Cristine apologizes to Ara

Cristine Reyes finally broke her silence and apologized to her sister Ara Mina, hoping that their feud will be resolved for the sake of their family.

Ara filed libel and grave coercion charges against Cristine for allegedly spreading malicious text messages against her over an alleged unpaid debt.

Without getting into details about the issue, Cristine sent this message to Ara on

"The Buzz" on Sunday, June 24: "I'm sorry and I would like to apologize if ever I offended you."

Cristine, whom  “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda interviewed on air, said she tried to talk to Ara.

"Sumama ang loob mo sa akin. I tried my best na pumunta sa iyo, alam mo iyan ate. Sinabi ko pa iyan sa iyo na kung gusto mo luluhod ako sa harapan mo, noon-noon pa ito," Cristine told Ara.

Ara  said in interviews that she filed charges because she wants to teach Cristine a lesson. Ara also wants her to sincerely apologize.

Cristine hopes  her apology will lay all issues to rest.

"Sana lumambot na ang puso mo sa akin para maayos na itong gulo para tahimik na. Para sa pamilya natin, sa ikakatahimik ng pamilya natin," she addressed Ara.

Lessons learned

Amidst the problems she is facing, Cristine learned to be strong and to always keep the faith.

"Sa lahat ng experiences, troubles and problems sa buhay, narealize ko na huwag tayong susuko. Sa bawat troubles mo, may natututunan ako. Doon ako lalong tumitibay. Kasama siya sa buhay talaga," Cristine admitted.

"Mas lalo kong nakita yung mga taong andiyan talaga sa tabi ko. Sa totoo po, mas lalo akong nalapit kay God."
