Moms are the best especially in giving love advice!
Mommy Edhel Marcelo talked to her daughter, Jamea, as she gave a piece of love advice over dinner.
“If the guy is choosing between you and the other woman, narrow down his option. Remove yourself from the equation because you are not an option and you will never be an option,” Edhel can be heard saying in the now-viral video.
To their surprise, the uploaded TikTok video went viral on social media, capturing the hearts of many women, including Jamea, who’s been through the same situation.
In an interview with The Philippine STAR, Jamea said that it was very natural for them to talk and share about random things which her mother never failed to give some insights.
“Most of the time especially if we’re having dinner or before I go to sleep, lagi siya nag bibigay ng advice. ‘Yung mga advices niya ay mostly based on her experiences. Isa po ito sa bonding moments namin. We’re just having dinner and then nag open up lang ako sa kanya about this guy na I’m taking with who’s giving me mixed signals and then dun na siya nagbigay ng advice about it and since she already had experienced it before, nakakarelate siya with my feelings and naiintindihan niya ‘yung na e-experience and nararamdaman ko,” Jamea shared.
As of this writing, the uploaded video on social media has already garnered more than 5.8 million views.
The online community was quick to react to the advice of Mommy Edhel.
“You’re so lucky to have a very kind mom 💗,” a netizen commented.
“Mommys are always right talaga 🤍,” another said.
Jamea is currently based in Canada. For her, Mommy Edhel is the “strongest and most loving” person she knows.
“To my mom, thank you for raising me as a strong woman. Thank you for making all those sacrifices, for providing for my needs and wants, and for always being there for me. Thank you for being the best mother. I can proudly say I am a strong woman because a strong woman raised me. I love you!” she noted.
Jamea also reflected on her mom’s golden love advice saying that every woman “deserve to be loved and respected without condition.”
“Don’t let anyone make you feel like you’re just an option. You are worthy, you are loved, and you are enough. Celebrate yourself and all the amazing women in your life today and every day. Happy International Women’s [month]!” Jamela stressed.
