A ‘victim’ no more: Sunshine in control
If there’s one thing Cesar Montano regrets in the entire episode with wife Sunshine Cruz, it was that he underestimated her.
Now, with her pride intact and the same look that captivated admirers in her early years in show business, Sunshine is back, smarter and sexier than one intrepid showbiz observer might expect.

Actually, it also seemed Sunshine has emerged the winner.
Back to showbiz
She is now re-entering showbiz via “Dugong Buhay,” an ABS-CBN teleserye that will soon air.
The most interesting thing about her return to showbiz was that she didn’t need to seek Cesar’s permission. And, she also stated that their children, Angeline Isabel, Samantha Angeline and Angel Francheska, all approved of her move, despite the criticism that she was using the controversy to her gain.

Well, it may seem that way but apparently she is now using her smarts to ease her way out of her marital troubles, which began when Cesar was linked to actress Krista Miller. Sunshine had since left their marital home.
Look what you’ve missed
It started with the men’s magazine shoot that Yahoo! SHE dubbed “the best revenge.” [ http://ph.she.yahoo.com/the-best-revenge--sunshine-cruz-strikes-a-pose-for-fhm-s-april-2013-issue-105731286.html ]
It ended all notions that she would remain the victim, forever the “wronged wife” or the “woman scorned.”

Posing on the cover of FHM magazine clearly showed Sunshine is in control of her life and has the “balls” to really make that big jump.
Forgiveness key to her peace
With her return to showbiz, she proved that she was also incredibly prepared to face the rabid entertainment press and directly talk about the issue.
In media interviews, Sunshine declared “forgiving” Cesar for his actions that have allegedly led to their separation. She said this “forgiveness” led her to peace and happiness.

She also called Cesar the “best father” to her children and said she would not want to deprive him of that “honor” even if they are separated.
Will remain separated
Asked if her forgiveness of Cesar would lead to their reconciliation, she said it was “difficult” to consider it and that she would leave it all to God.
“Not yet. Let’s leave it as it is,” she said referring to her estrangement from Cesar.

Apparently, it only took the bold decision to leave their marital home for Sunshine to kickstart her moribund career, reclaim control of her life and finally find the happiness she deserves.
