In a video that the 26-year-old social media influencer uploaded on her Twitter account, she explained that she wasn’t telling everyone to not date if they don’t have money but rather don’t date people who don't have a driving force in life.

“Mag date kayo ng someone na may drive, mag-date kayo ng someone na kayang dalhin ang sarili, yung di mangungutang at aasa sa inyo. 'Yun lang po iyon, period,” she said.

Mimiyuuuh expressed how sad she felt after seeing hate posts about her on social media. Some netizens called her different names such as matapobre for her answer in the interview.

The social media star shared her experience when she was still facing financial difficulties in the past. She stated that she never dated during those times since she was focusing on herself and her family.

“Galing po ako sa hirap, opo, pero nakipag-date po ba ako noong wala akong pera? Hindi po. Maybe because walang nagkakagusto sa akin during that time, but at the same time, alam ko po kasi yung priority ko,” she said.

“Priority ko pong ayusin ang buhay ko, priority ko po ang family ko, priority ko ang career ko, at priority ko pong gawing buo ang sarili ko bago po ako magdagdag ng ibang tao sa buhay ko,” she continued.

She continued to share that netizens who took offense with her post could still date despite having no money but explained that “relationships are responsibilities” at the end of the day.

“Opo, pwede niyo naman po talagang i-date kahit sinong gusto niyo. Pero kung ikaw po mismo ay hindi mo kayang masustentuhan 'yung sarili mo, 'yung basic needs and wants mo, magdadagdag ka pa ba ng another responsibility? Opo, relationships are responsibilities," she shared.

Mimiyuuuh reminded her followers about standards and to know their worth when it comes to dating as well.

“At the end of the po, buhay mo naman 'yan eh. Sige, mag-date ka ng mga broke na tao. Opo, i-date niyo 'yan. Tapos kainin niyo 'yung mga words of affirmation ninyo, opo. Kimmy!" she quipped.
