SHARON CUNETA AT KIKO PANGILINAN
PARDON the bilingual conjugation, pero naggu-good-to-be-true-han kami each time Sharon Cuneta expresses na balewala lang sa kanya ang mga banat ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte addressed to her husband Kiko Pangilinan.
Kesyo pabiro lang daw ito, and not be taken seriously. Bilang kanyang “Tatay Digong,” Sharon likens it as a fatherly gesture tantamount to having a strict parent who does not approve of his daughter’s boyfriend.
Ang alam kasi namin sa isang magulang is that of a person who has the broadest of understanding toward his or her child, sinuman ang gustuhin o mapusuan nitong kasamahin o mahalin.
While it may not be easy during the initial stage of his or her child’s relationship, and later marriage ay pasasaan ba’t ang turing din sa karelasyon ng anak is family.
Enough of Sharon’s cover-up for her “Tatay Digong.” While kinship may be compromised in the name of politics, ito pa kayang walang dugo na nag-uugnay sa kanila?
Granting that Sharon looks up to Digong as her father, all the more that she has every reason to harbor ill feelings toward the latter. Naniniwala kami na ang isang tunay na pagmamahal comes in a package deal.
Isantabi na sana muna ang political affairs, dahil itinuring namang tatay ni Sharon ang Presidente even before she married Kiko. Hindi ba’t Digong’s friendship with Sharon’s late mayor-dad goes a long way?
Having that familial seed planted in them a long time ago, walang isyu dapat kung Pangulo si Digong and Kiko who’s on the other side of the political fence.
Imadyinin n’yo na lang ang mga banat at banta kay Kiko, would any spouse feel happy about it considering that the brickbats are coming from a person who Sharon looks up to as her father?
Parang hindi naman yata makatotohanan that Sharon projects and presents herself as the least affected party here. Si Frankie lang ba kung ganu’n ang apektado just because—in the words of Sharon—ay hindi nito naranasang maging malapit sa Presidente?
Mismong si Sharon na ang nagsabi that the last time she spoke and saw Digong ay noon pang May elections. Obvious naman that it was a reconnection of some sort, we bet there were never previous encounters where they would be seen together like a family portrait.
Sarilinin na lang sana ni Sharon ang kanyang mga saloobin rather than make an attempt to justify her not being affected at all by Digong’s tirades against her husband.
The more she dismisses those as mere jokes (not necessarily spoken through Digong’s hat, if he wears one), mas nagkakaroon pa tuloy ng dahilan to stir public doubt.
Ginaganoon na nga naman ang asawa mo yet here you are convincing the universe na biro lang ‘yon?
What if Digong says none of those is a joke kundi he means it, will it still sit well with Sharon?
Kaya nga mas bilib kami sa anak kesa sa ina. Frankie, watever stuff she’s made off, is one such young person who speaks her mind, which should be the case.
Sa maliit man niyang mundong ginagalawan, Frankie is able to exercise democracy tulad din ng napakaraming Pilipino who have grown sick and tired of social if not national foul-ups na isinisisi sa kasalukuyang pamahalaan.
Kung tatay ang tawag ni Sharon kay Digong, we certainly doubt if Frankie can afford to address the latter as “Lolo Digong.”
