Carmina to BB: Be true to yourself

Carmina Villarroel feels she is not in the right position to advise BB Gandanghari regarding his plan of having a sex change.
 
But she wishes BB, formerly known as Rustom Padilla, her former husband, all the happiness in the world.
 
“Wala naman (akong comment), kasi di ba matagal naman na siyang natsitsismis? Hindi natin alam kung nangyari na ba or hindi. So, wala naman, kasi lagi ko naman sinasabi na kung saan siya liligaya, doon naman ako. Ako, I’m just so happy with my life, wala na akong mahihiling pa. Sana lang ganoon rin siya,” Carmina said during the press conference of her new Kapamilya teleserye “May Isang Pangarap” in Teatrino in Greenhills, San Juan on Thursday, January 17.

Carmina also wants BB to “be true” to himself.
 
“Importante na you really have to be happy. Kasi kapag happy ka, kapag may contentment ka sa puso mo, lalabas eh. Kahit anong makeup mo, kung wala kang peace of mind,” she said.
 
Carmina also hopes BB and his family settle any misunderstanding among them soon.
 
“Siyempre naman. Like what I said, I’m very happy with my life. So sana ganoon rin siya, yung pamilya niya. So sana maayos na, maybe in time.”
 
Adjusting to changes
 
Carmina shared the changes she has to undergo  after marrying longtime partner Zoren Legaspi.
 “Yung respect andoon and yung love mas humigit, na akala naming ay hindi na mhihigitan pa. Very cautious ka na sa mga gagawin mo, mga actions mo. At kapag nagsusulat ako ng signature, naninibago rin ako na may Legaspi na,”she said.
 
Carmina said she and Zoren would be very happy if they will be blessed with another child. Her daughter Cassy wants a sister, while her twin brother Maverick is content with the way things are.
 
“Sa amin naman, kung darating, darating. Pero we’re not really super trying. Hindi rin naman namin tinatanggal sa aming isipan na magkakaroon rin kami. So, kung mabiyayaan, thank you so much,” she said.
 
Return to primetime
 
After “Lorenzo’s Time,” Carmina returns to primetime with “May Isang Pangarap,” where she works with child stars again. The new teleserye features Larah Claire Sabroso and Julia Klarisse Base, who were discovered via ABS-CBN’s nationwide auditions.
 
Carmina sees herself in her kiddie co-stars when she was just starting in showbiz.
 
“Ang saya kasi very fresh. Alam mo na very sincere nung mga emotions nila. So, nakikita ko sarili ko nung nagsisimula ako. Medyo madali sa akin yung role ko kasi nanay rin ako.”
