SINO kaya kina Heaven Peralejo at Ylona Garcia na parehong na-link kay Markus Paterson ang dahilan kung bakit nadisgrasya ang aktor sa motorsiklo noong 2018 sa may Roxas Boulevard?
Tandang-tanda namin ito dahil dapat ay kasama si Markus sa pelikulang “G!” na entry ng Cineko Productions sa 3rd Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino pero dahil nga sa aksidenteng iyon ay hindi na siya nakasama.
Laking panghihinayang ng direktor na si Dondon Santos dahil bagay din sana siya sa pelikula kasama sina Jameson Blake, Paulo Angeles, Mark Oblea, Kira Balinger at McCoy de Leon.
Sa pakikipagkuwentuhan ni Markus kay Kyle Echarri sa vlog nito sa YouTube ay napag-usapan nila ang tungkol sa nasabing aksidente. Inamin ni Markus na sinadya niya ito dahil sa sama ng loob sa isang babae na hindi nabanggit ang pangalan.
Kaya naintriga kami kung sino ang babaeng ito dahil nasabi ni Kyle na ito rin ang dahilan kung bakit for a while ay nagkaroon ng isyu ang pagkakaibigan nila ni Markus at sa bandang huli ay inihingi ito ng sorry ng aktor.
Nabanggit pa ni Markus na iyon ang pinakamadilim na bahagi ng buhay niya at nagsisisi siya kung bakit nagising pa siya kinabukasan.
“Physically, I crashed my bike. I put myself in a situation where I broke my leg. I shattered it to the point where I could have been jello. It was jello.
“It was a time in my life that was so dark. When I woke up in the hospital with a broken leg and a shattered kneecap, I woke up and I was like, ‘Damn, I’m still alive?
“I never really get in-depth about it but depression is not something to mess with before I experienced it myself, I thought it was just some psychological thing that people can just get over easily but it’s not.
“It’s something that gets a hold of your everyday life. When you wake up in the morning it’s in the back of your mind. It becomes the shadow of your shadow and you can’t get over it until you face it and that was my mistake, I couldn’t face it. I was in a dark hole for a long time,” kuwento ng boyfriend ni Janella Salvador.
At dito na binanggit ni Markus na may isyu sila ng ex-girlfriend niya, “Her family was calling me every day, on viber leaving messages, and these were her parents. Calling me every day, letting me know how much of a lowlife I was. I know I made mistakes now, but back then, I didn’t. I was just trying to be happy, and at that time, she made me happy.
“We had a great time together, we made mistakes. There’s no way to blame just her, if it was anyone’s fault it was mine. I was the guy and I was the guy that was older, I should have known, I should have known who we were hurting at that time,” dire-diretsong kuwento ng binata.
At dahil nga sa nangyari ay sadya niyang pinaharurot ang kanyang motorsiklo, “I was committed to not waking up the next morning, and I was disappointed when I did wake up the next morning,” sambit nito.
Sa nangyaring aksidente ay nabanggit pa ni Markus na nabalitang lasing siya kaya nangyari ‘yun na hindi naman daw totoo, pero since ganu’n ang lumabas na balita ay hindi na lang siya kumibo dahil mas uunahin pa ba niyang mag-explain gayung hindi na nga maganda ang sitwasyon niya.
At ngayong naka-recover na si Markus ay natanong siya ni Kyle kung paano siya naka-bounce back at ano masasabi niya sa mga nakararanas din ng tulad ng nangyari sa kanya?
“Just appreciate what you have there’s nothing more precious than the life you’re living right now.
“Just know that there are people out there who love you, that would need you, and that’s what I didn’t understand. I thought that I could just give it up because there was nothing else for me in this life, but I was wrong. I had so much more to live for, and you do too.
“If you’re thinking about ending your life, don’t. I’m so grateful for the mistakes that I’ve made. I’m so grateful for the second chance I’ve been given,” pahayag ng aktor.
