Maraming proceso yan–– may application form, may mga schedule, at hindi isang bagsak ang bigay. Actually, hindi ko iniisip yun, kaya kong buhayin sarili ko at ang anak ko. Yun naman talaga ang pinaninidigan ko kahit kailan,” she explained.</p><p>The actress added that she never had the intention to steal or hide funds from Trevor and assured her followers that they never had a problem when it came to money as they were both aligned with their values.</p><p>“Kaya yung nag isip na nag kupit ako or nag kubra ng pera or nag withdraw sa bank account, eh una mag asawa po kami. Hindi kami nagkaproblema sa pera kahit na kailan kasi simple lang ang buhay namin–– kumain ng masarap, mabili yung gusto namin. Wala naman kaming gustong gawin na mag pumilit ng gastos tapos hindi namin kaya,” she added.</p><p>Rufa Mae then shared how grateful she was for Trevor even though they had misunderstandings in the past–– which she claimed they have patched things up prior to his passing–– he still put their daughter first. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/1/17/rufa-mae-quinto-on-divorce-with-husband-trevor-magallanes-walang-nag-file-1426"><strong>READ: Rufa Mae Quinto on divorce with husband Trevor Magallanes: ‘Walang nag file’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“Nagtatrabaho siya–– nag pulis siya para magkaroon ng benefit. Pagkatanda ni Athena, meron siyang pangaral. Si Trev nag plano siya ng maganda para sa amin na hanggang 100 years old ang anak ko, maalagaan siya,” she said</p><p>“Yun din yung dahilan kung bakit siya yung asawa ko kasi hanggang sa huli ako at ang anak ko ang inayos niya,” she continued.</p><p>Towards the end of her explanation, the actress asserted once more that she has never thought about the monetary benefits after Trevor passed away. She expressed that they are still grieving with his sudden passing and are trying to heal together. </p><p>“Hindi ko na naisip kaya ganun ang nangyari. Wala kaming withdrawal na nakukuha, wala akong pera kahit magkanong nakukuha. Wag niyong isipin yan,” she maintained.</p>
