WALLY BAYOLA was very candid in the no-holds-barred interview of “Startalk” with him. He confessed he almost committed suicide after his video scandal with EB Babe Yosh Rivera was uploaded on the internet. He said he was already holding his gun that morning when the video went viral and thinking of shooting himself.
Then his friend Jose Manalo called him. They talked and Jose felt that he’s already saying goodbye. Jose got mad and told him to talk his daughter who’s afflicted with cancer and is in the hospital. He went to the hospital and his whole family was there. They all prayed together while holding each other’s hands, with his daughter leading the prayer.
“Doon na ako umiyak nang umiyak,” he says. “After ng dasal, tahimik na kaming lahat. Hanggang sinabi ng wife ko, tawagan namin ang kapatid ko, sabihin na namin sa pamilya namin. Doon, nag-iyakan na naman kami. Malaki ang pasasalamat ko, kasi, nandiyan ang pamilya ko na parang hindi sila nagalit sa akin. Tinanggap nila ako. Parang alam nila na wala akong kalaban dito. At alam nila na kailangan ko talaga sila, hanggang sa hindi sila nag-give up. Hindi nila ako iniwan. Kaya sabi ko ‘salamat, nandiyan kayo.’ Sabi ng anak ko, ‘Kami ang family mo e. Kami ang makakasama mo.’ Halos araw-araw humihingi ako ng sorry sa kanila.”
He now feels like he’s starting all over again. “Malaking utang na loob sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ na binigyan nila ako ng another chance. Hindi nila ako sinuspindi. Ako mismo ang hindi na pumasok dahil nahihiya ako sa kasalanan. Ngayon, nakabalik na ako, pero naninibago pa rin ako, e. ‘Yung parang naaalangan pa rin kasi kahit ako nga, hindi ko pa rin matanggap-tanggap ang kasalanang nagawa ko. Nahihiya pa rin ako talaga. Nandiyan pa rin ‘yung kinakabahan ako, pero kailangan kong kayanin. Kasi, kailangan ko na talaga magtrabaho. I’m trying my best na maging okay. Nung wala akong trabaho, kinapos kami, nagbenta kami ng mga gamit. Buti hindi ako pinabayaan ng mga dabarkads sa ‘Eat Bulaga’. Pero dahil sa nangyari, mas naging close kami ng asawa ko’t buong pamilya namin. Napalapit kami sa Diyos at lagi kaming nagsisimba.”
Wally lives in the village next to ours and we see him in church. Here’s praying he has learned truly his lesson and won’t go astray again for the sake of his family. We’re also praying for the complete healing of his daughter.
