“What I went through is no joke,” she says. “Grabe ang sakit. Lalo na noong rehab therapy, but I had to do it and endure all the pain. Tinawag ko lahat ng santo sa sobrang sakit, pero kailangang gawin para makalakad uli ako. Now, after two months, I can walk. Even my doctor is surprised sa bilis ng recovery ko. Dapat talaga, malakas ang fighting spirit mo.”
She also used to handle Sheryl Cruz but she dropped her because of complaints about Sheryl’s being unprofessional. Sheryl was interviewed at the “Once Again” presscon and, contrary to rumors that her mom, Rosemarie Sonora, came home to vilify Grace Poe, Sheryl claims Rose is just really here to visit her.
“O di sige,” says Dolor. “Nagtaka lang si Susan Roces, kasi biglang umuwi ang sister niya without even notifying her. Nalaman na lang niya from a friend who called her to say, Alam mo bang narito si Rose? Nandito na pala, hindi man lang siya tinatawagan, so nakakapagtaka, di ba? Kaya nga kumalat na magpapa-presscon sila para siraan si Grace Poe, na hindi surprising kasi ginawa na ni Sheryl noon. Kung may pasabog man sila, okay lang naman yun. Pero kung hindi naman siya narito para siraan si Grace, e di salamat. Sabi nga ni Susan mismo, mahal pa rin niya ang sister at pamangkin niya dahil pamilya sila.”
Sen. Grace Poe herself officially states: “We’re still a family and, as a family, we should also love and respect each other. Yung mga naninira kay Tita Rose at kay Sheryl, tigilan nyo na sila. Wala naman silang kinalaman sa politics so huwag na nyo silang idamay. Basta nagpapasalamat ako kay Tita Rose and kay Sheryl na they give importance to our family. Ganoon din naman kami sa kanila. Tutol man sila o hindi sa candidacy ko, hindi na importante, basta pamilya pa rin kami and I respect them. The campaign is only until May 7, but family is for a lifetime, habambuhay yan.”
