Pero nacheck namin prices ng flights, medyo mahal kasi nga peak season.

Maybe we’re going to spend it somewhere locally na lang, we’re still discussing, we’re figuring it out, maybe Baguio because it’s cold or maybe the beach,” he said. The “My Love From The Star” actor also explained that faith is really less about religion and more about “values and morals.” “Your faith is rooted in your belief system, in your values, in your morals.

It’s your truth, who you are as a person. What you believe in, what you know what’s right, what you know is wrong, regardless of what religion, I believe that is what faith is about,” he stated. A post shared by Gil Cuerva (@gilcuerva) Meanwhile, Monasterio said that he and his girlfriend, Elle Villanueva, are planning to spend holy week at the beach.

When asked how he would define his faith, the “Makiling” actor said, “Siguro kapag mabait ka sa kapwa mo. Kahit nakakalimutan mo minsan magdasal, basta may maganda kang puso.” Subscribe to our daily newsletter By providing an email address.
