He acknowledged his past actions but he maintained that he no longer is the same person he was several years ago.</p><p>“I became a Christian in 2013 but at one point in my life, I was the most hated man in the Philippines. It was a title that stuck with before–– parang ito yung definition ng life ko before but it’s no longer my definition but I’m just saying it as a matter of fact,” he shared.</p><p>When asked to give advice on having a lasting marriage, he shared that knowing when to forgive and what to let go are important aspects that couples have to know.</p><p>“Ano ba ang secret sa lasting marriage? Ang always sagot ko is forgiveness–– everyday forgiveness because the person in front of you is not perfect. He or she will irritate you, upset you but it’s a daily forgiveness na kailangan mag decision na maliit na bagay ito papalakihin ko pa ba?” he explained.</p><p>Hayden added that while he is not a perfect husband, he knows when to stand up and “become a better person” for his wife. </p><p>“Choosing proactively kung paano mo pasasayahin yung partner mo, I think that mindset is another key to a successful marriage. I’m not saying very perfect ako, I mean Vicky can tell you ang dami kong palpak, ang dami ko laging maling decision but it’s when you stand up again after you fall that you become a better person,” he added. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2023/10/31/vicki-belo-hayden-kho-renew-wedding-vows-on-7th-anniversary-1213"><strong>READ: Vicki Belo, Hayden Kho renew wedding vows on 7th anniversary</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>The doctor to the stars asserted that relationships shouldn’t be a test that couples would need to go through. He advised that they shouldn’t look for faults all the time as their partners could be doing their best and trying to keep them satisfied. </p><p>“Pagka ganun ka, ang hahanapin mo yung mali hindi yung tama. Hindi mo maappreciate ngayon yung tama na ginagawa,” he ended. </p>
