GABBY'S RETURN. The press and media people, obviously interested about the reaction of the Megastar about her ex-husband, brought up the article that was put out by Ricky Lo in Philippine Star.

Sharon shot back, "What did I say there?"

Then she added with a laugh, "I am ano talaga...I wanted to take a vacation when I found out my contract signing was today, so I'm leaving in two days for London."

But her tone turned a bit grave when she tackled the recent statement she released. "But can I just say this, I honestly, honestly don't know... It's different when someone is far away and different when [he's here]. I didn't see his interview, but I'd been told. I was told about it only this morning after I finished singing, before I got home. But what I said in the diyaryo that's essentially it."

Since Gabby arrived last Sunday, March 30, fans have been entertaining the idea of a Sharon-Gabby movie, so is there a possibility?

"I hope you understand that it's a very sensitive issue and I'm in a situation that's intrigue-friendly. But I'll say that I wish that we could do a movie together because we each have our own life. There are people in our lives now that mean more to us than we once meant to each other, and it's not just our feelings anymore. There are other people involved. So as an actress, a professional that has been here for thirty years, it would have been a wonderful thing to work with someone like [Gabby].

"So, I'm so comfortable...not...I couldn't use 'comfortable,' I'd say 'used to' working with [him] ‘coz we did grow up together. Then, I started my career with him. It's been so long, when we did Dear Heart, I was 15, I'm now 42. My daughter is turning 23 on April 7. And at 23, I was already a single mother who immersed myself in work and refused to have a day off, except to be with KC, ‘coz I needed to work."

MIXED EMOTIONS. The intelligent and voluble Sharon admitted having mixed emotions when she heard about resurrecting her screen tandem with her former husband.

She said, "I'm actually amazed and half-surprised and half-not really, that we still have a huge following, and that Tita Malou Santos told me that the biggest clamor is for a movie, Sharon-Gabby."

And Gabby's arrival made her realize one thing.

"It's hard lang talaga and I really don't know. I'm so sorry and as honestly as I can put it, I don't know what to say but I just realized..." she said. "I don't know if it was printed, but I told Kuya Ricky that I realized only recently that when I come across something about him—there's no more pain.

"Because I'm in a good position now. God blessed me with a husband who's really loving and caring. I have a great family and I would not do anything to disrupt the peace and the happiness of the home that we have. And I'm sure Gabby also feels the same thing."

One of the media people pointed out that KC welcomes the idea of being in a movie with her mom and/or dad, what can she say?

To this, Sharon answered lengthily, "When she started doing commercials, she was 16. It's not that I don't want it too, and she was right also....It must have been hard for my daughter to make her own mark and step out of my shadow kasi babae siya....So I understood totally.

"So once she had established herself, not just as a model in commercials, but as an endorser, meaning, she was bringing her name to it. It's not just the product's name on it, it's her name already that had some importance. Then that was when we did our one and only commercial together, which is the Eskinol. That was also in 2003, before she went to Paris. And then, I guess, it would be the same in movies."
