On November 3, comedian Petite recounted how the Kapamilya host Vice ganda helped get through a breakup.
At the media conference for ‘Broken Hearts Trip,’ which LionhearTV covered, Petite noted Vice Ganda’s advice about getting over a heartbreaking breakup.
“Noong nawasak ‘yung puso ko, kasi ako ‘yung klase ng tao na buong-buo pero wasak na wasak, so ang una kong tinakbuhan, walang halong joke ‘to, si Meme Vice. Iyak ako ng iyak sa kaniya. Sabi niya sa akin, namnamin mo lang ‘yan, okay lang ‘yan, ‘wag mong madaliin, kasi matututo ka diyan.”
She also joked that she would usually eat to cope with the emotional journey of moving on from a heartbreak.
“I want to eat. Kasi minsan ‘yun talaga ‘yung naging ano ko eh–nagiging habit ko, ‘yung stress reliever ko. Oo ‘yung kumakain lang ako, kain ako ng kain. Pati mga kapit bahay ko, minsan nakakain ko na.”
Petite also disclosed how the filming of ‘Broken Hearts Trip’ eased her breakup from a four-year relationship and maintained her mental health.
“Yes, kasi bago po ishoot ‘to–open book naman po ang buhay ko sa YouTube na kakawala lang namin ng four years partner ko. So shinoot ‘to ng medyo mabigat. At ‘yung sinabi ni Direk Andoy, ang laking tulong, hindi lang po sa puso, pati sa mental health, ‘yung pagtra-travel namin. So ‘yun unti-unti ako naka-move on.”
Aside from relieving her heartbreak, she also surmised why their film got into the Metro Manila Film Festival 2023.
“Ako siguro, kaya nakapasok ‘to, naniniwala ako, prayers, ‘yung pinagdasal ko talaga ‘to. Kasi naniniwala ako na sobrang nag-effort kami dito, at komedyante ako at ang hirap sa akin mag-heavy drama. Gusto ko lang i-share sa lahat lalo na’t sa LGBTQIA+ family natin, ‘yung love na para sa lahat, gusto namin lahat universal.
“At ‘yung agam-agam na hanggang saan ba ‘yung pagbabayad ng utang na loob, pero dito sa movie na ‘to may sagot.”
As for their MMFF 2023 entry, ‘Broken Hearts Trip’ stars Andoy Ranay, Christian Bables, Petite, Iyah Mina, Teejay Marquez, Marvin Yap, Tart Carlos, and Jaclyn Jose.
Under the direction of Lemuel Lorca, ‘The Broken Hearts Trip’ opens in cinemas on December 25.
