Sunshine Cruz opens up on breakup with Macky Mathay
Sunshine Cruz has finally disclosed the reason behind her much-talked-about split with San Juan City Councilor Macky Mathay. In a recent episode of “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” the actress related that it was hinged on “trust issues.”
She admitted the same caused the dissolution of her marriage to Cesar Montano.
“Ang na-realize ko lang dito sa relationship (with Macky), and even with my ex-husband, Cesar (Montano), tatlo ang importanteng bagay sa relationship. Hindi lang love, dapat nandun ang trust, nandun ang respect. ‘Pag merong isang nawala dun, it’s not going to work. And sa edad kong ito, I am 45 years old, hindi na dapat pinapatagal.”
“Of course, you give your second chance, third chance, hanggang 10 pa nga na beses magbibigay ka, eh. Pero at the end of the day, you wake up one day at mari-realize mo na wala nang patutunguhan ang relationship.”
But she made clear she harbors no bitterness in her heart.
“You just have to be thankful for the years you’ve been together. Naging maganda ‘yung pagsasama niyo, nagmahalan kayo, naging inspiration kayo sa isa’t-isa.”
But why the protracted silence? “I chose to be quiet because merong mga bata na involved – mga anak niya na napamahal sa akin and ‘yung mga anak ko na napamahal kay Macky. So, nag-decide ako na maging quiet na lang, kasi hindi naman talaga alam ng publiko kung ano ‘yung pinagdadaanan namin or kung ano yung pinagdaanan ko,” she answered.
If anything, Sunshine is thankful she’s busy with work.
She is open to whatever fate has in store for her.
"I just have to believe, I’m sure na mayroong ibang plano si God para sa akin. Kung anuman ’yon, hihintayin ko. Kung dumating, okay lang. Ang importante nandiyan ang mga anak ko. Mahal ako ng mga anak ko. Doon na lang nagpo-focus ako. I have work, hindi ako nawawalan ng proyekto, and that’s all that matters. I am blessed."
News about Sunshine and Macky parting ways started circulating late last year.
Adding fuel to the fire were Sunshine’s seemingly cryptic posts.
Around the time the two were supposed to celebrate their sixth year together.
