Yeng ready to fall for a God-fearing man
At 24, singer-songwriter Yeng Constantino is ready to have a boyfriend – a God-fearing one, that is.
“Mas mahal niya si God, mas okay sa akin. Naniniwala ako na kung may lalaki na mahal niya si God, alam niya kung paano ako mamahalin at iri-respeto. Alam niya kung anong dapat gawin kapag sa mga desisyon at may mga problema. So, hindi kami mag-aagawan kasi puno siya ng pagmamahal.”
She admitted that her parents allowed her to have a boyfriend when she turned 21, but she preferred to wait until she’s ready.

“This year, I'm looking forward sa isang magandang yugto at bagong kabanata ng aking buhay. Gusto ko na po talaga. Personally kung tatanungin niyo ako kung gusto ko na po talaga magka-boyfriend? Ay oo naman po, pero hintay lang,” Yeng said at the press launch of her new album “Metamorphosis” on Tuesday, February 19.

Yeng knows that a relationship is not something to be taken lightly.
“Alam mo na haharapin mo ang problema mo with your own responsibility. So, siguro, mas naging responsible lang ako kaya hindi ako nakasagot ng ‘oo’ kaagad.”
Share of heartaches
While she hasn’t been in a relationship yet, Yeng revealed that she had her share of heartaches.
“Noong sinabi sa akin ng Daddy ko na hindi ako magbo-boyfriend, hindi talaga ako nag-boyfriend. Nagmahal na ako pero siguro hindi karapat-dapat ang pagmamahal ko sa kanila kasi hindi sila naghintay. Siguro merong para sa akin na maghihintay at magmamahal sa akin habang-buhay.”
Yeng added that her experience on falling in love is the inspiration behind the romantic songs she wrote in her albums.
Her latest single “B.A.B.A.Y” is inspired by a close friend who fell in love with her.
“Bigla na lang siyang nawala nang walang pasabi. Kaya pala siya umiwas kasi nai-in love na siya sa akin. Kaibigan lang talaga tingin ko sa kanya. So parang sinasabi ko sa kanya na ang dali lang magsabi ng bye (babay), tapos bigla ka na lang aalis,” she said.
“Metamorphosis,” produced by Sandwich vocalist Raimund Marasigan, is made up of 10 original tracks, namely “Hahanapin Kita,” “Josephine,” “Messiah,” “Pasensya Na,” “Sana ‘Di Pa Huli,” "Teleserye,” "Pag-ibig,” and “Sandata.”
