Nitong Martes, nag-post ang dating aktres na si Jackie Forster ng pahayag sa kaniyang Instagram account hinggil sa tagumpay na nakakamit ng anak niya si Kobe Paras sa larangan mg sports. Kamakailan lamang, kinumpirma ni Kobe ang nalalapit na paglalaro para sa University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) sa US NCAA.

Sa kaniyang post, ayon kay Jackie, nararapat lamang din daw siyang mabigyan ng credit sa lahat ng natatamasa ng kaniyang anak sa former PBA superstar na si Benjie Paras.

Aniya, "The bigger he gets the more credit I will get. I have majority stakes in his genetic makeup. The basketball yes from his father but athleticism will also come from me!"

My cousin tagged me on a video on fb from Sart gilas 2.0 Anyhow to let those who don't already know : I played tennis, i love to box, i trained brazilian jiu-jitsu for 2 yrs, i train muay thai, i practice yoga and enjoy plyometrics/crosstraining, i used to surf, i hike and bicycle to name a few things. I taught my kids how to throw and catch an american football, i had them trained in skateboarding when they were with me with Stoked Manila (though against their fathers controlling desires) and i enrolled them for wrestling and boxing at Red Corner a few weeks before i realized i would never see them again and almost every weekend we we go bowling with their friends kids and siblings of my bffs @thelollicakechic @samanthalopeznyc @superflyfaith @cherriedelrosario All this i did on my own as a mother thay saw the same athleticism i had in them whenever i had the money to take them in while we were.separated. People who dont know me can keep insisting i was irresponsible but when i had Andre and Kobe i did my best with what i had and i was a responsible as i can be. I have so many people around me thatncan witness to my character.just waiting to see what my kids are claiming so they can testify in my defense. Anyhow just wanted people to know i know about Kobes latest achievements i might be one of the first to know because i have so many people around them informing me. If you see Kobe or Andre favor naman dyan.. please tell them i love them with all my heart. Nothing will ever change that. #Godiswatching

Dagdag pa niya, siya raw ang mas kamukha ng binata. Bukod dito, tinuruan niya rin daw mag-football sina Kobe at kapatid nitong si Andre, at ipina-train din umano niya ang mga anak sa skateboarding, wrestling, at boxing.

Matatandaang naghiwalay ang mag-asawang Benjie at Jackie noong 2003. Simula noon ay nangibang-bansa na si Jackie, habang nanatili sina Kobe at Andre sa kustodiya ng kanilang ama.

Noong 2013, bumalik si Jackie sa Pilipinas at humiling na makita ulit ang mga anak. Gumawa pa ang dating aktres ng music video upang humingi ng tawad sa mga ito.

Gayunpaman, hindi pa rin umano pumayag ang magkapatid na makita ang kanilang ina matapos itong makatampuhan. Ayon kay Kobe sa naunang pahayag, "Wala, I don't care because I'm happy with my life now. I have a new mom. She's better and she treats us the way we want to, not like what she (Jackie) did to us."

Paglilinaw ni Benjie noon, desisyon nina Kobe at Andre kung nais nilang makausap muli si Jackie.

Sa ngayon, mayroon nang sariling pamilya si Jackie at naka-base sa Amerika, habang muling ikinasal si Benjie sa model na si Lyxen Diomampo.

Sa kaniyang post, nag-iwan din si Jackie ng mensahe para sa mga anak: "If you see Kobe or Andre favor naman dyan.. please tell them i love them with all my heart."— JST, GMA News
