MANILA, Philippines – Coleen Garcia sees herself settling down with Billy Crawford, only it’s not yet the right time for them to get married.
“Gusto ko siya pakasalan siyempre, I wouldn’t be in a relationship with him unless I plan to be with that person forever,” she said in an interview on Thursday. “Si Billy naman naiintindihan niya rin naman ako, marami pa akong gusto tapusin sa buhay ko, I want to finish what I started.”
The Kapamilya actress is happy that she’s able to push her acting career this year, which she felt was neglected for the past year. Add to that, she is going back to school next month.
She’s just thankful that her boyfriend understands and supports her priorities and dreams in life.
In a previous interview, Billy said that he wants to propose to Coleen soon but understands that “ang dami niya pang pangarap na gustong maabot.”

“I think that’s the advantage also with age gap,” she said, pertaining to her ten-year age gap with Billy. “Kasi marami na rin siyang napatunayan, marami na rin siyang pinagdaanan and he’s gonna give me the time to achieve what he already have achieved.”
Coleen will turn 23 this September 24, and she’s already planning an outreach program with her friends that she’s been doing for years now.
