Magwawalong taon na raw na nagsa-suffer sa Friedreich’s Ataxia ang anak nina DJ Mo at Bunny Paras na si Moira. Naninirahan ngayon sa California si Bunny kasama ang 15 years old na anak. Maraming tao rin daw sa Amerika ngayon ang apektado ng Ataxia (a lack of muscle coordination, the loss of full control of bodily movements).
“She was around 6 or 7 years old. We saw that she was getting wobbly, slurry speech and more clumsy. Because it’s progressive, we saw talagang happening na every year it got worse and worse and worse,” pahayag ni Bunny. “It’s so hard to think, are you going to lose your child? Is she gonna last how many years? How’s the progression gonna be,” dagdag ng dating aktres. Aktibong bata raw noon si Moira pero ngayon ay nalimitahan na ang mga nagagawa dahil sa kondisyon. “I was able to do kick ball and other little games that we did with other classmates. But right now I cannot do anything. It’s kind of like people are bumping into each other everywhere. It’s like there’s a higher tendency for me to fall or something not good to happen,” kwento ni Moira. Umaasa raw si Moira na malalampasan niya ang pagsubok na ito dahil na rin sa kanyang mga mahal sa buhay. “Despite the difficulties, I feel blessed to be around people that care so much and people that give me support. Thank you so much for helping me with your donations and your funds, even just your prayers it helps a lot,” pagtatapos ni Moira.
Daniel nag-iipon muna bago mag-GF
Matagal-tagal na ring single si Daniel Matsunaga at ngayon ay abala raw ang binata sa iba’t ibang proyekto kaya walang panahon sa pakikipagrelasyon.
“Wala akong girlfriend, trabaho muna, ipun-ipon ‘pag may time. I won’t say that I want somebody from showbiz or non-showbiz but I put God in everything and in God’s time there will be the right one,” nakangiting pahayag ni Daniel. Hindi rin daw totoo ang napababalitang nililigawan ng binata si Kris Aquino. “Si Kris is a very, very good friend of mine. We always worked together sa Kris TV. Tapos sobrang bait, actually Kris is the best kasi talagang she helped me a lot since the beginning do’n sa taping and everything else. So I am really happy, very blessed ngayon. Also dahil kay Kris so I am really, really thankful,” paliwanag ni Daniel.
Samantala, dalawang pelikula ngayon ang ginagawa ng aktor. Isa na rito ang Past Tense na pinagbibidahan nina Kim Chiu at Xian Lim at ang isa pa ay Shake, Rattle and Roll.
