Jaya to return to US with family
Jaya has decided to leave for the United States with her family amid the pandemic.
According to a report by PEP.ph, the singer made the decision after going through several hardships in the past year.
“Naramdaman ko lang na nag-focus ako sa isang bagay na hindi ko alam, nalulungkot na pala ako, natatakot, at nadi-depress,” she said.
“I started to lose weight. Hindi ko na-anticipate na hindi na pala ako kumakain nang tama o tamang oras, o nag-one meal a day lang ako. Hindi ko yun napansin.”
Jaya shared that during this time, her husband, Gary Gotidoc, also had a stroke and recovered after three days.
“[S]a likod ng utak ko, parang, ‘teka ... anong nangyayari? Nakakulong tayo, wala tayong work, at may asawa kang nagkasakit, paano yung mga bata?’” she said.
The singer said her husband and stepson left for the US first. Before leaving, the family sold some of their property in Tarlac.
“You know, God had better plans. He made us sell the property, nagbayad the same day … that was January 5 … January 7, they departed,” said Jaya.
“They were able to find a job 22 hours later and they were able to find a home to rent na ang laki-laki, ang ganda-ganda na parang, pwede ba nating bilhin yun someday? Hindi naman binebenta … but you know, He provides.” – RC, GMA News
