Sheryl Cruz slams rumors that her mom is in PH to ruin Grace Poe’s campaign
Sheryl Cruz: If my mom comes here, she has the right to visit because we are her children.Sheryl Cruz has dismissed speculation that her mother, Rosemarie Sonora, came to the country to criticize Senator Grace Poe’s candidacy.

Rosemarie is the sister of Grace’s adoptive mother, Susan Roces, and has long been associated with the senator’s biological mom.

Sheryl replied, “We’ve been holding it in for so long. We haven’t spoken for too long, right?

“So, just for us, this is it, I hope they’re enough to feel sorry for our names. We kept quiet.

“Can’t my mom come here, visit us?

“Does everyone need to be informed about their visit here?

“Does it need to be smeared that a politician sent her here?”

Sheryl was interviewed by selected entertainment reporters after the press conference proper of the upcoming GMA-7 primetime series Once Again, which was held on the 17th floor of the GMA Network Center, on Thursday night, April 21.

It is noteworthy that Sheryl quickly left the function room after the press conference proper, but was blocked by several entertainment reporters before getting off the elevator.

Here, Sheryl could not hold back her tears because of the rift between her and her cousin Senator Poe.

It can be recalled that Sheryl once openly said that she was not in favor of Grace running for the highest position in the country in the 2016 elections. Sheryl tearfully explained when reminded about what she had said before, “I just said my piece before because that’s my opinion, and everybody is entitled to their opinion.

“Now, if my mother comes here, she has the right to visit because we are her children.

“He also needs to be with us because life is short.

“He can’t always be with us and we don’t know how long we will live.

“So, I hope he will just silence us.

“Is this the government with a heart? That’s all mine, huh.”

However, the Kapuso actress insisted that there is no truth to the rumors that she plans to call a press conference to destroy her cousin.

She said, “No, because everything they write is already hurtful and untrue.

“The lies they are telling against us, because we don’t do anything.

“We don’t say anything.”

Also know Sheryl’s final statement about Senator Poe.

“We are not running for any positions so I hope they will just silence us.

“Because we have no intentions, we don’t want anything.

“We are just simple people, we are just simple citizens.

“We are working well so I hope they don’t drag us into their political aspirations, because they are already too hurtful.”

Despite Sheryl’s allegations against Grace, the senator has not made any official statement that could be said to have expressed any resentment against the actress.

There has long been speculation that Grace is Rosemarie’s daughter with former President Ferdinand Marcos, but the senator and even her adoptive mother, Susan, have denied this several times.
