Parents of Freddie Aguilar's GF speak up
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN's "Buzz ng Bayan" on Sunday, the mother Aling Violeta admitted that she didn't approve of the relationship at first.
"Ang tagal naming pinagusapan 'yan. Pinagka-galitan pa naming mag-ina yan. Talagang pinagtatalunan namin," she said.
But after seeing how much her daughter wanted to be with Aguilar, she eventually changed her mind.
"Hindi ko na rin mapigilan. Kung pipigilan mo, lalo pong magwawala 'yan eh. Baka mas mapariwara ang buhay. Kaya sabi ko, kung ano ang gusto niya, 'sige, supportahan na lang kita," she said.
And much to the delight of Aling Violeta, she saw her daughter become more mature because of the relationship.
"Malaki po ang pinagbago. Ang ako po'y natutuwa sa pinagbago nang batang iyon. Mas mature na siya, mas may paggalang na siya sa amin ngayon," she said.
The couple, however, noted that they have become the subject of ridicule because of their support for the controversial May-December relationship.
"Kinukutsa kami ng kapwa tao. Ano ba kasi kaso ng anak ko sa gobyerno? Nangutang ba ang anak ko sa gobyerno?" said Mang Joel, the child's father.
"Ang tingin ng mga tao sa amin, mukhang pera kami. Na kaya ang anak namin ay nandoon dahil as pera. Hindi namin hinahangad ang pera. Parang insulto na rin sa kahirapan namin. Masakit po. Ayaw ko ng ganitong buhay," added her wife.
But despite the criticism, they assured their daughter that they still have their support and that they should prove to everyone what they already proved to them.
"Tibayan nila ang pagsasama nila. Pakita nila sa buong mundo na talagang nagmamahalan sila," said Aling Violeta.
