Papa Obet reveals his advice for moving on

Barangay LS Forever disc jockey and recording artist Papa Obet has some wise words for everyone who wants to move on from a past love.

He said in an online interview that his radio listeners' most frequently asked questions are usually about moving on.

"Sobrang storya na binibigay sa 'kin, Monday to Friday, iba-ibang topic binibigay sa 'kin. Pero ang tumatatak sa isip ko laging tinatanong ng mga tao, 'Paano mag-move on?'"

Papa Obet narrates his advice with empathy, "Ang lagi naming sinasabi, it takes time to move on. 'Wag mong pilitin 'yung sarili mo, kasi kapag pinilit mo mas lalo kang masasaktan. Darating 'yung time na gigising ka na okay ka na. It takes talaga to move on, 'yun lagi naming pinapayo namin."

The Kapuso DJ also revealed that many of his listeners reach out to update him on how their situations progressed.

He recalled, "Noong host pa ako ng 'Talk to Papa' before, two years ago, kasi iba na 'yung host ngayon, maraming bumabalik at nag-me-message, 'Papa Obet, nagkatuluyan kami' o 'Papa Obet, ginawa ko ito at okay na ako ngayon' or sinunod nila 'yung payo ko at naka-move on na sila. Maraming bumabalik. Maraming nag-me-message at nagpapasalamat."

Overall, Papa Obet believes in giving helpful advice but letting the listeners decide for themselves on what to do.

He said, "'Yung payo ko naman hindi ko pinipilit na ito ang gawin mo, kung ano 'yung alam mo sa sarili mo na nagpapagaan ng loob mo at magiging okay ka, 'yun ang gawin mo. Ganun lang 'yung mga payo.
