If real-life sweethearts Patrick Garcia and Jennylyn Mercado are famous for their biggest lies, bumawi naman sila ngayon by spilling the truest beans na nagbunga na ang kanilang relasyon.
But it won’t be until January of next year na puwede silang maikasal, or probably never. Patrick’s elder sister Cheska is scheduled to marry her boyfriend this October 9, and going by the Pinoy tradition, may hatid na malas kung sukob sa iisang taon ang magkapatid na ikinakasal.
Which means, isisilang ni Jen ang anak nila ni Patrick sometime in September out of wedlock, as if the world cares.
Anyway, aside from their previous biggest falsehoods, and now their biggest confession, comes the biggest observation na mukhang hindi boto ang ina ni Patrick, si Mommy Bing, kay Jen. The biggest objection, it seems, is their live-in set-up despite Jen’s condition right in the Garcia residence.
Sey ni Mommy Bing, hindi raw kailangang magsama ang dalawa under one roof since she’ll provide for Jen’s needs herself. Imposible ring si Patrick pa ang makipisan kina Mommy Lydia, Jen’s mom.
One thing’s definitely sure, Becky Aguila has just lost an artist from whose fat earnings shell stop getting equally fat commission.

If mommy Bing stands her ground na tutol siyang mag-live in sina Patrick at Jennylyn, kakaibang larawan naman ng ina si Mommy Lydia.
No question about it, natanggap na niya si Patrick matapos manindigan sa kanyang responsibilidad. Abut-abot din ang kanyang pasasalamat sa GMA 7 with its promise that Jen, after giving birth barely eight months from now, is assured of jobs.
But this one I could not take. Sey ni Mommy Lydia.Tanggap din daw niyang tinanggal na si Jen sa soap na Maging Akin Ka Lamang as long taping hours would be detrimental to her daughter’s health as well as the baby’s. Pero sana raw ay bigyan si Jen ng GMA ng magaang-gaan na role, not because Mommy Lydia is worried about her daughter’s career slipping into limbo while temporarily gone.
Katwiran ng ina, and I quote: ‘‘Siyempre, alam n’yo naman ang sitwasyon namin, breadwinner namin si Jen.’’
Aray ko!
