Sa presscon pa rin ng Twogether Again ay hindi napigilang ma­ging emosyonal ni Pops Fer­nandez nang mapag-usapan ang anak ni Martin Nievera kay Katrina Ojeda na si Santino.

Last Christmas ay nagsa­ma-sama silang lahat – (Pops, Martin and their kids, Ram & Robin, Katrina and son, Santino) na first time nang­yari kaya nata­nong si Pops kung paano niya kinaya ang moving on process pati na ang makaharap si Katrina.

Hindi naman lingid sa showbiz na si Katrina ang itinutu­rong third party sa hiwalayan nina Pops at Martin.

“I don’t think I’m gonna be a nor­mal human being if ga­no­on ka­dali. But I think like I said, time heals a lot of wounds,” pa­hayag ni Pops.

At dito na nga naging emos­yonal si Pops nang mabanggit si Santino.

“When you see your life and you know that… for me kasi, I’m okay, I’m doing quite well. I’m blessed, of course, with my two boys. Parang nawala na talaga ‘yung galit ko… kung ano man ‘yun.

“The other factor, when I saw San­tino, such a sweet kid. I think that totally changed my whole… ‘yung pananaw ko talaga. So, I said everything has to be okay, and it is,” sey ni Concert Queen.

Last Christmas was very memorable sa kanilang lahat dahil sa pagsasa­ma-sama nila, especially for the 3 kids.

“I’m happy to say, for the very first time, our Christmas, not quite normal yet, but somehow we made it worked. I wan­ted the boys to be together, and they did, and I think they had a great time,” sey pa ng ex-wife ni Martin.

Ayon naman kay Martin, may “ilang factor” sa kanya na makasama ang da­la­wang babae na naging bahagi na ng kan­yang buhay.

“It wasn’t comfortable for me having both Pops and Katrina in the same table. It wasn’t very forced, because the kids get along well and Katrina made a big feast for us.

“It’s been a long time. I mean, you know me and Ka­trina are not together anymore either, so it’s the whole modern family concept. It was magic. It was Christmas. That’s what Christmas is all about.

“Of course, all the credit goes to Pops because if she doesn’t allow it, it’s a whole different ballgame. It’s the woman really, it’s the one who was left with all of this burden and so on, that have to cope with these things or make a choice to cope with it or not.

“She made the choice to cope with it. So, for all the women out there, you talk about powerful women? She should be on the poster, that’s Pops,” sey pa ni Martin.

Sa individual interview ay ipinagtapat ni Martin that Santino is “on the spectrum,” na ayon sa Urban Dictionary online, “A phrase used to describe a person with so­cial tics and/or awkwardness usually associated with autism or asperger’s syndrome).”
