ko ‘yun eh, ‘di ba? Hanggang ngayon naman asawa ko pa rin naman siya eh. Kaya lang, ayaw na rin niya, so ayaw ko na rin at ginagalang ko ‘yun.” She added, “Kasi mas kadiri naman kung ayaw ko pang tumigil, ‘di ba?”
Through all these experiences, Rufa Mae continues to focus on her family and career, grateful for the support she has received and hopeful for the future.
