Sharon Cuneta was asked if she has plans to enter politics
Megastar Sharon Cuneta asserted that she has no “stomach” for politics despite her life having been entangled in the political arena.
Sharon has been in the entertainment industry since she was young. She is the daughter Pablo Cuneta who served as Pasay City Mayor for several terms. At a young age, she was already exposed to the world of politics.
She is married to politician Kiko Pangilinan. With this, her life is always entangled in the political arena. Sharon was visible during her husband’s campaign stints in the past and this will apparently repeat as the former Senator filed his certificate of candidacy to return to the Senate.
In a recent interview, based on the article in Manila Bulletin, Sharon Cuneta was asked about her birthday wish since she will be celebrating her birthday on January 6.
“Just good health for my family and me. Success for all of them also. Going out of my circle, I wish for a more peaceful and prosperous country,” the Megastar shared. She stressed that she never dreamed of seeing herself being in politics.
The seasoned actress said that she has no stomach for politics. “I always say this: I may have the brains for it, and I certainly have the heart for it, but I am not sure if I have the stomach for it,” she said.
Sharon also said that she told her husband that it’s not half-half because she is 99 percent not interested in entering politics. However, she said, “I never say never. So, one toe is into the door.”
She also said that she is in the season in her life when she would be most effective there or just stay in the lane. The actress-singer said that she can do a good job if she puts her one hundred percent into something.
“I can serve in my own way without being in public office. I will leave that to Kiko. He has the best intentions, stomach, and heart for it. So he’s the one who should be in politics,” she said.
Currently, Sharon Cuneta is still active in doing showbiz engagement. She just finished her concert tour with her ex-husband Gabby Concepcion and now, she is promoting her new series Saving Grace with Julia Montes.
