Sheryl says about this development, "If she is returning to showbiz, I would gladly welcome her back.

"We need a lot of good actors and triple threats kasi si Donna. Magaling umarte at magaling kumanta.

"She lives in Cebu, and she needs her privacy. She's closer sa [relatives on my] father's side. Ako, I'm closer to my mother's side."

PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) talked to Sheryl at the presscon of GMA-7's latest Dramarama Sa Hapon offering, Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin, last night, October 4, at the 17th floor of GMA Network Center.

DIVORCE. Sheryl then opened up about her divorce from her husband of 12 years, Norman Bustos. 

"I need to focus on issues like my divorce," she says.

"Everything has been settled since August 2010 but, of course, it will take some time for me to recover.

"Hopefully, it's progressing, not regressing."

Sheryl and Norman tied the knot three times.

First, in 1996 in civil rites held in Lake Tahoe, Nevada; the second, in a Catholic wedding in the Philippines the same year; and the last, in 1997 in a church in San Francisco, California.

Asked about the reason for their divorce, Sheryl states, "It's a whole lot of reasons.

"People would presume it's because of a third party or it's a long-distance relationship, pero tanging mag-asawa lang ang makakaalam.

"What's important is that Norman and I are civil when it comes to our daughter Ashley."
