How does it feel returning to GMA-7 after she did several soaps with ABS? “It’s nice. Parang homecoming kasi dito naman ako nagsimula talaga sa ‘That’s Entertainment’ and “GMA Supershow’ of the late Kuya Germs. And I really feel blessed and thankful sa magandang role na ibinigay nila sa’kin ngayon. Ang makakalaban ko rito nang husto is Bing Loyzaga. Nagbibiruan na nga kami sa catfight and slapping scenes na gagawin namin. Sabi niya, ang payat ko raw, baka tumalsik ako kapag sinampal niya ako and I told her kayang-kaya ko siya kasi I do boxing.”
Meantime, what can she say to bashers who bully her and her three daughters (Angelina Isabelle, Samantha Angeline at Angel Francheska) saying that they’re involved in the controversy of her ex-hubby Cesar Montano who was told to resign from the Tourism Board?
“Natatawa nga ako kasi these people are now even questioning the food we eat and even the clothes my children wear because of a person who we/they don’t get to see anymore,” she says. “May mga nagsasabi pang, dugo kayo ng magnanakaw. Masakit yun, lalo para sa isang inang tulad ko. But I told my kids not to be ashamed or embarrassed at all, kasi ang pagkain at damit nila, ultimo sasakyang ginagamit nila, I’m the one who provide for them. Lahat, ako ang bumibili para sa kanila.
Nagtatrabaho ako ng maayos at nagpupursige para sa mga anak ko. To these bullies and haters, kung may kasalanan sa inyo ang ibang tao, don’t involve other people especially my children. Mula 2013 nagawa kong magtrabaho at buhayin ang mga anak ko sa maayos na paraan at sa pagtatrabaho ko bilang artista.”
Shine is also involved in the controversial situation of a Brunei-based businesswoman who she and other actresses sued for scamming them. The businesswoman had a presscon and tried to turn the tables on them so Shine explained her side in her social media account. She says: “For the record. I tried to talk to her about getting my money back privately for months, but it did not work. That’s why I coursed it through my lawyers na lang. She was a friend and I/We trusted her. I got into business with her, invested money for about 2 years for additional income since I am a single mom. I’ve been wanting to get my principal money back but she couldn’t deliver. Wag mo palabasing ginamit or pinerahan kita dahil hindi ka maiiyak o masasaktan ng ganito if I was not a good friend to you. Kaya lang sana hindi mo ako siniraan at nag focus ka sa issue. Walang singsing na diamond, hundreds of thousands worth ng alahas, walang allowance na binigay sa amin. Just an honorarium being given to us everytime we work/perform for your events. Pumapayag kami dahil kaibigan namin kayo. Dun tayo sa totoo. Be fair. We don’t deserve this from you. Let the courts decide.”
