Raymond Bagatsing Divorced Wife In U.S. After Getting A Green Card?

RAYMOND BAGATSING guested live in “Showbiz Central” and admitted he has separated from Cora Pastrana, a 62-year old writer he married two years ago in Los Angeles. “Four months lang kami nagsama. We’ve divorced and I’ve moved on. E, ako talagang biglang nagpapakasal tapos nagdi-divorce.” He’s referring to his previous marriage to Lara Fabregas that also ended in separation.

Did you marry her to get a green card? “No, of course not. Ganun talaga. You make decisions that akala mo tama then you realize, meron palang mas ibang tamang decision. She’s my friend and ang magkakaibigan, nagtutulungan yan. Now, may green card na ako. Pag wala kang green card, di ka puede magtrabaho doon and si Cora ay isang kaibigan na tumutulong. Gusto ko talagang makipagsapalaran sa Hollywood. Si Charice nandiyan na, so kahit ano gagawin ko para makapasok sa Hollywood para maipakita ang kagalingan ng Pinoy. I have a new girlfriend, a Mexican American from North Carolina, two years na kami. She’s a songwriter. Pareho kaming nakikipagsaparalaran ngayon sa Hollywood.”

It turns out she was with Raymond then and was called on cam, Vanessa Cortez. “I brought her para makilala niya ang kultura ng Pilipino at malaman kung makakapag-adjust siya rito.”
