Kylie Verzosa, nagbigay ng honest take sa pagiging 'martyr' ng mga babae sa pag-ibig

• Kylie Verzosa and Bianca Gonzalez just discussed the common tendency of Filipinas to endure toxic relationships
• The former beauty queen bared that she does not tolerate relationships that don't respect her
• The actress admitted she once fell into the "martyr" trap during her very first relationship
• Kylie emphasized that women should prioritize themselves, strongly rejecting a toxic claim too

For many generations, Filipinas have often been praised for their patience and resilience in love, but beauty queen-turned-actress Kylie Verzosa is here to say that enough is enough.

In a recent episode of Bianca Gonzalez's popular Paano Ba 'To? podcast, the two women got incredibly real about how modern women should handle relationship struggles. Bianca opened up the conversation by pointing out a common habit among local women's vibe when it came to love.

"We Filipinas, may parang, martyr vibe," Bianca observed. "I don't know if it's cultural, or yun nga, parang we just hang on, or may titiisin tayo because nga we just want it to work... until like the universe will make a way for you to realize that it's over."

However, for Kylie, staying in a relationship that hurts you is simply not an option anymore, especially for her.

"Ako, I'm not like that," Kylie shared directly. "I'm like, there is someone better! Like, if you f*** up, I'm moving on."

Hearing this, Bianca praised Kylie's strong boundary-setting, admitting that she was the complete opposite when she was younger. Bianca even joked that she wants her daughters to copy Kylie's strong mindset.

Kylie gently clarified that she did not always have this strong outlook. Like many young women, she had to learn her lesson the hard way, even recalling her very first relationship.

"I had that mistake though in my first relationship. I think I was in college," Kylie recalled. "Hated it. Kasi who do you live for, a guy? I don't think that's the way it's supposed to be... Dapat ikaw! And then, the guy will follow and then you grow together."

Kylie Verzosa is a Filipina actress, model, and beauty queen best known for winning the Miss International 2016 title. Before entering pageantry, she worked as a preschool teacher and was affiliated with the Professional Models Association of the Philippines. After her international pageant victory, Kylie expanded her advocacy work, particularly promoting mental health awareness. She later transitioned into acting, appearing in projects such as the 2021 thriller The Housemaid, a Filipino adaptation of the Korean film. Outside show business, she also launched her own brand called SOLA.
