Someone quipped it must have been because he’s promoting a movie, “Status: It’s Complicated”, and a new soap, “Honesto”. “May ‘Honesto’ siya, so nagpaka-honest na siya,” says a newshen.
“Ayokong isipin yun, ayokong magka-bad blood between us kasi ngayon, nag-uusap naman kami for our son Aki. I need to respect him for the sake of Aki.”
Was she hurt that he’s the first to admit their breakup? “Not naman hurt. Na-realized ko lang na puede naman palang pag-usapan, bakit noon ayaw nila. Na-realized ko ring tama pala ang decision kong kami na lang dalawa ni Aki.”
Did he really try to reconcile? “He did. I considered it kasi, sino ba naman ang ayaw sa buo ang pamilya nyo? Pero ayoko na ng balikan, e. Hindi ganun kadali. Napagod na rin ako.” It was also reported that Paulo Avelino tried to commit suicide after their breakup.
Why? “Naging napakahirap ng sitwasyon ko noon. Bawal akong banggitin siya.”
Didn’t they agree on it mutually? “Noong sabihin niya sa’king ganun dapat, nagkausap na sila ng mga nagpapatakbo sa career niya. Tinanggap ko na lang. Ni ayaw nga niya kaming banggitin ng anak niya sa interviews sa kanya. Ako naman, lagi ko na lang sinisikap na intindihin siya, na para yun sa career niya. Ang bait ko kaya.”
Was she hurt when he won as Urian best actor and he didn’t acknowledge her and Aki in his acceptance speech? It took a while before she answered. “Ayoko na sanang balikan yang mga yan. Tapos na, e. But then, wini-wish ko talaga na sana naging mas open siya, mas proud siya, kahit di na sa’kin kundi para sa bata.”
And their son is the reason why she reportedly threw a tantrum when interviewed by some reporters in “Sunday All Stars”? “It was an ambush interview. Ang sabi sa’kin, tungkol lang sa Halloween ang itatanong, so I agreed. Kaso, biglang ipinasok yung anak ko. Okay lang daw ba sa’kin na yung mga libreng oras lang niya ang binibigay sa anak namin. I was so hurt for Aki, kasi I recalled lahat-lahat ng pinagdaanan ko for my son. Hindi nila alam kung ano ang naging experiences ko for him. Nanganak ako sa States, ako lang mag-isa. Iniuwi ko na lang dito. Nang ipaliwanag ko nga kay Aki na hindi na kami ng papa niya, he hugged me and kissed. I was so touched. He’s 3 years old. I don’t know kung naiintindihan niya talaga. Right now, alam na niyang iba na yung house niya sa house ng papa niya. Kasi dinadalaw na lang siya o inilalabas para isama sa Timezone. When he grows up at mapanood niya yung mga interview sa’min sa Youtube, I don’t know how he’d react.”
How about the rumor that she was seen with JC De Vera in a social function recently and they refused to be photographed together? “Sa opening yun ng massage lounge sa The Fort ni Kat Ilacad. Nagkita lang kami dun as she’s our mutual friend. Pero wala namang nagsabi o nagtanong sa’kin na kukunan kami ng picture together. Kung ako tinanong nila, I would’ve said yes. Hindi naman kami talaga ni JC.”
What about her and Renz Fernandez who’s her co-star in “Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko”? “Hindi rin. Renz is so nice to everyone, not just to me.”
Was she hurt when Paulo admitted he’s courting KC Concepcion? “No, si KC yun, maganda, matalino. Kung magiging sila talaga, I will be very happy for them, basta huwag lang niya pababayaan si Aki. Puedeng hindi kami naging perfect for each other, but sana, maging perfect mom and dad kami for Aki.”
