Maricar Reyes didn't mention any names but she made clear her decision to forgive those who have wronged her doesn't mean she has also decided to simply forget what they have done.

She related in a social media post, "Forgiveness is not forgetting. Yung babalik kayo sa dati as if nothing happened. Not true. Tingin mo nakalimutan ko na lahat ng masama na nangyari sa akin? Hindi ah..."

She maintained, however, "The difference is, hindi na ganu’n kabigat pag naaalala ko sila. It’s because I remember that I learned to adjust."

This, Maricar, shared, is among things she learned about forgiving following the "crisis" that engulfed her several years ago, something that she has since shared in a book.

According to the actress, she is sharing what she learned about the process in an effort to inspire others.

“Forgiveness is the best beauty product in the world," she said. “Pero bakit ang hirap magpatawad? I think it’s because we have some misconceptions about forgiveness.”

Apart from forgiveness being separate from forgetting, she added, "Forgiveness does not mean na wala nang consequence."

She explained, "Kung minali ka ng isang tao, kailangan niya harapin ang consequences ng mali niya kahit pinatawad mo na siya."

“Alam mo, years before my crisis, I told a lot of little lies and I never got caught. Yun nangyari sa akin, I think it’s partially because of all these lies. Nagpatong patong buong buhay ko tapos sumabog na lang siya sa mukha ko. It was my consequence for lying to myself and to others."

Maricar also reminded followers: “Forgiveness does not mean I am better than the other person. Yung thought na, ‘Never ko gagawin yung ginawa niya sa akin.' 'I am not as bad as that person, bakit ko siya patatawarin?’ Ito yung pinakamahirap. Kasi feeling ko mas mabait ako dun sa kagalit ko. But when I really took time to look at my own heart, I realize I wasn’t as clean as I thought I was. Hindi ako ganun kalinis. At minsan nakakalimutan ko yun pag may nagkakamali sa akin."

She went on.

“Forgiveness is not a one time, big time thing. Proseso siya. The deeper the hurt, the longer the process. So please be patient with yourself, don’t stop trying. Pag naramdaman mo na yung bitterness at yung pait sa puso mo, forgive ulit. Remember ulit. Nagkakamali ka din. Hihingi ka rin ng kapatawaran minsan.

“Remember ulit na haharapin niya ulit yung consequences ng pagkakamali niya. If not today, balang araw. And don’t forget, adjust your relationship. Para hindi ka na paulit ulit na nasasaktan. Learn.”

She ended, “Keep doing this until it becomes a habit. Over time it will get easier. Siyempre gusto ko lahat tayo maganda. At hindi nakaka-beauty ang pagiging bitter.”
