Comedian Kakai Bautista shared with her followers why she decided to remain single despite being already 44 years old.
In a Facebook post, Kakai said that sometimes she’s also considering finding the love of her life, however, she’s also thinking of her finances.
“Minsan gusto din talagang lumandi at mamamsin ng lalake pero kapag naiisip ko yung mga bayarin, gusto ko pang ma-achieve para sa sarili ko, NAGIGISING ako sa KATOTOHANANG di ko kailangan ng LALAKE para sumaya. Kailangan ko pera,” Kakai said.
Her statement received mixed reactions from some netizens, saying that she must build her family now before it’s already too late.
“Kung Ayaw mong mag asawa atleast mag pa anak ka nalang.mahirap tumanda mag isa super hirap maniwala ka.aanhin mo ang lahat ng pinagpaguran mo kung mag isa kalang.wag mo isipin ang mga bayarin tatanda kang mag isa tlaga.pag may rayuma kana walang hihilot ng sakit walang maghaplas sa likod mo,” netizen Cristy said.
However, Kakai said that she’s financially capable to hire people that would take care of her once she grows old.
“Kaya kong magbayad ng mag-aalaga sa akin. HINDI AKO MAG-AANAK para obligahin silang MAG-ALAGA sa akin sa PAGTANDA ko. Aalagaan ko sila at palalakihin sa mindset na Magkukusa sila,” she responded.
In another post, Kakai made clarifications about her beliefs, saying that love cannot feed a family and partners should be also financially independent.
“Don’t get me wrong, naniniwala padin ako sa Wagas na Pag-ibig. Di na nga lang ako niniwala na kaya kang buhayin ng PAG-IBIG lang. Both men and women should be financially independent and stable before going into a serious relationship or marriage.” Kakai said.
“Napakapangit pag-awayan ang wala kang ipapangdate, igagastos sa kasal, ipapakain sa mga anak mo, ipapang-aral at ipapang-ospital kung may magkasakit.” she added.
