Rufa Mae reveals plan to return to the Philippines this year
Comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto recently appeared on 'Tunay na Buhay' and shared some life updates to host Pia Arcangel.
The former Bubble Gang star and her family are now in the United States, where she spent most of the pandemic.
So much has happened since then and her family has already moved into their new home in the U.S.

Rufa Mae said, “Okay naman ang buhay Amerikana. Char. (laughs) Nose bleed pa rin at saka home sick.”
She also admitted that she has become more domesticated ever since she stayed in the U.S.
“Oo, ako lahat. Kaya wala ka na talagang time para sa kung anu-ano pa.
“Alam mo 'yon? Kung 'di lang importante at tsaka trabaho, hindi ka dapat umano pa, kasi kung hindi magfo-fall down 'yung bahay.
“Hindi pala madali malaki bahay dito. Three bedrooms, 'yung alam mo 'yon, 'yung simple lang, hindi kagaya noon.
“Sa Philippines kasi may taga-linis.”
Rufa Mae also shared the highs and lows of motherhood.
“Parang wala na kong masayadong panahon sa sarili ko.
“'Tapos, siyempre pinakamasaya ako, pinaka the best feeling, pero at the same time, pinakamasakit din kapag, halimbawa, may nagkasakit or umiiyak siya.
“Sabi ko, ganito pala maging nanay ang sarap, ang saya, pero ang sakit din.”
The actress then revealed that it wasn't in her plans to stay this long in the U.S., but because of the pandemic she was forced to stay with her family there.
“Two weeks lang talaga dahil nga birthday niya (Athena), third birthday.
“Dapat may gagawin akong soap opera diyan sa GMA.
“So, sabi ko, kung soap 'yon, malamang three months 'yon or six months.
“Sabi ko siguro hindi ako madalas makakauwi sa Amerika.
“So, sabi ko mag-stay kaya muna ako.”
Then, two days before Rufa Mae was scheduled to fly back to the Philippines, the lockdown began and she had to change her plans.
“So sabi ko, wala eh, wala ring magagawa diyan, so ituloy ko na lang 'yung dito sa Land of Opportunity, sabi nila.”
However, Rufa Mae revealed that she's planning to come home to the Philippines this year to take care of some things.
“Alam mo, may brand new house ako na hindi ko na nakita.
“Five bedrooms, ang ganda-ganda tapos wala... hindi na nauwian.
“Pero, definitely this year, uuwi ako. Gusto ko bumalik para ayusin ko 'yung buhay ko diyan.”
