Cesar Montano Still Wants To Save Marriage To Sunshine Cruz For The Sake Of Their Daughters

CESAR MONTANO is obviously not avoiding the press. Contrary to what some folks speculated that he won’t show up at the presscon of “Akin Pa Rin ang Bukas” so he wouldn’t have to talk about his tumultuous marital life, he gamely answered all the questions thrown his way. Before the presscon started, GMA staffers even told the press to refrain from asking any personal questions to Cesar, but obviously, Cesar himself didn’t heed their warning. Judging from his answers, it’s obvious he still wants to save his marriage to Sunshine Cruz to make their family whole again.

“That’s really my intention, my prayer, because of my love for our children,” he says. “Gusto kong matapos na ang anumang conflict dahil yung mga bata, kawawa. Wala silang kinalaman sa anumang away. I hate it because I know our children do not deserve this. Kasi, kung intensyon kong saktan si Shine, masasaktan ko, kaya lang maapektuhan din ‘yung mga bata. This is not an issue between me and my wife. Kahit na saang anggulo mo idaan, ang masasaktan ultimately, yung mga bata. So, pinakamabuti, the best is tumahimik and to pray. Ayoko ngang isama sila sa korte but the judge required it. I don’t want them sana dragged into this. I’m devastated. Thoroughly devastated. The court decided on how to share the children. Four days sa kanya, then three days sa akin. Tapos, four sa akin, three naman sa kanya, to make it equal. Mahirap, but I look at it positively. I just thank God for what I have right now, kahit problema man ‘yan o magandang blessing man ‘yan. Because, mas sa tingin ko, God is preparing me for a bigger task, a bigger issue in life. Hindi naman porke may problema ka, you’re not blessed. You’re just being tested for a bigger blessing in the future. Nasa pagtingin lang ng tao ‘yon. Ever since, I’ve always had a positive outlook on everything. Very optimistic akong tao at kahit anong negative na lumalabas, I will always make it into something positive.”

He denies having a new love in his life. “Sa mata ng batas, sa mata ng Diyos, hindi pa rin kami hiwalay. If you’re going to read the Bible, anti-divorce ang Panginoon, e. And I don’t think it’d be proper for me to be having another lovelife. Sa ngayon, sa daughters ko lang muna ako at sa trabaho ko, taping regularly for ‘Akin Pa Rin ang Bukas’ where I play the lawyer son of Gloria Romero. Akong tutulong kay Lovi laban sa mga umapi sa kanya.”
