MANILA — With black-and-white photos of her in her wedding dress, Maxene Magalona opened up about her process of moving on from a separation on Monday, after recently confirming she is single.

Magalona, 35, mentioned being “single and childless” in an Instagram post last week, as she related having a positive perspective about having no family of her own.

Her candid confirmation of being single came nearly a year after the first rumors of her separation from her husband, Rob Mananquil, whom she married in January 2018.

Over the past year, Magalona would chronicle her journey of healing, without categorically saying whether it was from her failed marriage. That changed on Monday, as she used the hashtag #MoveOnWithMaxene and proceeded to share tips about moving on from a breakup.

Magalona specified seven ways, offering an explanation for each. Her tips, in order, were:

  • 1. Grieve. Cry. Feel the pain and let it all out.
  • 2. Pray for yourself and your ex.
  • 3. Surrender to the present moment and accept the situation as if you chose it.
  • 4. Be grateful for all the lessons and knowledge you gained in the relationship.
  • 5. Understand that your ex is also just like you—a soul who is figuring its way out through this lifetime.
  • 6. Focus on yourself. Us this time as a time of personal growth and development.
  • 7. Let go and let God.

As in her past posts about healing emotionally, Magalona notably made no mention of Mananquil in her Monday update. In fact, the actress would always decline answering questions from followers directly pertaining to her breakup or what caused it.

Magalona would instead remind fans that actors, despite being public figures, are human beings who also deserve their privacy especially when it comes to personal matters.

MANILA -- British-Norwegian boy band A1 returned to the Philippines for their much-anticipated “A1 Valentine’s Tour,” serenading Filipino fans with a nostalgic night of hits and heartfelt performances at the New Frontier Center in Quezon City.

The veteran band held a 2-day performance, featuring Ben Adams, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read, and Paul Marazzi, who delighted the crowd with a 19-song setlist.

The night kicked off with their opening song “Heaven by Your Side,” setting a romantic tone perfect for the Valentine's occasion.

The group also performed fan-favorite hits such as “Everytime,” “Like a Rose,” and “Forever in Love,” bringing back memories for longtime supporters.

The concert was a dream come true for fans who have followed A1 since their rise to fame in the late ’90s and early 2000s.

“I’m a ’90s baby, kaya naman gustong-gusto ko talaga 'yung A1. Talagang inabangan ko itong araw na ito para makapunta sa Valentine’s concert nila,” a fan named Maria Socorro La Luna said.

Meanwhile, younger fans were also eager to witness the iconic group live.

Marc Angelo Mallari, 24, shared his reason for attending: “I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in my circle watching this. I’m here because I want to expand my music discography and knowledge. This is just one of my attempts to widen my appreciation for music.”

The band’s music has also transcended generations, with 64-year-old Josephine Osorio traveling all the way from Bulacan to Quezon City just to see them live.

“Simula pa noong mga bata pa sila, sila na talaga ang pinakikinggan ko. Ilang beses na silang bumalik dito, talagang eager akong makita sila,” she shared.

“Timeless talaga ang music ng A1. Kita mo naman, 64 na ako pero nandito ako para manood. Bulacan pa ako, dinayo ko talaga sila," she added.

This visit marks A1’s latest stop in the country, following their “Twenty Five” concert tour in 2023. The Philippines has long been a special place for the group, having also performed in Manila in 2018.
