Elijah Canlas gives advice to those dealing with a breakup

Elijah Canlas has simple yet wise advice for those going through a breakup.

On the sidelines of the advanced screening and press conference for the film “Edjop,” the award-winning actor said to take it easy.

“Just take it day by day, take it easy, and everything will be okay at some point,” he shared in a mix of Filipino and English.

Meanwhile, Elijah has been busy with work "for the past couple of years," clarifying that his being busy is not because of the breakup.

“So, I don’t think there’s a specific reason. It could be even my grief with my brother. Three years, but you know, it never goes away,” he said.

Elijah also expressed his gratitude for all the work he has been getting.

“I will always remember the times when I was not doing anything. I even quit. It went to the point where I quit acting, so being in this spot, I have to make the most out of it,” Elijah said.

Elijah recently confirmed that he and his long-term girlfriend, Miles Ocampo, had broken up.

Miles and Elijah confirmed their relationship in May 2022 and broke up in 2023.

A year later, the two were reportedly back together after being spotted at various events.

Elijah stars as Edgar “Edjop” Jopson in the film “Edjop,” which chronicles his life as an activist during the Martial Law period. Directed by Katski Flores, it premieres in cinemas on September 16. —CDC, GMA News
