Now That She's Finally Married, Amy Perez Is Proud To Be The Legal Mrs. Castillo

AMY PEREZ says she feels so much more contented now that she has officially exchanged I do’s with radio personality Carlo Castillo. “We’ve been together for 8 years, we have two sons, but yun na nga, we don’t have the sacrament of marriage,” she says. “But now, masaya ang feeling ko na finally, ako na ang legal wife niya and I can say proudly that I am Mrs. Castillo. Si Carlo talaga ang nagpursiging makuha yung annulment ko from my first marriage (to singer Brix Ferraris) kasi ako, sumuko na after lagi akong ma-deny. Big blessing ang second son naming si Isaiah kasi the annulment came the day he was born. Isa sa mga nagdarasal for the annulment ay ang lolo ni Carlo. Siya ang first apo kaya mahal na mahal siya nito. It’s just sad that his Lolo passed away before our wedding in Mango Farm two weeks ago.”

Amy says Carlo is a great blessing in her life. “Dahil sa kanya, na-override ko yung bad experiences ko from my first marriage. Siya yung nagsasabi lagi, ang bad memories, dapat na hindi mo na naaalala. Ibahin na natin yung dating memories with yung memories na tayo naman dalawa together.”

Amy is happy to be the endorser of Strike, a multi-insect killer product from ATC Health Products. “As a mom with three sons, I make sure my kids are always safe at home from insects na may mga dalang sakit, like yung mosquito with dengue. And Strike is very effective sa insects, but less toxic sa humans. Also, mas mura siya. I’m glad gagawaan nila kami ng TV commercial na buong mag-anak ng ATC. It will be our first time to appear together in a TVC.”

Will she allow her first son, Adi, to be formally adopted by Carlo? “Yun talaga ang susunod na aayusin ni Carlo ngayon. Step-by-step ang proceso. Matutuwa ka talaga kay Carlo kasi you can see he really treats Adi like his own son kaya naplano na niya lahat ‘yan."

Does Adi consent to this? “Yes, matagal na naming napag-usapan ni Adi yan. Last time niya nakita si Brix was when was 5 years old, then wala na kaming nabalitaan. Wala na kaming naririnig. We tried looking for him, pero hindi namin nakita, kaya si Carlo na talaga ang kinagisnan niyang ama.”
