When Dionisia Pacquaio (or simply Mommy D as she likes herself to be called from now on) sat down for her first press conference last week, she not only impressed entertainment columnists with makeover and designer gown but she also proved that she has a voice worthy of an album. After much cajoling from the press, she belted out her favorite song “Paper Roses” and “Isa Lamang Talaga” (popularized by her idol Imelda Papin,) the latter of which speaks about a man torn between two lovers.
Apparently, she used to sing the latter to her estranged husband who had been unfaithful to her. “Theme song ko [‘yan] sa ex-husband ko. ‘Pag marinig niya tumatalikod siya. [Lalo na kapag kinanta ko yung linyang,] ‘Isa lamang talaga hindi pwede magdalawa.’ Natamaan kasi sa kanta ko kaya tumalikod siya. Yun, sabi ko, ‘Bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan ‘wag kang magalit,’” she related.
Dionisia further shared that her son Manny wanted her and her ex to reconcile but she insisted that she can never trust a man who betrayed her once. “Ay ayoko na siyang bumalik. Nagsorry na ako sa mga anak ko, sabi ko, hindi ko na gusto na magbalikan kami. Ipakita pa ni Manny, yayakapin niya asawa niya saka sasabihin ganito ang magmahal ng asawa. Pero ako ang may ayaw,” she reiterated. “Iba talaga ako, taga-Leyte, higit ako umibig sa husband ko, pero ‘pag taksilan ako ayaw ko na, mawala na sa puso ko.”
At this point in her life, the 60-year-old confessed that she has no plans to remarry anytime soon. “Kaya nga ako nag-ayaw sa asawa ko, tapos humanap naman ako ng iba? Naku! Bigyan ko [lang] ng sakit ng ulo {ang sarili ko). Bahala mawala sa buhay ko ang lalake pero nungka mawala ang pera sa akin,” she exclaimed, much to everyone’s laughter. Just like a seasoned celebrity, Dionisia added that she has more important things to do than falling in love again. “Ang isip at puso ko busy lang sa paghahanap-buhay. Marami namang nag-iimbita sa akin na mag-guesting. Kumikita ako kahit hindi malaki, mabuhay na ako at makatulong na ako sa mga anak ko.”
With the fame she is enjoying right now, however, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were some who would try to woo her. To which she amusingly replied, “Ay humanda sila sa akin! Pero wala naman [sa ngayon]. Hindi naman ako nagpansin diyan [ng mga manliligaw] kasi makasira lang ‘yan sa career. Siyempre ang pag-in love natin sa mga anak na lang o sa life ko ngayon. Ang daming fans ko, dun ako nai-inspire. Mamahalin ko silang lahat [kasi] sila ang nagpapalakas ng loob ko.”
