Anak ni Melanie Marquez 'di kinayang mag-doktor

 Isa sa masayang balitang dala-dala ni Melanie Marquez sa kanyang pagbabalik ng bansa ay ang pagiging magkasundo ng kanyang anak na si Manuelito at ama nitong si Senador Lito Lapid.

“Mas madalas na ang communications nila ngayon, minsan nga they communicate through me. Wala namang naging problema ang anak ko sa dad niya. Naapektuhan lamang sila nang magkaroon kami ng gap ng dad niya. But they’re okay now.

 “Hindi na ipinagpatuloy ng anak ko ang pag-aaral ng medisina. Hindi niya kinaya. He has shifted to business management and will be graduating next year. Balak niyang magbakasyon ditto, wala pa lang defibite date,” sabi ng mas maganda, mas relaxed at mas masayang dating Miss International despite the hassle of managing a household on her own.

 “Alam n’yo naman sa Sates, hindi uso ang household help, mahal kasi. So I cook, I take care of my husband and children but I’m happy doing all of these.

 “Ako kasi ang tipo ng babae na masaya kapag okay ang family ko. Kaya saan man ako pumunta, kasama ko ang mga anak ko. I was sad leaving my daughter Maxine here, paano nag-aaral siya. But I came back to attend her graduation sa South Xavier High School. I will be bringing her back with me to Utah where her other siblings are waiting for her eagerly. I can stay only a week here, I have to come back for her graduation and to fulfill my other commitments to Psalmstre whose products I solely endorse. Nagkaron nga raw ng issue nang mawala ako na kesyo nagkaroon kami ng away ni Jim Acosta, owner of Psalmstre, at nilayasan ko siya.

 “Of course not, Jim is such a dear friend, very supportive of my role as wife and mother. May constant communication kami kaya alam niya kung kailan ako babalik. Hindi lang naman sa New Placenta ako on leave, nag-leave of absence din ako sa school where I am enrolled in a law course. I’ll be back in March to resume all my responsi­bilities here,” sabi niya.
