Gabbi Garcia is GMA’s big bet for stardom in 2018
Unlike other women her age who are already committed to their partners, Glaiza says she is still in search for the right man. She swears she is not seeing anyone and not bothered that no one is pursuing her at the moment.
“I know the [right] man for me will come. I believe that God is preparing someone who is best for me, the right man at the right time, [in] God’s perfect time,” Glaiza told Showbuzz after wrapping up her “Kung(di)man” concert at the Music Museum last week.
A lot of guys pursued her and there were those whom she really liked, going out on dates with them. She had relationship with some albeit cautiously because she would not go deeper into intimacy—not because she plays prude but it is just simply against her belief of remaining pure until she is married.
“I don’t want to judge other people but that’s my belief. Isn’t it beautiful to preserve your purity and have it as gift to your husband? Call me old fashioned but that’s me, that’s how I see it,” she explained.
Instead of sulking over the fact that no one is courting her, Glaiza is channeling her effort and energy into her singing career. She performed to she performed there.

Glaiza’s energy remained high even after the concert. Her only complaint was she was so hungry. While eating, she could not help but express her happiness over the success of the concert, so inspired that she was already conceptualizing her next gig.
“As early as now, I already know what I want for my next concert. I’m so excited about the concept I have in my mind. Next year panamanyun,” she enthused. Bb.
