Coleen, aminadong rocky ride ang pagsasama nila ni Billy

Mula nang magkaroon ng sariling pamilya ay bihira nang gumawa ng proyekto si Coleen Garcia.

Magtatatlong taon na sa Setyembre ang anak ng aktres at Billy Crawford na si Amari. “I don’t regret it. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if I will not give enough time to my personal life. Maybe I cannot do a teleserye or more films. But I can say that I do have a beautiful, thriving family and personal life that I can be proud of. That’s why I’m really focusing on that right now. It’s a blessing that I get to work on films. It’s not as demanding or a big commitment as a teleserye. I really choose the projects I will look forward to going to work,” paliwanag ni Coleen.

Kapag walang trabaho ay nasa bahay lamang ang aktres at tutok sa pag-aalaga sa kanilang supling ni Billy. “It’s important especially on Amari’s formative years. Amari will not be a baby forever. I just prioritize him now. Billy is often out working, so one of us has to be with Amari. When I’m the one who has to go to work, Billy stays with him. Nagbibigayan din kami when it comes to that,” dagdag pa ng aktres.

Mula pa noong maging magkasintahan ay marami nang pagsubok ang nalampasan nina Coleen at Billy.

May mga pagkakataong muntikan na raw talikuran ng aktres noon ang kanilang relasyon ni Billy. “But Billy never allowed me to. We’re into this together and we should take care of our relationship forever. So it never gets to a point where we have to walk away. It has been a rocky ride for us, from our party days to being in showbiz. We’ve been through a lot and we’ve grown so much together. Not even one time walking away became an option for Billy. That was what got me also to value commitment after we got married,” pagbabahagi ni Coleen.

Baron, nagpaampon na sa mga Cebuano

Sa Cebu na nakabase si Baron Geisler kasama ang kanyang asawa at anak.

Lumuluwas lamang ang aktor kapag mayroon gagawing proyekto sa Maynila.

Ayon kay Baron ay talagang masaya ang kanyang buhay ngayon na kasama ang sariling pamilya. “After taping or shooting, bumabalik agad ako ng Cebu. I’m happy, masaya ako sa ganitong buhay na simple lang. Life in Cebu is very laidback and I’m just in love with Cebu. That’s where God transformed me and that’s where I met my wife as well. Kasi 30 minutes away nasa beach ka na, 30 minutes away nasa bukid ka na,” nakangiting pahayag ni Baron.

Bukod sa magagandang tanawin sa Cebu ay napamahal na rin ang aktor sa mga bagong kaibigan doon. “People there are direct. Parang hindi sila plastic. Mga Cebuanos parang ‘pag hindi ka gusto, parang ayaw sa ‘yo. Pero kapag nagustuhan ang attitude mo, they will embrace you. So I would say that I’m already an adopted son of Cebu. I have so many real friends in Cebu,” giit niya.

Maganda nang muli ang takbo ng karera ni Baron ngayon.

Para sa aktor ay wala na siyang mahihiling pa pagdating sa personal na buhay at trabaho. “I really cannot ask for more. Sobra-sobra pa ‘yung binigay sa akin. Sobrang bait ng asawa ko. I have a beautiful wife, beautiful kids and I have real friends and then my career is blooming again. Wala na, kuntento na ako. I don’t deserve all of these things. But for some reason na-bless ako ulit ng ating Creator,” makahulugang paglalahad ng aktor. — Reports from JCC
