Is Sharon Cuneta pushing through with her plans of retirement from showbiz?

The Megastar made her fans and followers curious when she posted an Instagram photo with the following caption: "On my way to retirement..."

Her post was of a black and white selfie with her eyes closed, looking somber, while a clenched fist rests on top of her lips.

The text "Kids, it's almost time. Mama's tired. I love you!" is also edited in the photo.

Sharon's loyal fans, the Sharonians, commented their messages of support for the singer-actress as she steps into a new chapter in her career.

Sharon previously talked about her retirement from showbiz during a press conference for her Iconic concert in 2019.

“At this point in my life, I'm not only physically tired, I'm also emotionally, mentally… becoming very drained. Showbiz has really changed a lot.

“Like I've said in my teens, I will not allow showbiz to eat my person. I will not allow it to change my soul.

“And there are so many things that are so different now.

“So, things that matter to me, friendship, loyalty… so many things have changed, the landscape has changed.

“I enjoy when we were younger, I enjoy those times.

“And it's been a very, very good business to me, and my fans have been so loving and supportive non-stop, so I owe them the rest and the best of me,” Sharon said.

Sharon also mentioned that it would be a semi-retirement and she would still be open to doing movies and concerts every once in a while.

According to her, “When I say semi-retirement, it's once in a while kakanta pa rin, may movie pa rin.

“Pero hindi na 'yung working katulad dati na halos walang patid na concerts-movies-concerts-movies.

“Not as much [as active na]. I will pick the movies that I will do and the concerts that I will do.”
