Veteran actress Janice de Belen's daughter, Inah de Belen, has earned praise for her composed and direct responses to online commentators who questioned her decision to live with her long-time boyfriend, Kapuso actor Jake Vargas.

The couple, who have been together since 2016, made headlines before when they took the big step of moving in together in 2022. However, their living arrangement recently became the subject of public scrutiny on social media, prompting Inah to step in and address the comments herself.

Screenshots of a recent Facebook exchange that Fashion Pulis had shared, showed Inah de Belen — who is an author on the post — responding to two different individuals who criticized the relationship based on what they perceived as her young age, which stirred some online buzz.

One comment, written in Tagalog, read: "Ang babata pa nag-live in na." Inah swiftly corrected the misconception, revealing her actual age and politely suggesting the commenter verify their facts.

She replied, "Nay, 33 years old na po kami, mag-research po muna kayo." Inah's partner, Jake Vargas, was born in 1992, making him 33 years old in 2025. This response, which pointed out their maturity, garnered a significant amount of support, as seen by the 1.2K reactions in the photo.

A second comment, also in Tagalog, offered a more pessimistic prediction: "Ang babata pa nag-live na agad, magkahiwalay din yan kapag nagkasawaan na." Inah's response to this was short, sweet, and to the point, asserting their autonomy as adults too: "We're adults but thank you haha."

Inah de Belen's calm handling of the situation has resonated positively with her followers, who appreciated her non-confrontational yet firm stance in defending her personal choices.
