Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma shared that singer-composer Maegan Aguilar is recovering and finding normalcy in life. She appealed to the public to give her a chance.

"I would like to ask the people to give Maegan a chance. She's the kind of person who has been through so much," said  Kuh when she talked about Maegan during a Zoom session for her upcoming concert, 'I Love OPM #angNatatangingGetaway' at Hacienda Isabella in Indang, Cavite, on Sept. 23.

Kuh said Maegan will be one of the guests during the "OPM" show, aside from balladeer Marco Sison and her daughter Isabella Gonzalez. She mentioned that Maegan has faced many challenges but is willing to improve.

"So nalihis siya ng landas. But I believe she's good enough that she's willing to change, and very much so, I believe that God is on her side, especially kung tutulungan natin siya. Mas ma-i-inspired natin siya to continue her artistry.

(So she deviated from the path. But I believe she's good enough that she's willing to change, and very much so, I believe that God is on her side, especially if we help her. We can inspire her to continue her artistry.)

"Isa pa naman siyang compositor. Sayang! Maraming mga composers and artists na nagkakaproblema sa drugs and some of them have died kasi walang tumulong sa kanila. I wish that I was already a Christian when my other very close friend na musikero rin got into drugs. A musician I know was into drugs before when another close friend of mine helped this person. He was able to bounce back. 

(She is a composer. Too bad! There are many composers and artists who have problems with drugs and some of them have died because no one helped them. I wish that I was already a Christian when my very close friend who is also a musician got into drugs. A musician I know was into drugs before when another close friend of mine helped this person. He was able to bounce back.)

"Satan is creating havoc in people's lives, destroying families and young people's lives. Maraming nagpapakamatay because families are broken. If my family is not together yet, I'm believing and believing for, you know, restoration because that is God's will. But is God's time yet, or will it ever happen? Only God knows. 

"God's will be done. Pero maraming broken family. And kakaunti pa naman ang psychotherapist, kakaunti lang ang makakatulong na walang bayad kasi ang mga bayad sa ganyan mahal. So paano yung mga mahihirap? And then, there's the problem of human trafficking. Yung mga places of prostitution na-lu-lure nila yung girls na maging prostitutes," said Kuh.

(God's will be done. But there are many broken families. And there are still very few psychotherapists. Only a few can afford them because the fees are so expensive. So what about the poor? And then, there's the problem of human trafficking. Those places of prostitution that lure the girls to become prostitutes.)

Kuh talked about the struggles of Maegan, one of five children of legendary OPM singer Freddie Aguilar.

"Marami siyang challenges like problem with her goiter, other health problems. Kasi inabuso nya yung katawan niya eh. Pero she's getting healed. Mas maaliwalas na yung mukha niya.

(She has many challenges like problems with her goiter, other health problems. Because she abused her body. But she's getting healed. Her face is glowing.)

"I put her in the show because she wanted to share a new composition called 'Ama.' Ang ganda ng kanta. It's my way of encouraging her kasi parang nasa sanctuary lang siya at yung lang ang ginagawa niya.

(I put her in the show because she wanted to share a new composition called 'Ama.' The song is beautiful. It's my way of encouraging her because it's like she's in a sanctuary and that's all she does.)

"She went through a lot. Sabi niya she used to sleep in the streets. Kasi wala siyang mapuntahan. Naiintindihan ko yung ganyang buhay eh. Lalo na yung nag-umpisang Christian tapos nalihis. I've been a Christian for years and I understand the process that God allows in the life of Christians only for us to learn more about holiness, malinis na buhay.

(She went through a lot. She said she used to sleep in the streets. Because she had nowhere to go. I understand that kind of life. Especially the one who started as a Christian and then deviated. I've been a Christian for years and I understand the process that God allows in the life of Christians only for us to learn more about holiness, clean life.)

"Mapapalo muna tayo minsan para tumino eh, di ba? Ako napalo ako sobra. Pero mabilis akong mag. catch up. Alam ko na eh. Natuto na ako ng takot sa Diyos. Kaya hindi na ako natatakot.

(We go through many challenges and realize it will make us better people, right? I've been beaten a lot. But I'm quick to catch up. I know that. I've learned to fear God. That's why I'm not afraid anymore.)

"May mga nagsasabi na sa akin naku mag-ingat ka kay Maegan kasi baka mamaya hindi niya magustuhan yung tulong mo sa kanya iba ang gawinn niya. I'm not afraid of that kasi kaya kong kausapin si Maegan and I believe she is a good person and desires to have a better life like all of us. 

(Some people are telling me to be careful with Maegan. I'm not afraid of that because I can talk to Maegan and I believe she is a good person and desires to have a better life like all of us.)

"So I've been telling Maegan, 'sundin mo lang yung sinasabi ng Diyos, alam ko na ibe-blessed ka niya uli. She's very receptive. I feel the change in her," the OPM icon said.

(So I've been telling Maegan, 'just follow what God says, I know He will bless you again. She's very receptive. I feel the change in her.)

Kuh recalled she met Maegan when she was in her 20s. The "Till I Met You" singer said she plans for Maegan to reunite with her father "but not now."

She urged Maegan to apologize to Sen. Raffy Tulfo, who wanted to help her. Earlier, Maegan slammed Tulfo when she tested positive during a drug test conducted by the Raffy Tulfo In Action team.

"Sabi ko bumalik ka kay Tulfo at mag-sorry ka sa kanya. I know nakakahiya yung mga ginawa mo pero that's nothing to be ashamed about dahil napako na ni Lord yung lahat ng kahihiyan na ginawa natin sa cross kaya wala na tayong dapat ikahiya na."
