Celebrity mom Gladys Reyes will take on another kontrabida role in TV5’s upcoming fantasy series, Enchanted Garden.

Despite being busy with work, Gladys shares how she's a hands-on mom to her three kids—Christophe, 5; Aquisha, 3; and Grant Carlin, 1.

Especially now that it's back-to-school season, Gladys sees to it that her kids can count on her every step of the way.

“Yes. So, I personally enroll them. I was with them nung in-enrol ko sila. Inalam ko sa mga teachers kung ano yung mga pangangailangan.

“And kanina, bumili kami ng mga school things, school bags. I was with the kids. Ako mismo, oo, sa mall, sa department store, ako mismo. Ako kasama nila namimili.

“Gusto ko nakikita ko sa mukha nila na ang saya-saya nila pag 'eto yung napili nilang school bag, yung ganun, di ba. Hindi mababayaran yung joy na yun, e,” Gladys’s face lights up as she recalls the day with her kids.

Back-to-school shopping is indeed a family affair for them, even her husband Christopher Roxas joins them.

“Pagkatapos nun, siyempre, bonding na naman with the family, Timezone o kaya naman fun runs o kaya naman we’ll eat out, ganyan. So yung mga ganun ba.

“Kasi ang bilis lumaki nung mga bata. Ang sinasabi ko lagi kay Christopher, we have to savor each moment with our kids kasi before you know it, ayaw na niyang magsasama sa’yo, di ba.

“Mas gusto niya yung sariling set of friends niya. Gusto ko bago dumating yung mga panahon na yun, quotang-quota na ko.

“Yung wala 'kong panghihinayangan na oras na, 'Ay, sana pala sinama ko sila nang sinama, sana nakasama ko na sila lagi.'

“Hindi ako makakaramadam ng ganung guilt kasi nga, lagi ko silang kasama,” she said with pride.

STAYING FIT. We remarked how she's still fit despite having three kids. Surprisingly, Gladys tells us she hardly has time to exercise, what with all her responsibilities as a mother and as an actress.

“Kasi pag nakita mo din naman yung mother ko, hindi naman din talagang tabain.

“Medyo hindi rin naman kami big-boned, so, sa totoo lang, guilty ako pag ang pinaguusapan exercise, wala akong exercise, e.
