Ang confirmation ay nanggaling mismo kay Goma after the launching ng scents by Richard & Lucy ng Bench na ginanap sa Mall of Asia Music Hall last Thursday night.
Sa part ni Ms. Lucy, all out ang magiging support niya sa anumang magiging decision ng kanyang husband.
Anyway, available na sa lahat ng Bench store ang scents by Richard & Lucy.
By the way kasama pang nag-attend ng nasabing launching ang father ni Ms. Lucy Torres.
Matagal-tagal din kasi ang naging process bago naging okey ang lahat between the two of them. After it happened, walang narinig sa dalawa at for the first time ay nagsalita si Ms. JoAnn.
"1. I have to give credit for this peace to the bosses–Claudine’s and mine. Mr. Johnny Manahan and Ms. Lisa Gokongwei wanted the legal cases to go away, and they worked to make that happen. This last big effort took roughly six weeks.
Seeing how intent they were to broker peace, knowing the kind of intelligence and patience they exercised, and feeling the sincerity all around, there was no other choice but to see things their way. I believe it was the same thing for Claudine.
2. The process was intense. The bosses met with me, the bosses met with Claudine. Although Claudine and I were never in the same room at any time, we knew what our individual positions were on all major issues at every turn. The bosses made sure of that.
If you ask why Claudine and I never met, I may have to say I don’t know. I just did it on faith. If the people who most wanted us to make peace thought it was better for them to talk to us separately, so be it.
Or maybe it was instinct. Maybe something told me that the distance can make Claudine and I look at the arguments and compromises more dispassionately. Maybe without the heat of each one talking to explain her side, it would be more possible to listen.
Certainly, it worked.
3. Right now, the immediate result of this peace is that Claudine has withdrawn her civil suit against me and I have signed an affidavit of desistance on my criminal suits against her. This holds true for all our cases against each other, including my daughter Patricia’s civil suit against Claudine.
In other words, there are no more legal battles hanging between Claudine and myself. We ended that chapter, and if things go well, we begin a new one."
Isang surprise party ang ibinigay sa kanya ng Wednesday Club sa poolside ng Century Imperial.
Of course present ang malalapit na kaibigan ni Tita Malou at kasama na ang kanyang mga alaga. At kasama na pala sa kanyang maraming alaga si Ian de Leon. Almost two months nang mina-manage ni Tita Malou at under negotiations pa raw lahat ng project niya.
Anyway, present sa nasabing party ang mga alaga ni Tita Malou at siyempre Eat Bulaga hosts and of course ang marami niyang friends at si Mother Lily na mother ng Wednesday Club.
Aba, ano kayang reaction dito ni Nay Lolit Solis? Nangangamoy reconcilation na ba sa pagitan nilang dalawa?
Well, wait and see na lang tayo.
