WHEN BOSSA NOVA Queen Sitti Navarro had a show in Tawi-Tawi on April 25, she didn’t know she’ll not only get reacquainted with her Muslim roots but also meet her long lost dad who broke up with her mom when she was only about a year old. “I know he’s Muslim but my mom raised me as a Catholic,” she said. “I don’t even know how he looks kasi I didn’t see any picture of him as I was growing up. But I never felt incomplete kahit wala akong dad as my mom raised me in a very loving atmosphere. It was my first cousin introduced me to my father. I had some apprehensions before we came face to face with each other but when he was finally in front of me, it hit me that this is one person I can actually call my Papa and that I actually loved him even if I grew up without him. Call it lukso ng dugo or a case of frazzled nerves, basta I felt no negative feelings or bitterness towards him. I also met my half-siblings mga anak niya in his new family and we look alike. Ang saya-saya ko!”
