NANG hindi tanggapin ni Sharon Cuneta ang The Voice Kids Season 4 bilang isa sa mga coaches kasama sina Lea Salonga, Sarah Geronimo at Bamboo ay hudyat na pala ito na plano na niyang mag lie-low sa showbiz.
Ang dahilan ng Megastar kaya hindi niya tinanggap ang TVK4, “I cannot stand the stress kasi I become so attached to the kids and it weighs heavily on my heart ‘pag kailangan na mag-eliminate. Nu’ng May (2019) ko pa sinabi kay Mr. M ‘yon.”
Ang Mr. M na tinutukoy ni Shawie ay si Mr. Johnny Manahan na siyang direktor ng programang The Voice Kids.
At dahil sa ibang bansa mag-aaral ang panganay nina Sharon at Senator Kiko Pangilinan na si Frankie ay dito na naglabas ng saloobin ang Megastar na mag semi-retire na siya.
Bagama’t binanggit ng TV host/ singer/actress na hindi naman ang pag-aaral sa ibang bansa ng anak ang dahilan ng pamamahinga niya sa showbiz ay hindi pa rin nawawala sa isipan ng lahat na posibleng sobrang lungkot na naman niya dahil magkalayo sila ni Frankie.
Oo nga naman kung may regular show siya ay hindi niya magagawang basta umalis at dalawin ang anak sa New York City, USA kapag nami-miss na niya, knowing Sharon masyadong emosyonal.
Sa post ni Sharon sa kanyang social media account nitong madaling araw ng Martes.
“I couldn’t talk about how it was when Kakie and I said our goodbyes. This is all I can share with you. Taken a few minutes before I left for the airport. I had asked her to not take me downstairs and see me leave the hotel, so the goodbyes were in the room, where I was trying so very hard to hold back my tears.
“I left her by our room’s door, then she closed it and stayed inside. I walked to the elevator and let go of my tears. Then while I was waiting for the lift to come up to our floor, she ran from the room to me and we hugged each other one last time, our tears freely flowing now, then I told her to run back to the room before I entered the elevator.
“It was a painful goodbye. But my girl is strong. She is my and her Daddy’s daughter, so I know she will be fine. I miss her so much. But this is for her own good and I have put my selfishness aside to let her spread her wings and fly.
“On another note, and this is important- Since last year l have seriously been thinking of semi-retiring. I am so very tired. It has been 41 years of work, work, work for me, and at some point, kailangan na rin sabihin sa sarili na “tama na.”
“When will it ever be enough? Sometimes you just have to put your foot down and say it’s okay, and it’ll all be okay. Maybe I’ll do a concert here and there every once in a while, or a movie that I feel will really be worth the few months it’ll take me away from my home and family.
Sinasabi ko na sa inyo ito, mga mahal kong Sharonians. Mahal na mahal ko kayo pero pagod na rin si Mama. Di naman siguro ako biglang forever na mawawala pero konting-konti na lang siguro ang kakayanin kong ibigay until magpahinga na ako at i-enjoy naman ang tinatawag na private life na alam ng karamihan pero tungkol saan kokonti lang ang alam ko.
“I know you will all understand. I love you all and this has nothing to do with Kakie leaving. Like I said, last year ko pa naiisip at nararamdaman ito, at kinausap ko na rin ang pamilya at manager at team ko noon pa tungkol dito.
“I love you all so much, and I will try my very best to give you the best of me before I say goodbye. God bless us all. Goodnight everyone.”
