Actor David Licauco recently shared his thoughts on the “three-month rule” during a livestream, emphasizing the importance of taking time to heal after a breakup before entering a new relationship.
“Kasi isipin mo, kunwari ikaw, nakipaghiwalay ka, kailangan mo muna i-heal ‘yung sarili mo so that ‘yung baggages mo from the past relationship, hindi siya madadala sa next relationship mo,” Licauco said, advising people to focus on resolving personal issues post-breakup.
Importance of Healing
Licauco, who reportedly ended his relationship with his non-showbiz girlfriend, underscored the need to address mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being before moving on.
“Para hindi ma-encounter ‘yung mga problems before during your past relationship. Kailangan munang ayusin ang sarili,” he added.
Connection to On-Screen Partner
Licauco’s comments come amid news of his “Maria Clara at Ibarra” co-star Barbie Forteza ending her long-term relationship with Jak Roberto.
Licauco and Forteza have worked together on multiple projects, including Heartful Cafe, Maria Clara at Ibarra, Maging Sino Ka Man, That Kind Love, and the recently released Pulang Araw.
Takeaway
The actor’s advice encourages reflection and self-care after breakups, ensuring healthier dynamics in future relationships.
