UP TO NOW, Sen. Grace Poe is still gets asked if it’s true that her real mom is Rosemarie Sonora, the younger sister of her adoptive mom Susan Roces, and the dad is the late Pres. Marcos. “Ewan ko nga kung bakit nabuhay na naman yan,” she sighs. “Siguro akala ng mga naninira sa’kin, makakatulong para mawasak ako sa mata ng mga botante. Gusto ko nga, para matapos na lang, magpa-DNA test sana kami ni Tita Rose kaya lang, you have to respect the sentiments of other people. Nagagalit na nga yung cousin ko (Sheryl Cruz) because their name is dragged into this so, for that, I apologize talaga. I was born and found in a church in Jaro, Iloilo in 1968. Tita Rose then had a regular TV show with Pepito Rodriguez and she was making one movie after another at Sampaguita Pictures. She was not even
reported to have been pregnant at that time and Tita Marichu Vera Perez Maceda can attest to this, so I don’t think there’s any truth to the chismis that she’s my mother. At kung totoo yun, I’m sure my mom (Susan Roces) would have confided that na to me even then, the way she told me the truth that I’m adopted, na hindi ako galing sa kanya but ibinigay po ako ng Diyos sa kanila ng Papa ko.”
She’s happy that she’s back as the number one presidential candidate at the surveys. “I’m really thankful sa mga taong hindi bumibitaw sa akin sa kabila ng kabi-kabilang paninira. I’m confident the Disqualification issue will be cleared by the Supreme Court soon.”
