Tiya Pusit opens up about relationship with 27-year-old boyfriend on ‘Face The People’

Tiya Pusit on 'Face the People'.

It’s already tough for an older man to fall in love with a younger woman. In the case of Freddie Aguilar and 16-year-old Jovie Gatdula Albao, many believed it was against the law. That was until the couple converted to Islam and wed in Muslim rites last week.

Even without legal impediments, May-December affairs are still far from being a picnic, especially when the older party happens to be female. Veteran comedienne Tiya Pusit, now 65 and in a relationship with a 27-year-old man, can certainly attest to that.

“Ang tawag niya sa akin ay Mi. Ang tawag ko naman sa kanya ay Dad… short for Mi-Edad! Mahal na mahal ko si Nathan. Kaya kahit marami ang tutol, wala akong pakialam! Hangga’t masaya ako, itutuloy ko ang pakikipagrelasyon ko sa kaniya!” Tiya Pusit defiantly declared on this Monday’s episode of TV5’s “Face The People”.

In the episode entitled, “Nobyo kong bagets, gusto nilang kalasan ko na: Tama o Mali?”, the comedienne also known as the sister of Nova Villa revealed how she met and eventually hooked up with Nathan Villa, her boyfriend of more than one year.

“Nagkakilala kami sa Facebook, hanggang sa nagkita kami sa Baclaran. Unang pagkikita namin sinabi niya na maganda raw ako sa personal! Niyakap niya agad ako! Siyempre kinilig naman ako! Kumain kami sa Aristocrat at nagsubuan ng lugaw! Nov.15, 2011, umakyat kami sa Baguio, bumili kami ng kalamay, ‘yung sundot kulangot, tapos sa loob pala ay may ring, sabi niya mahal na raw niya ako! Proposal na pala niya ‘yun. Siyempre ako sinagot ko siya na mahal ko rin siya,” she recalled.

But just like in the episode that featured Ka Freddie in the “silya de kunsensya”, Tiya Pusit also encountered people who are opposed to her relationship, including good friend and fellow actress Vangie Labalan.

“Nasaan si Nathan? Eh ayaw nga niyang lumabas dito tapos sasabihin mo mahal ka niya talaga? Kaibigan kita, Pusit, kaya ayokong masaktan ka ulit gaya ng dati. Di ka pa natuto sa lalaking nangloko sa iyo 10 years ago! Mauulit lang din ‘yun! Mag-focus ka sa mga anak mo, huwag sa lalaki! Hindi ka nga matanggap ng pamilya niya kaya itigil mo na! Sexual desire ba ang hanap mo?” Labalan boldly asked.

Pusit retorted that sex is not the focal point of her relationship with Nathan now, especially after doctors had made it clear that it is not good for her health to engage in any sexual activity.

“Sa totoo lang Tita Vangie, sinubukan namin mag-sex ni Nathan pero na-high blood ako because of the excitement at naospital ako. Ang sabi ng doktor, kung gusto ko pang humaba ang buhay ko huwag na akong makipag-sex. Mula noon ay nirespeto ni Nathan ang kalagayan ko. Hayaan ninyo akong maging masaya, wala naman akong ginagawang masama,” she shot back at her friend.

Not everyone, however, has a problem with Pusit’s lovelife. Gay comedian Inday Garutay is one of them.

“Hayaan na natin si Tiya Pusit na lumigaya! Maikli lang ang buhay. Kung doon siya masaya, bakit natin siya pakikialaman? Parang malinaw na tubig ang pag-ibig. Pag may ibang nakikialam saka ito lalabo. Bilang kaibigan, sumuporta muna tayo, tapos kung masaktan siya, saka tayo makialam,” Garutay declared.

How Pusit will resolve her dilemma at the end of the show should be interesting as hosts Gelli de Belen and Tintin Bersola-Babao will also ask life coaches Atty. Andie Joson and Jarret Pulido and the 100 people present in the audience to weigh in on the matter.

The “Face The People” episode airs on TV5 this Monday, November 25 at 4:30PM.
