Ken Katigbak (30)

I’ve been at MuchMusic for a year and a half. I love my job—it’s my priority right now, just furthering my career. I was a producer back home in the Philippines for a couple of years, then I came here on holiday for a few days to visit my then-girlfriend, and moved here seven months later. We met in university in the Philippines, and while we’re no longer together, we’re still good friends. That was my last real relationship, six years ago. Right now, I’m not really dating—I just don’t have the time. I work a lot, especially closer to deadline. When I’m working, I sometimes stay from nine a.m. until three a.m. When I’m free, I just hang out with friends, have some beer, some good conversation. I don’t really go to singles bars, and I hate clubs because I’m long past going out all night and getting completely wasted and throwing up. Most of my friends are in their mid- to late 20s and are in long-term relationships or married. I’m single, but it doesn’t mean I’m sad or depressed, though I admit I do get those nights when I think, “Here I am at home by myself.” Or I call somebody to hang out and they say, “Let me ask my wife first.” It’s funny—when I was in high school, I thought I’d be married by 25 with a kid. My parents married really young—my mom was 18. I couldn’t afford it right now. I’m still building a new life for myself, and I’m also supporting my family back home. My ideal woman would have to have the same kinds of interests and enjoy the same things that I do. I want all the love she can give me, because I will give her a lot of love.
