No choice, anak ipina-rehab… TERESA, SINISI ANG SARILI SA PAGIGING ADIK NI DIEGO

ni Julie Bonifacio @Winner | June 20, 2024

Sinisisi ni Teresa Loyzaga ang sarili sa pagpasok sa rehab ng anak niyang si Diego Loyzaga. Aminado si Teresa na naging bahagi siya ng adiksiyon ni Diego.

Ilan 'yan sa mga rebelasyon na pinakawalan ni Teresa during her recent guesting sa programa ng King of Talk na si Boy Abunda, ang Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

Pahayag ni Teresa, “Oo, kasi nga I wasn’t always there. Even if I try to be there I just couldn’t. Somebody had to work, somebody had to put food on the table, somebody had to put a roof over their heads, somebody had to put them in school and please I’m not saying this because I’m degrading other people. No, wala akong pinupuntirya sa mga wala ru’n. ‘Yun ang sitwasyon namin, we had to deal with it the best way I could.”

Pagre-reveal pa ni Teresa kay Kuya Boy, siya raw mismo ang nagdala kay Diego sa rehab.

“I put him in rehab. And that was a part of me that died but I wanted my son to live. So, I had to put him in rehab,” mangiyak-ngiyak na paglalantad ni Teresa.

Nu’ng una raw ay ‘di ‘yun naintindihan ni Diego at nagalit sa kanyang ina. 

“Because he wasn’t himself then,” paliwanag pa ni Teresa. 

“We have to understand na ‘yung mga mahal natin sa buhay, kapag nalulong sa droga, kapag kinakausap mo sila, binabastos ka nila, hindi sila ‘yun. ‘Yung gamot ‘yun, eh. ‘Yun ‘yun.

“Nu’ng nawala ‘yun, bumalik ang anak ko, naintindihan na niya. Ang tagal naming ‘di nagkita, pero ang hindi niya alam, bumibisita ako lagi sa kanya kahit na bawal kaming magkita.

“That was part of his punishment to learn and appreciate “home,” family. 

“Hindi kami nagkita. Pero kapag bumisita ako ru’n, minsan pader lang ang pagitan namin. Nand’yan lang s’ya sa kabila, hindi n’ya alam. Pero napapanood ko siya sa isang maliit na monitor kung nasaan s’ya sa loob. Kapag kumakain s’ya, nagpapadala ako ng pagkain.”

There was a time raw na tarpaulin na may butas lang ang pagitan nila ni Diego. Pilit daw niyang pinipigilan ang sarili na kausapin si Diego dahil ‘yun ang pangako niya sa administrator ng rehab.

“Ang hirap,” buntong-hininga ni Teresa.

Maraming panalangin at pasasalamat ang ginawa ni Teresa para sa pagbuting muli ng katawan at isipan ni Diego, at doon daw kumapit si Teresa. At kung hindi raw siya nanalangin, baka pati siya ay nasa loob na rin, sa rehab gaya ni Diego.

Marami ang naantig sa back-to-back tribute ni Lotlot de Leon sa kanyang mga ama. Isa para sa kanyang biological dad na Amerikanong si Donald Olson and of course, sa aktor na si Christopher de Leon.

Ishinare ni Lotlot ang feelings niya for her “dads” sa kanyang Facebook (FB) account in celebration of Father’s Day last Sunday.

Caption ni Lotlot sa FB post niya na series of photos ng kanyang biological dad,

“He was there at the hospital when I was born. He knew he had a daughter. But he had other responsibilities already. He kept me a secret for a very long time. 

“He had a very good friend from the Philippines who knew all of this, his story. His friend sent him pictures of me while I was growing up till even the time I had children of my own. 

“Then the time came when we found each other again. There were a lot of questions on my part. Instead, I found myself understanding. 

“Love for his family was top priority. I guess the timing was right when I met him because I already really knew about the true meaning of love. Respect was what he earned from me. I understood. And it’s okay. It still boils down to love. I will always celebrate you, Papa (heart emoji). Happy Father’s Day.”

Sa dulo ng mensaheng ito ay may postscript si Lotlot kung saan humiling siya ng panalangin para sa kanyang Daddy Donald. Nasa ospital daw kasi si Mr. Olson.

Sumunod na binati at pinapurihan ni Lotlot bilang ama ang kanyang Papa Boyet.

Paglalahad ni Lotlot sa kanyang FB post, “And then he came into my life. Dad was 18 years old I think? So very young to take the responsibility to be called, Dad! Imagine that? And without him thinking twice, embraced me, carried me and loved me like his own. 

“What are the odds that I was put by God to be part of the best? He has chosen the best person who taught me what kindness and love is all about. The word grateful is an understatement. A dad who never fails up to now to remind me of how loved I am by his simple messages of, ‘I love you, anak!’ And who remains present in my life and my children’s lives. 

“What a blessing!, my gratitude is eternal. Dad, I love you always! We, your children, are all very blessed by your love. Happy Father’s Day, Dad! (heart emoji), God truly works in mysterious ways (heart emoji).”

Sa dami ng na-touched at naiyak sa mensahe ni Lotlot para kay Boyet, may mga bumatikos pa rin at isinali si Nora Aunor sa usapan. 

Hays, ang dami talagang mema at bashers sa socmed.
