KAHIT nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa ay lumipad pauwi ng Pilipinas ang aktres na si Jodi Sta. Maria nang mabalitaan na na-bully ang anak niyang si Thirdy Lacson noong nasa grade school pa ito.
Sa isang panayam, isiniwalat ni Jodi na nagso-show siya abroad nang makarating sa kanya na binu-bully ang anak sa paaralan.
“It happened way back when he was in grade school. I remember that I was abroad doing a show. and I was sent photos of what happened to my son. I was alarmed and I initially felt helpless because I was so far away. I called him to check on him and thought of actions that could be done to address it,” sabi niya.
Pero sa sobrang guilty na wala siya sa tabi ng anak, agad siyang nag-empake at umuwi ng Pilipinas.
“Nasa trabaho ako ‘di ba and wala ako dun sa side niya when it happened. Ang nangyari as a galit na mother, umuwi ako ng Pilipinas, nakipag-set ako ng meeting sa school,” chika ni Jodi.
Hiwalay si Jodi sa ama ni Thirdy na si Pampi pero nananatili silang magkaibigan at piniling mag-co-parent sa bata.
“It is not easy to deal with these things. Thirdy’s dad and I had different approaches. ‘Yung isa an eye for an eye, me naman, I would say how to resolve it in a way na hindi mag-escalate ‘yung problem. I had to set a meeting with the school to find out what happened. We felt sad when it happened. Honestly, it angered me too,” dagdag ng aktres.
