Actress-Politician Cita Astals Denies Rumors That Had Become Homeless
CITA ASTALS – The former actress and Manila City Councilor addressed rumors suggesting that she had become homeless after her stint in showbiz and politics.
Recently, the YouTube Channel “Julius Babao UNPLUGG” shared the interview video of Cita Astals after her showbiz and political career. The video immediately circulated on social media and elicited comments from the netizens.
Astals confirmed that, indeed, she was the woman in the viral photo on social media. However, she strongly denied the allegations that she had become homeless.
The former actress confirmed that the controversial photo was shot in 2009 during a visit to Manila City Hall. She expressed sorrow that the photo had been incorrectly interpreted as showing her in a state of extreme poverty.
The ex-politician lamented the fact that media sources had not taken anything to correct the false information that had been spread about her, despite efforts to clarify the record.
Astals also denied claims that she was having difficulties, claiming that she was able to enjoy a typical life. Astals became well-known for her part in the popular sitcom “Home Along Da Riles,” in which she played Dolphy’s boss.
The actress was featured in numerous television shows and movies, leaving a mark in the hearts of Filipino viewers. She was later elected to the Manila City Council thanks in part to her popularity.
In the meantime, several online commenters have stated that they would like well-known actor and director Coco Martin to assist in rebuilding Astals’ acting career amid the conversation surrounding her career.
The former politician’s involvement with Martin’s projects, especially the relaunch of “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” is seen by many netizens as potentially beneficial for her.
