Veteran actress-singer Sharon Cuneta finally broke her silence on rumors that her marriage with Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan is on the rocks.
Cuneta took to social media on Sunday, Mother’s Day, and belied speculations that her husband is having an affair with Sen. Risa Hontiveros.
“There is no truth to the rumors going around that Kiko and Sen. Risa Hontiveros are having an affair (or held hands). Some people are evil. They have nothing better to do than ruin people’s lives,” Cuneta said in a Facebook post.
She added that if her husband has had or will ever have an affair, she would most definitely not discuss it in public.
“Kung noon pa, ngayon at bukas ay mapapatunayan kong may iba pang babae sa buhay ni Kiko, ito lang ang masasabi ko: Lahat ng tinahimik ko noong nasira ang first marriage ko, dahil ang pagpapalaki ng Mommy ko sa amin ay ang huwag pag-usapan sa publiko ang dapat ay pribado, at personal,” she said.
(If in the past, today or tomorrow there is proof that Kiko has another woman, this is all I have to say: All my silence when my first marriage ended is because my mom taught us not to talk about private, personal stuff in public.)
The actress added that just like her father whom she described as having a “Master’s Degree in the school of hard knocks,” she is also street-smart.
“Do not even THINK about putting one over me. I shall NEVER allow it again. So if I am indeed going through anything now, IT DOES NOT INVOLVE A THIRD PARTY,” Cuneta said.
Cuneta earlier this month decided to take a short break from showbiz.
MONEY PROBLEMS
Cuneta also discussed how she is going through some financial troubles and that she has “no one in the world” to help her.
“I owe so much money (on very good investments not stupid stuff) and I have NO ONE IN THE WORLD TO HELP ME. I am probably the poorest, most cash-strapped billionaire you know (!). Etc., etc., etc. So much more, and you don’t know half of it,” she said.
The actress also lamented how she has been “used” and “pushed to her limits” yet continues to work.
“I am tired of being all things to all people, and I realize no one has really done or been the same for me. I think there are only a few of us who are like that,” she said.
“I should be retired and living off the fruits of my labor now, but instead, I work like a horse when what I should be doing is working only on what I wish to and only when I want to,” she added.
However, “The Voice Teens” coach said she remains grateful to God “for His unbelievable blessings and am trying my best to be a good steward of them.”
She also assured her fans that she is fine and that she will be coming home soon.
“Thanks so much for your love, support encouraging words. Now please don’t worry about me na. I am okay. I always am,” she said.
Pangilinan for his part, wrote a heartwarming message for his wife on Mother’s Day.
“Know that as you go through your own life journey I’ll be here beside you & even if I may not be able to solve a number of problems you face, my shoulders’ll always be here for you to lean on & my arms will always be available for big hugs should you feel the need for them. Always,” he said in a tweet.
I love you dearly. Happy Mothers Day! @sharon_cuneta12
