By Cara Emmeline Garcia

In a recent episode of Mars Pa More, hosts Iya Villania-Arellano and Camille Prats-Yambao played a game with their guests, Kisses Delavin and Angel Guardian, where they addressed the accusations being thrown at them.

Camille went first and revealed that people accuse her of having too much me-time. She said bashers would tell her something like “Puro ka bakasyon. Iniiwan mo na lang mga anak mo kung kani-kanino.”

She then defended herself by saying, “I like to have little getaways.

“I feel like I need to do it for myself and with my husband, kasi hindi na kami nakakapag-usap kapag puro mga bata na lang inaasikaso namin.

“So, we make it a point na once in a while we get to do things na kaming dalawa lang.”

Camille was also quick to stress out that there should be a limit to it.

She said, “Pero siyempre, 'wag din naman abusuhin. 'Wag naman puro me-time.

"Araw-araw me-time? All day me-time? 'Wag naman ganun.”

As for actress Kisses Delavin, she confessed to having a “what you see is what you get” attitude, which people sometimes interpret as a diva attitude.

She explained, “Kasi, sa showbiz kailangan mong gawin yung ibang bagay na minsan hindi ka komportableng gawin, and minsan nagkakaproblema po ako kapag hindi ko ginagawa yung kailangan kong gawin.”

“Pero sa tingin ko po kasi kung pangarap mo yung showbiz, para tumagal ka dito, kailangan doon ka lang sa kung ano yung nararamdaman ng puso mo na doon ka masaya.

“E, di magiging masaya po kayo sa showbiz at mas mamahalin mo yung showbiz.”

Actress-singer Angel Guardian went next, and shared that people accuse her of being MIA or “missing in action” most of the time.

Angel then explained, “Kasi, parang 'yon yung nagku-cure sa akin kapag may something ako in mind, sobrang daming stress…

“And for me, ganun ako nagde-deal sa mga bagay na nangyayari sa akin. 'Yon yung release ko.”

Last to participate in the game was host Iya Villania-Arellano. She said, “Ako po si Iya Villania at ang kaso ko po ay isa raw akong pabayang ina.”

She then detailed what the bashers tell her by saying, “Pabaya raw akong ina kasi paulit-ulit ang sando ng anak ko, hinahayaan kong lumabas ng bahay nang naka-diaper at sando…”
