MARICEL SORIANO admits that, like her contemporary, Sharon Cuneta, she also went through mid-life crisis. “Yes, dinaanan ko rin yan. It was triggered by the death of my mother five years ago,” she says. “Pero quiet lang ako. Parang nung nanganak ako. Ine-expect nila, mag-iingay ako sa pagsigaw. Pero hindi, tiniis ko lang yung pain. Ayan na, ayan na. Nasa kabaong ang mommy ko, kinakausap ko siya, 45 minutes. E, buddy buddy ko ang nanay ko. Mas bakla pa sa’kin yun. Tuwing maaalala ko, nalulungkot ako. Ganito pala yun, anong magagawa ko? Hindi ako makatulog. Naging catatonic ako. Naintindihan ko, I need professional help. I took a break from showbiz to deal with it. I learned how to count my blessings.”
And now, as her successful comeback show, “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real”, ends this Friday, she has a lot more things to be thankful for. “Pinagdasal kong maging successful ito at binigay naman ni Lord. Inspired ngayon ang lola nyo na magtrabaho uli. Abangan nyo kung paano tatapusin ang show. Hindi ko sasabihin ang ending, but it’s going to be quiet, intelligent, mature and satisfying para sa lahat. The show realistically presented the real consequences of having two families and the changes in the life of the betrayer and the betraye, that there are no victors and everyone is affected to the point that even one’s loved ones took sides.”
