Is Kaye Abad ready to settle down?
Kaye Abad is already of marrying age, but the 31-year-old actress isn’t ready to settle down anytime soon, even if she sees boyfriend Guji Lorenzana as “husband-material”: kind, responsible and a family person.
“Mahirap eh. Madali lang naman magsettle down, yung desisyon na iyon. Pero kumbaga, i-enjoy muna siguro, trabaho na muna. Sayang ang opportunities. Ipon muna since mahirap ang buhay ngayon,” she said in an interview on the set of “Annaliza” in San Jose, Bulacan on Wednesday, July 10.
Kaye shared that she initially wanted to marry at 25, but she has changed her mind because she is afraid of a failed marriage.

“Hindi ko pa nararamdaman mag-settle down. Kasi ang bilis lang sabihin na gusto kong pagpakasal, tapos pwede kayong magpakasal anytime. Tapos ang dami ko pang nakakausap na nanay at tatay na nagsasabi na ‘Kapag nag-asawa na kayo, doon mo pa lang malalaman yung totoong ugali kapag magksama na kayo sa bahay.’ Parang ayaw ko muna.”
What would make her say “yes” to a marriage proposal?
“Siguro kapag nakaipon na or kapag stable na. Minsan nga kahit nakaipon ka na, parang it’s not enough.”
Happy for Guji and Grace
Kaye is happy Guji and his sister Grace passed the blind auditions of “The Voice of the Philippines.” The siblings are under Apl.de. ap’s team.
“Nagulat ako. Nakuha naman sila, so happy ako sa kanilang magkapatid. Kumbaga, wala naman siyang pinagkakabalahan ngayon. Sabi ko sige try mo. Sabi ko nga lang, mahirap rin.”
Kaye admits their busy schedules keep her and Guji from seeing each other more often, but she is very supportive of his new endeavor.
“Okay lang. Pangit rin naman maging hindrance kami sa isa’t isa sa mga gusto naming gawin. Kapag may time, eh di doon lang isisingit. Hindi rin naman forever ang ganoong opportunity, so sige na lang.”
Villain role
After being known for goody-goody roles, Kaye has tried her hand in playing kontrabida.,which she finds more draining and challenging.
“Mas mahirap palang maging kontrabida kahit sa umiyak. Kasi kapag galit ka palagi, effort talaga, lalo na ako ang lumanay kong magsalita. Nakakapagod siya.”
She adds that she has no similarity with the cruel Stella Celeres, her character in “Annaliza.” Kaye says that although she prefers good girl roles, she is thankful for the challenge of playing an anti-heroine.
“Minsan naiingayan na ako sa sarili ko kapag napapanuod ko sarili ko sa TV. Effort talaga sa ‘kin magsalita ng ganoon. Mas gusto ko pa rin yung ginagawa ko before kasi nakakapagod maging kontrabida. Pero thankful ako and happy na binigay sa akin itong role. Bilang normal na sa akin na umiyak, loving. Ito nararamdaman ko talaga na nagtatrabaho ako.”
After “Annaliza,” Kaye revealed that she doesn’t want another kontrabida role, because she’s afraid of typecasting.
“Gusto ko alam lang nila na kaya ko (magkontrabida).”
Kaye is happy that their TV remake of “Annaliza” is doing well in the ratings.
“Lalo na kapag remake, ang hirap tapatan kasi may mga expectations ang mga tao. Nung una kinakabahan kami kasi may mga nagtatanong kung sobrang pareho ba. Hindi namin alam kung matatanggap ng mga tao na may mga binago kami ng konti. But so far, natuwa kami kasi tumataas yung ratings.”
