Matapos ang ilang taong pananahimik, nagsalita na ang aktres na si Maricar Reyes kaugnay sa pinagdaanan niya noon na itinuturing niyang “darkest chapter” ng kanyang buhay sa pamamagitan ng kanyang isinulat na libro.
Kung matatandaan, nasangkot sa kontrobersiya si Maricar noong 2009 at kahit walang binanggit na insidente ang aktres, mukhang ito nga ang sex video scandal na ikinabit na sa pangalan niya ng mahabang panahon.
Sa kanyang website, sinabi ng aktres na ngayon lang daw niya isisiwalat ang lahat na mahigit isang dekada niyang hindi sinagot at iniwasang pag-usapan in public.
“This book focuses only on Maricar’s long journey and process of healing. Maricar wants to let women know that they are not alone in their struggles. There is always hope and a way out of any dark situation,” saad ng official website ni Maricar.
Sa isa niyang Instagram post, nabanggit ng aktres kung gaano ka- meaningful sa kanya ang pagkakabuo ng nasabing libro, “It took a long time from 2009 to the start of when that thing happened to me publicly, until 2022. It took 12 years for me to write this book.
“So sobra siyang meaningful sa akin and it took a long time to heal and process. If you guys are going through something na mabigat or something na mahirap and you don’t know how to solve it, there’s really a process.
“And don’t be too hard on yourself if you feel like ang tagal. Kasi ako nga 12 years bago ako naging okay enough to really talk about it,” pahayag ng misis ni Richard Poon.
Sa isa pa niyang Instagram post nakasaad naman ang, “MY SOLO BOOK IS FINALLY OUT. 2009 – the year when a crisis changed my life. 13 years have passed and I’ve chosen not to talk about it…until now. Today, I’m finally telling my side of the story — how I bounced back from the darkest chapter of my life. Be one of the first to know about my journey towards overcoming online shame. I hope my story will help or inspire you to find a way out of your dark situation, whatever that may be. Remember, you are not alone and there is always a way out. Laging may SOLUSYON,” sabi ni Maricar sa kanyang caption.
“There are still people who are disrespectful in their comments. It took me 12 years to get to a point where I’m stable enough to talk about it and have a heart to help people. So kung meron kang pinagdadaanan na mabigat, it will take time. Parang i-mindset mo na ang sarili mo na it’s a marathon, it’s not a sprint. Kasi ang dami ngayon na parang quick sprint is the key, parang a lot of people want things to be fixed right away. And there are things that are fixed right away. Pero yung mga malalalim na bagay, especially in our own hearts if there are things that need to be fixed, yun ang mabigat at matagal. So don’t be too heard on yourself and be patient with the process,” dagdag niya.
