CARLA ABELLANA AT GEOFF EIGENMANN
Maraming nanghinayang sa paghihiwalay nina Carla Abellana at Geoff Eigenmann. Inakala kasi ng kanilang mga pamilya, mga kaanak at kaibigan na sa kasalan na mauuwi ang kanilang relasyon.
Pero nu’ng Linggo nga ng hapon, inamin ni Carla sa Startalk ng GMA 7 na tinapos na nila ni Geoff ang halos apat na taon nilang relasyon.
“Before I answer that I just wanna say napakahirap to be on TV siyempre. It’s such a personal struggle, I didn’t want to have to come… you know, I didn’t want to have to come out on TV to be able to say.
“Pero siyempre we are, you know, public figures, our relationship’s also public, though yung mga pinagdadaanan namin very personal. I owe it to the fans na rin to tell the truth, we can’t keep denying or we can’t keep hiding the truth.
“Hindi naman kami puwedeng magsinungaling so… almost four years yung relationship namin ni Geoff. I remember I was the first one pa na nagsabi na, ‘Yes, Geoff and I are officially together!’
“So you know, it’s just right, I believe na ako na rin yung (dapat) magsabi that we’re no longer together,” ang mahabang pahayag ni Carla.
Ano nga ba ang mga rason ng kanilang paghihiwalay? “I wish it were easy, I wish it were just one reason, pero hindi, e. You know Geoff and I are two different people, na there are just so many reasons.
“We don’t share the same values, mas madalas hindi kami nagkakasundo kesa sa nagkakasundo. So you know, mahirap kasi for me—it was the small things talaga, e.
“Small details, small things as compared to the grand gestures, grand anything, it was the small things that contributed to just one big thing.
“We were too different talaga, mas nagka-clash pa kami kesa nagkakasundo kami. So ang daming reasons and I wish puwede kong i-enumerate isa-isa ‘yon pero hindi na lang. Siyempre, I respect Geoff. I respect myself kahit paano pa rin. There are just too many reasons, pero hindi talaga namin kaya na,” litanya pa ng Kapuso leading lady.
Pero nilinaw ni Carla na walang third party involved, ibig sabihin hindi totoong si Kylie Padilla ang dahilan ng break-up, “I want to make it clear na wala talaga. I want to make it clear, I want to clarify na wala. Kung meron man po kayong nababasa or nababalitaan na may nai-involve, wala ho. Ang layo, napakalayo noon sa mga reasons.
“Walang kinalaman ito sa kahit sinong nakatrabaho na namin, nakakatrabaho ngayon, or makakatrabaho pa in the future. It has absolutely nothing to do with anybody else, it’s just Geoff and I talaga,” hirit pa ni Carla.
Kung may natutunan man daw siya sa naging relasyon nila ni Geoff, ito ay ang, “Of how far you can go as a person. Kung hanggang saan mo kayang ibigay…para sa relationship ninyo, para sa taong minamahal mo. Kung hanggang saan kaya ng puso mo. Ang dami—patience was tested, your love for each other, how much you’re willing to sacrifice, ‘yon, ‘yon ‘yon.”
