Yeng Constantino got candid and explained why she has yet to start a family with husband Yan Asuncion.  

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Yeng recounted a moment when she thought she was pregnant and the uneasy feeling she had about it.

"One time pumunta kami ng Cambodia, nag-tour kami dun sa mga templo-templo tapos tiyempo pa na delayed ako. 'Yung sinasabi po ng ibang tao na parang kapag ka nalaman nila or naka-feel sila na buntis sila na parang nai-excite sila, sa akin po na-feel ko parang natakot ako," she admitted.

The singer remarked that it made her realize that she is not yet ready to be a parent.

"Na-realize ko po naku hindi pa ako handa talaga. Ako rin po sa sarili ko gusto ko naman maging normal na babae na parang excited to have a family, para mabuo na kami ni Yan (Asuncion, her husband), magkaroon na kami ng supling. I really wanted to be that kind of woman," she confessed.

The singer said that she wants to address first the different aspects of herself before becoming a parent.

"I really feel like I have to take my time to fix also my mindset. Kawawa naman 'yung bata pag lumabas sa mundo tapos hindi siya lumabas nang nasa kaligayahan ang aking kalooban. Gusto ko din po na matulungan 'yung sarili ko mentally, emotionally, and physically kasi po may hormonal imbalance din ako, ngayon I am taking hormone therapy," she stated.

But Yeng pointed out that if it's God will for her to have a child already, she will fully accept it.

"I can't say na malapit na po o matagal pa kasi kung 'yun binigay na ni Lord, Panginoon kalooban Mo na talaga 'to. Kasi ako sa sarili ko, God alam Mo na nandun pa ako sa moment na ini-enjoy ko 'yung life ko pero kung pakiramdam Mo, Lord, kaya ko na 'yung responsibilidad, kaya ko nang maging okay na nanay, hindi ako magdudulot ng kalungkutan sa buhay  niya at ako 'yung magiging biyaya sa kanya, honor sa akin 'yun na ipagkatiwala sa akin ng Panginoon kung sakali po," she stated.

When asked what her worries are about, Yeng replied, "Siguro po 'pag lumaki kang hirap. Mahirap po talaga 'yung parang hindi naman po sa ini-expect mo na 'yung doom, parang feeling mo about to happen."

The "Chinito" singer said that she wants to be secured financially first before having a child. "Gusto kong ma-secure 'yung sarili ko at kaming mag-asawa financially lahat now para dumating siya tapos sobrang lahat ng gusto niya mapupunnta sa kanya," she said.

Yeng said that she doesn't want her future child to experience what she experienced when she was younger.

"Nung mga bata pa kaming magkakapatid parang medyo mahirap 'yung mamroblema po sa mga bagay bagay, sa mga simpleng pangangailangan. So kami po mag-asawa we're really working hard to prepare kung anuman 'yung magiging pangangailangan in the future," she said.

Yeng further added: "Ang hirap po maging mahirap. 'Yung naririnig mo 'yung nanay mo na namomroblema tapos baon 'yung tatay mo sa utang. Ayoko ko talaga nun eh. Ayokong mangyari 'yun sa akin o sa magiging anak ko."

"Gusto ko maging responsableng adult. Gusto kong makatakas, iyon 'yung word eh. Pero hindi naman po ako parang ungrateful sa mga naranasan ko sa buhay nung bata ako. Actually grateful ako. May part na nakakatakot. Takot hindi galit, hindi lang din masakit, more on fear lang dahil naransana mo 'yung mamroblema para sa magulang mo."
