Heeding the Call of the Times

For most showbiz personalities, education takes the backseat once they have tasted the limelight and the screams of the adoring fans. Reasons like “fame comes only once” or “education can be taken later” are commonly said as to why some personalities stop schooling. On the one hand, some showbiz talents have successfully combined finishing their college degrees while maintaining an acting career. On the other hand, a handful of celebrities opted to drop their careers in favor of school.

Take the case of this Sweet Actress (SA). When SA was launched into the business, the public adored her as she was articulate and a looker. She had both feet planted on the ground despite her family background. Besides, SA was the epitome of the ideal daughter, who followed her parents at the expense of her lovelife, among others. However, SA was just in her teens when she started and finishing high school was set aside.

After some years in the business, SA’s career is stable. She has undergone several trials, such managerial problems, verbal tussles with co-actors, breakups, and even family conflicts, which all happened in the eyes of the public. While she has a respectable set of followers and is a recognized household name, SA never reached that peak of stardom where fans swoon at her presence. Despite this state, SA is still a respected talent. Finally, SA has given in to another pressure – the pressure of going back to school.

Apparently, SA reviewed, prepared, and passed the accreditation test to make her eligible for college without having to go back to high school. Was this decision her own or was this influenced by her current relationship? Her decision would certainly silence her critics who fuss about her lack of formal education. Besides, having a college degree would give her the edge over her contemporaries and would make her fit better in the circle of her current partner. Moreover, she can escape words like “Artista lang yan!” (She’s just an actress!).

“Huwag na niyang gawing showbiz pa ang buhay namin.”

This was the reaction of Charice’s mom, Raquel Pempengco, after the singer, in a recent appearance on the morning program “Kris TV,” expressed through a song that she wants to reconcile with her family.

In an exclusive interview with “Buzz ng Bayan” that aired on Sunday, Pempengco said she knows her daughter is just putting on a show.

“Hindi ako naniniwala. Hindi na ako naniniwala kung ngayon lang. Pero kung ang Charice dati ang nagsabi nun, malamang umiiyak na ako nun,” she said.

Pempengco said she was not able to see the “Kris TV” episode but she learned about it from one of their store’s customers.

“Kasi minsan nasa cash register ako. Sabi niya ‘Mommy kinantahan ka ni Charice ah.’ Sabi ko ‘Ah hayaan mo siya kumanta.’ Dinadaan ko siya sa biro. Nandito lang kami, makikipagplastikan pa ba kami? Ang lapit lang namin para idaan pa sa ganun,” she said.

“Kilala ko si Charice. May e-mail. Alam niya ang number ko. Huwag na niyang gawing showbiz pa ang buhay namin,” she added.

Contrary to rumors, Pempengco stressed she has already accepted the sexual preference of her daughter long before she admitted it in public.

She said the only thing she can’t accept is Charice’s relationship with Alyssa Quijano. “Ayaw ko kay Alyssa. Natatawa lang ako kapag nakakarinig ng kasal between parehong babae,” she said.

Meanwhile, Pemgpengco showed no sign of sadness that she and Charice will spend Christmas apart.

“Sanay na rin naman ako na ilang taon na wala siya kapag Pasko. Mula nung 2010 na hindi na magkakasama ng Pasko at Bagong Taon,” she said.

“Buzz ng Bayan” tried to get a reaction from Charice but the singer has opted to keep mum about her mother’s statements.
