Maxene Magalona Reveals Almost Quit Showbiz Last Year

MAXENE MAGALONA – Kapamilya actress and yoga instructor Maxene Magalona revealed she almost quit showbiz last year.

Filipina social media personality and actress Maxene Magalona is the daughter of late rapper Francis Magalona while her mom is Pia Arroyo-Magalona. She has a brother named Elmo Magalona who joined the showbiz industry in 2019.

The 34-year-old celebrity married musician Rob Mananquil on January 11, 2018. She and her husband stayed in Bali last year during the COVID-19 pandemic. She shared that they had been doing yoga and meditation in that beautiful country.

After spending more than a year in Bali, Maxene Magalona revealed that she considered quitting showbiz and just focus on her journey as a mediation and yoga teacher. But her new tv series “Viral Scandal” made her think twice about turning her back on acting.

She is set to star in a new family drama series “Viral Scandal.” The series also stars Dimples Romana, Jake Cuenca, Ria Atayde, Charlie Dizon, Joshua Garcia, Markus Paterson, Ria Atayde, Miko Raval, and Jameson Blake.

She said, “Dumating talaga yung question na yun sa akin na if ever man I was at a point in my life where I was telling myself, if ever hindi na ako magkaroon ulit ng offers sa pag-aartista, okay lang sa akin. Tanggap ko kumbaga. I’m at a time in my life right now where I am learning to do my work but also to surrender to God’s plan.”

“So nung time na yun na wala sa isip ko yung magkaka-offer ba ako or ano, I wasn’t really pressuring myself or I wasn’t thinking about it. Biglang dumating itong show na ‘to sabi ko, ‘Wow feeling ko parang meant to be.’ So sabi ko nung time na yun hindi ko tatanggihan kasi blessing and at the same time feeling ko it was a sign from God that kailangan ko ipagpatuloy ito and I really do love acting,” she added.

Maxene Magalona is currently teaching yoga classes online. She said incorporating yoga and meditation in her life helped her improve as an actress.

“I’m at a point in my life right now where I just want to be able to apply everything that I’ve been learning through yoga and meditation in terms of connecting with my emotions. Kasi dati when I was acting I wasn’t really as open as a human and I wasn’t really as connected to my emotions. So now that I am, I am so looking forward to just stepping on set and having this new mindset, this new attitude and hopefully I will be able to translate that as Audrey Ramones and sana magustuhan ng mga tao. I’ also very, very blessed to be surrounded by the best actors and cast, crew, staff, lahat talaga. Parang everything here is just falling into place everyday and it just feels so amazing to just be surrounded by this kind of energy right now,” Maxene said.
