Marami-rami rin akong sugod moments nung bagets days ko na natatawa na lang ako ngayon kapag naalala ko,” she recalled.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/8/29/dj-chacha-bids-farewell-to-abs-cbn-building-forever-kapamilya-1309"><strong>READ: DJ Chacha bids farewell to ABS-CBN building: ‘Forever Kapamilya’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>This time, however, she admitted that she was too exhausted to deal with the drama, citing the demands of work and responsibilities at home, including caring for her three children. “Unahin ko pa ba yung inis nila sa dami ng trabaho at tatlong bata na kailangan asikasuhin?,” she asked. “I found myself simply TOO TIRED FOR THE DRAMA.”</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/6/6/dj-chacha-celebrates-her-17th-anniversary-on-air-i-m-still-in-love-with-radio-0919"><strong>READ: DJ Chacha celebrates her 17th anniversary on air: &#x27;I&#x27;m still in love with radio&#x27;</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Instead of reacting negatively and engaging in conflict, the radio host said she chose to understand the people involved. She pointed out that perhaps they had too much time or were simply bored.  “So, what did I do? I took a long, slow breath and I CHOSE TO UNDERSTAND THEM INSTEAD OF FIGHT THEM. They must have so much time on their hands to gossip.”  </p><p>DJ Chacha also acknowledged the possibility that she may have unknowingly offended them, saying that we sometimes tend to be unaware of our actions. “Oh baka rin naman I truly did something to unknowingly offend them. Minsan may actions tayo na akala natin okay lang, sa iba offensive na pala. In the end, their actions are a reflection of them, not me.”</p><p>She ended her post by emphasizing how age redefines the concept of peace and the power of silence during tough times. “Age teaches you that you don&#x27;t have to entertain every bit of negativity. I chose silence. I chose not to engage. Because when you finally reach this beautiful stage of maturity, you learn that not every offense is worth your peace. You realize your energy is a precious resource, and it’s better spent cultivating the blessings right in front of you… the work you love, the tranquility of your home and the few true souls who genuinely value and uplift you,” she realized.</p><p>“When you&#x27;re older, you learn that staying silent is often the most powerful response. I&#x27;m choosing to save my strength and energy for the people and moments that truly matter,” she ended.  </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/4/24/dj-chacha-recovers-from-injury-you-re-not-25-anymore-1539"><strong>READ: DJ Chacha recovers from injury: ‘You’re not 25 anymore’</strong></a></div><div>     </div><p>Meanwhile, many of her followers and friends supported her through encouraging messages, while some even tried to respond with humor.  </p><p>“Ako ba to?? Ako ba toooo???😂😂😂,” jokingly commented by her <em>Lecheng Pag-ibig To! </em>podcast co-host, Sam YG.</p><p>“Abangan sa <em>From The Heart </em>on YouTube HAHAHAH char. Peace of mind always ALL WAYS,” said a netizen, referencing to DJ Chacha’s own YouTube show.  </p><p>The former Kapamilya DJ did not disclose any names of people whom the post pertained to.</p><div><br/></div><p>By Alyana Cabuhat De Guzman  </p>
