Shaina Magdayao believes ‘no one is above the law’

MANILA, Philippines – Shaina Magdayao is more careful in making statements regarding her sister Vina Morales’s complaint against Cedric Lee.

Last month, Vina filed a complaint to suspend the visiting rights of Cedric to their daughter Ceana, after he allegedly “detained” her for nine days.

“Medyo we want to be careful sa mga statements na ibibigay namin kasi nasa korte pa siya,” Shaina replied when asked how close the film “Dukot” is to her real life.

The Kapamilya actress is part of the film, where she portrays the role of Enrique Gil’s sister, who was almost kidnapped.

The part where her character worries about the situation of her brother who was kidnapped was somehow relatable to her now in real life.

“Kasi hindi mo alam kung ano ang nangyayari, lalo na ‘yong sa amin she’s just a little girl. Baby girl, she’s seven years old,” she explained. “So nakakatakot na wala ka naman ibang magawa kundi ipagdasal talaga na everything will be okay, ibaba lahat ng ego at pride para sa welfare ng bata.”

She admitted that recently, they’re more careful when going out with Ceana after the recent incident.

However, in the end of it all, Shaina said that her family believes that “no one is above the law. 

"Nagtitiwala lang din kami sa lawyers namin, and magiging maayos din ‘to in due time,” she said.

“Dukot” will be in cinemas on July 13.
