Sharon Cuneta responds to 'laki sa lola' comment about daughter KC Concepcion

By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Megastar Sharon Cuneta believes she did everything she can to raise her eldest daughter, KC Concepcion.

This is what she confessed after a netizen pointed out that KC Concepcion may have felt “out of place” in Sharon's life because she grew up with her grandmother.

“KC is out of place with you dahil laki siya sa lola and with her siblings. At dahil kalahati lang ang pagiging kapatid nila, plus age gap, distance, time together dahil nasa Paris siya before,” the netizen wrote.

“While 'yung dalawa [Frankie and Miel], magkasama sa bahay at iisa ang nanay at tatay.”

It added, “I think KC needs you, give her more time, lalo na at malaki ang nawala sa inyo naman talaga na time together. I feel her. I know she is in pain. She badly needs you.”

Meanwhile, Sharon retorted, “Actually, hindi ko maintindihan 'yung 'laki sa lola.'

“Malaki ang naitulong ni Mama sa pagpapalaki ko sa kanya, pero kahit nagtatrabaho ako, napakarami ko rin namang sinakripisyo--maging health at tulog-- ara sa kanya at para makasama siya.”

The singer added, “None of you saw what I had to give up, what decisions I made for and because of her, even putting aside my own feelings.

“My mommy was a big part of her life, that is so true. But here is what people do not seem to hear from her granddaughter: SO. WAS. I.

“Kahit sumuka na ng dugo dahil 'di kami umaasa sa mga magulang ko at 'di naman tumulong ang dapat. My other children seem to think I am a good mother. So I take comfort in that. It's sad that it is so easy for someone to forget everything I've done.”

Sharon addressed all her critics and said that whatever happens between her family will remain on closed doors in a follow-up comment.

“There is so much you do not know about what has happened between us because I will not talk about it,” she wrote.

“Our doors have always been an open one and our home, a loving one to her. So if she decides not to be a part of our family, the one she grew up with, then there is nothing we can do or will do.

“'Di rin naman namin ugali ang ipilit ang sarili namin sa 'di naman gusto sa amin kahit sino pa 'yon.”

Sharon concluded, “But thank you for your concern. For everyone else: Be thankful that I am the kind of mother who will not open her mouth.”
