Cristine Reyes
NAGING bukas ang aktres na si Cristine Reyes tungkol sa bahagi ng kanyang childhood kung saan pansamantala siyang pinaampon ng kanyang ina.
Sa interview niya sa ABS-CBN broadcaster na si Karen Davila, inamin niya na noong bata siya ay nahiwalay siya sa mga kapatid niya nang ipaalaga siya sa iba ng kanilang ina.
“My mom, she was going through a phase in her life where she had to go to the States, leave all her kids, all of us to somebody else. Ako lang nahiwalay, I didn’t know may mga kapatid ko,” pagbabahagi ni Cristine.
Noong mga panahong ‘yun ay hindi pa raw alam ng aktres na kapatid niya si Ara Mina.

Lahad ni Cristine, “Noong kinuha ako ng mom ko, I was already six or seven but she told me from time to time when I was a baby pa, she’d get me daw pero siyempre I don’t know na.
“Ang recollection ko was when she got me. I was around six [or] seven years old. Ito I wasn’t telling anybody. It was a major thing pala kasi for the longest time mom got me, hindi ako nagsasalita when I was a child. Never.”
Ani Cristine, hindi naman daw siya totally hindi makasalita pero pinili na lang niyang huwag.
“Hindi naman ako ‘yung makasalita but I shut down when she got me. It was years, not just months, years na hindi ako nagsasalita noong bata ako.
“Nagsasalita na lang ako kapag nasa school ako, kapag babalik ako ng bahay, quiet ulit ako, ‘di ako nagsasalita. Kapag kakausapin ako ng mga tao sa bahay, magna-nod lang ako,” kuwento pa ni Cristine.
Pag-amin rin niya, naging “problematic” ang kanyang ina noon.
“I would say she was very problematic that she couldn’t us handle, [her] children, to take care of so I think that’s why she decided to have somebody else to take care of us. She was actually unattentive kasi nga she wasn’t able to deal with things,” sey pa ni Cristine.
Mabuti na lang raw ay kahit na ganoon ay may suporta pa rin siyang nakukuha mula sa kanyang adoptive family.
“I went to school not having her around and my adoptive family was very supportive naman so they go [to school events] if my mom wouldn’t make it.
“Showbiz naman, when I entered the business, ako lang ‘yung walang bantay, but ‘yun nga, sometimes naman my adopted family would go,” kuwento pa ni Cristine.
