President Duterte to Ysabel Ortega on her 18th Birthday: “Do not be in a hurry to get emotionally involved.”
Actress Ysabel Ortega turned 18 last week. To celebrate her big day, Ysabel had a party at the Sampaguita Gardens in Quezon City.
The actress first got the attention of the public as Angela in the Kapamilya television show, ‘On the Wings of Love’. The then-underage actress reportedly created a bit of a buzz last year for taking the role of a 24-year-old.
‘On the Wings of Love’ ended its run last year and it seems like people are expecting to see more of Ysabel on television after the series’ success.
Aside from being one of Pinoy showbiz’s hottest up-and-coming young stars, fans might also recognize her as the daughter of Senator Lito Lapid and Michelle Ortega.
Given that Ysabel comes from a family of celebrities and politicians, it’s no surprise that her 18th birthday party had a number of major personalities as guests.
But nobody really expected the biggest celebrity on the guest list to actually be there. It was none other than President Rodrigo Duterte.
That’s right, readers; President Duterte took some time off from running the country just so he could be attend Ysabel’s big day. And get this, he didn’t just attend the lucky girl’s party. He also gave a speech. It mostly contained dating advice.
President Duterte reportedly said the following to the debutant:
“Alam mo, you are young, you are beautiful, and a simple woman. Do not hurry.”
Duterte did not end there, he continued with, “There’s always time in this world. Time to be happy. Time to be sad. Time for victory. Time for defeat. Sa buhay mo, take it from me, do not be in a hurry to get emotionally involved. Hayaan mo muna silang to adore you –a lot of guys will. But do not fall into the trap.”
President Duterte ended his speech with the following:
“Nakakasira talaga [ng buhay] iyan pa-in love, in love na iyan. …Make yourself an exception.”
Such thoughtful and sweet words from President Duterte.
