Maxene Magalona has a message to all the Marites: 'It's better to spend your energy praying rather than gossiping'
Maxene Magalona reminded everyone that she, just like other celebrities, still has a right to privacy even though she's a public figure.
On Instagram, Thursday, the actress said she has been receiving plenty of questions about her personal life.
Maxene took the opportunity to "set healthy boundaries" and discouraged people from gossiping about others.
"Actors are human beings too. Even if our job entails us to be in the limelight, it doesn't mean that we owe our private stories to the public," she said.
"We all have the right to choose when and who we will share our stories with," she added.
Maxene also said it's not polite to ask people about their personal lives, whether or not you know them personally.
"You should give them space and wait for them to open up to you instead of prying and wanting to invade their privacy," she said.
She said inner peace is achieved when you focus on yourself and not on the lives of other people.
"It's better to spend your energy praying rather than gossiping," she said.
Maxene added she is happy and at peace because she strengthens her connection to God every day.
"Do not come to my page for gossip. Come to my page for God."
Last May, Maxene opened up about her mental health struggles during lockdown. One of the things she did to get through it is to surrender her thoughts and feelings to God.
