MEGASTAR Sharon Cuneta is all out in her support for her uncle, Tito Sotto, who is running for senator. She reveals that she has volunteered to support the husband of her Auntie Helen, the youngest sister of her Mommy Elaine, whom she refers to as her "Fad" (for Father).
Tito, on the other hand, considers her as his "eldest daughter."
During the shoot of her ad for Sotto, she related to the press how the moment she got the green light for the endorsement, she immediately sent a text message to him.A few days before, she went to a presscon thrown by Regal’s Lily Monteverder for Sharon’s kumpare, Jinggoy Estrada, a reelectionist senator, but did not openly endorse him.
"’Yung kay Pareng Jinggoy, ’di ba, hindi pa ako makaano, I could not even say na ‘tulungan natin,’ ganu’n. "Pero the very minute talaga na I just got my go, which you know what, thank God, was the next day, I texted him (Tito Sotto) right away and said, ‘I just got my go, so please, please, can I volunteer to do a commercial with you or ganyan, whatever, ’di ba? ‘Yung hanggang kung puwede ’yung picture namin nasa lata, baso, pamaypay, tarpaulin, anything," she reveals.
Sharon says she has always been close to the family of her "Fad," who has four kids, three girls (Apples, Lala, the youngest Ciara) and one boy, Gian, who is running for councilor in the third district of Quezon City. "Sabi ko, ‘daddy, sorry, kasi ngayon lang. Sabi ko, I just want you to know that I don’t take your treating me as your eldest daughter very lightly. In other words, dinidibdib ko ’yon mula nu’ng pagkabata. "Sabi ko nga, sorry po, ngayon lang, kasi nahihiya rin ako mula nu’ng tumakbo siyang vice mayor, senador, ’di ba, super lakas siya, tingin ko, I was never needed.
"Tapos ang sagot naman niya, ‘alam mo naman, ayokong nang-aabala.’ Oo nga naman, dapat ako ang nagpupumilit," she further reveals. "Actually kahit nung last election, naalala n’yo yun? Hindi ako nakasama sa kampanya kasi kumakampanya rin si Kiko. Pero bawat lugar na pupuntahan namin, kinakampanya ko rin siya. Tapos nire-report ko sa kanya. ‘Da, in-announce ko rin po kayo.’ Kung saan-saan kami nakakarating nun."
She also praised Tito for being a good family man.
"Hindi naman kaya ni Auntie Helen na palakihin lahat ang kanilang mga anak. Tumulong talaga si Fab. Talagang haligi siya ng pamilya."
Tito says he considers it a boost that no less than one of the country’s biggest stars is endorsing him. Sharon joins other stars, including Tito’s brother Vic Sotto, friend Joey de Leon, hosts Boy Abunda and Kris Aquino, in supporting him.
