A brief cool-off apparently did John Lloyd Cruz and Shaina Magdayao good.
The controversial showbiz couple has already matured in their relationship, which has gone through a hurricane of intrigues since they got together in 2010 until they separated for some time late last year.
In a recent press conference, Shaina related, “Maraming changes, changes for the better. Mas na-appreciate namin ang isa’t-isa ngayon. At mas alam na niya ang needs ko, mas alam ko ang needs niya as a person. Siguro, mas tumaas ang respeto namin sa isa’t-isa.
“Kasi, ‘di ba, when you part ways, dapat hanggang dun na lang ‘yun? Pero ‘pag nagkabalikan kayo, dun pa tumaas ang respeto namin. Na-realize namin ang worth ng isa’t-isa.”
Although their schedules are both packed, Shaina said that she and John Lloyd determinedly make time for each other.
“We try to have breakfast or dinner together ‘pag may konting oras na rest. Sobrang daming effort but it’s part of it. At least nakakatuwa na pareho kaming may trabaho,” said the young actress.
Overcoming setbacks in their relationship hasn’t been easy, according to Shaina, especially since they are public figures routinely scrutinized under a microscope. Nevertheless, Shaina maintained she’s not the type who will back down from challenges.
“…The more you put me down, the more I’ll prove you wrong, mas lalaban at lalaban ako, hindi ako magpapatalo. At the same time, ‘pag merong masaklap na nangyari sa buhay ko, I always believe na may kapalit ‘yun… Lahat ng mga nabato sa akin ni Lord pinapalitan niya ng mas maganda. So grabe ‘yung faith ko sa Diyos na hindi niya ako pababayaan,” said Shaina, who’s one of the lead stars of the upcoming drama series, “Kung Ako’y Iiwan Mo.”
