Katrina Halili Speaks Out on Daughter Katie’s Upbringing
KATRINA HALILI – Kapuso star Katrina Halili’s heartfelt appeal to netizens about her daughter Katie has captured attention and sparked conversations online.
Katrina Halili recently became the center of online conversations after posting an emotional message on Facebook about her daughter, Katie. The post quickly caught the attention of netizens and stirred discussions across social media.
On Wednesday, August 13, the actress shared an old photo of Katie from her younger years, accompanied by a heartfelt note. In her message, Katrina appealed to the public to refrain from tolerating certain behaviors and instead join her in steering her daughter toward the right path.
“Sana po lahat tayo iisa ang goal [na] maging masayahin, mapabuti, maging marespeto si Katie. Next month po [ay] 13 years old na siya. Paki-usap po, kung talagang mahal niyo si Katie, turuan natin maging independent, at wag i-tolerate yun mga mali, tantanan na po,” she wrote.
The Kapuso star underscored that this would be her “last chance” to speak to the public about her daughter.
“Maawa kayo sa akin at sa bata. Mahirap po para sa akin na hindi tayo iisa, last chance na po ito, kundi, hindi niyo na siya makikita. Iba po ang mahal, sa pag kunsinti ng mga hindi na tama,” Katrina stated.
Katrina also addressed why she decided to make the post visible to everyone instead of limiting its audience.
“Sa mga nagtatanong ba’t hindi ko ito i-private, ilang taon ko na po itong problema. Para ipaalam ko sa post na ‘to na seryoso po ako. Wala rin pong nang-bully kay Katie. Wag niyo po isipin yan. Mag-13 na po siya, kailangan na po mag-mature. I know yun mga ausome mom, lalo yun din, ang isa sa gustong mangyari sa mga anak nila,” she explained.
Katrina’s public statement reflects her hope that those who care about Katie will come together to help nurture her into a mature, respectful, and self-reliant young woman. With Katie’s 13th birthday approaching, the actress calls for unity between family members and the online community to guide her daughter toward a brighter and more disciplined future.
