When asked for news about Mo Twister, Sharmaine Arnaiz (in photo) says that lately, Mo has not been sending money to his daughter Moira, whose mother Bunny Paras is Sharmaine's sister. Moira has been diagnosed with Friedrich Ataxia, a disease which attacks the spine. “Nag-support naman siya but then medyo matagal na ring hindi, lalo na nung time na medyo things were not settled anymore for him here and then he had to move to the States," she says.

Sa My Beloved huling napanood ang aktres na si Sharmaine Arnaiz bago siya muling mapapanood sa upcoming afternoon serye ng GMA na Kasalanan Bang Ibigin Ka?

 
“Ito yung first na talagang kasama na ako sa cast, dati parang guest lang ako, ngayon kasama ako sa pictorial, sa presscon,” sinabi ni Sharmaine nang makausap siya ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa presscon ng naturang show nuong May 29 sa 8 Spices restaurant.
 
 
Kasama rin sa show sina Jackie Rice, Geoff Eigenmann, Michael de Mesa, Angelika dela Cruz, Jennica Garcia, Bobby Andrews, Bubbles Paraiso at Pancho Magno, sa direksyon ni Mark Reyes.
 
 
Magsisimula na ito sa June 4. 
 
 
Mabait ba si Sharmaine dito o salbahe ang role?
 
 
“Hindi ko pa masabi kasi first taping week namin. Ang nasa story, ako ay hinawalayan ng asawa ko, si Michael.  I really don’t know what transpires after, kasi week one pa lang.
 
 
“Mapupunta si [Michael] kay Jackie, anak ko naman si Geoff at si Angelika.
 
 
“Nauna ang anak ko na karelasyon si Jackie, naghiwalay kami ni Michael, tsaka nakilala ni Michael si Jackie. So pagbalik ko at pagbalik ni Geoff galing abroad tsaka namin malalaman na yung babaeng nain-love siya, iyon yung ano pala ng asawa ko ngayon.
 
 
“Hindi alam ni Michael na nagkarelasyon pala ang anak niya at ang babaeng mapapangasawa niya.
 
 
“Ang pinaka-last ko na regular dito sa GMA ay yung Kung Mawawala Ka with Eddie Garcia, matagal na.
 
 
“Because after that, I got pregnant na so tuluy-tuloy na yun, nawala na ako sa showbiz.”
 
 
Ang direktor na si Maryo delos Reyes raw ang nagkumbinsi sa kanya na umarte muli sa harap ng kamera. Marami raw siyang naging proyekto dati kay Direk Maryo, kasama ng kapatid niyang si Bunny Paras.
 

NEWS ON MO. Naitanong namin kay Sharmaine kung sinusuportahan ba ni DJ Mo Twister ang anak nito kay Bunny?

 
 
“Nag-support naman siya but then medyo matagal na ring hindi, lalo na nung time na medyo things were not settled anymore for him here and then he had to move to the States.
 
 
“So I don’t really know what’s going on with his financial ano…
 
 
“Basta bago siya umalis papuntang Amerika, hindi na siya nagbibigay ng regular, bago siya umalis papuntang New York.
 
 
“Sabi ko nga… I think he felt bad na in-adopt ni Tom, yung asawa ni Bunny, si Moira [pangalan ng anak nila ni Mo]. So I texted him, sabi ko ‘Mo, why did you stop giving support to Moira?’”
 
 
Tom Greenway ang buong pangalan ng mister ni Bunny na ayon kay Sharmaine ay “very American but his mom is Ilocana.”
 
 
Going back to Mo na tinext nga ni Sharmaine…
 
 
“I texted him kasi I was bothered kasi ilang months na rin and then… ‘If you’re bothered na in-adopt ni Tom si Moira, it’s because…’
 
 
Sabi ko, ‘Bunny is not working now and kailangan ma-adopt si Moira dahil paano yung medical ano niya and everything?’
 
 
MOIRA'S HEALTH. “And this was before Moira was diagnosed with a new disease called Friedrich Ataxia. It attacks her… yung spine niya nagke-curve, nagke-curl na yung toes niya.
 
 
“Ito, nagke-curve yung ano, mawawala yung eyesight, she will not be able to walk, ganyan.
 
 
“Tapos ang last stage, bibigay yung heart.
 
 
“I’m sure he’s very affected dahil after that naman, nung na- confirm, because they brought her blood test to Boston and they confirmed na iyon ang sakit ni Moira.
 
 
"And then, tamang-tama, he moved to New York, hiniram niya si Moira sa New York.
 
 
“So binilhan niya ng… nakita niya siguro yung anak niya na ganun, na nagke- curl na yung toes... I’m sure affected siya kasi binilhan niya ng Mac Air kasi nga hindi siya puwedeng magdala ng mabigat.
 
 
“Five times na siyang nahulog just this year alone. Last time naano yung head ni Moira sa school.
 
 
“Sabi ko kay Bunny, ‘Bunny sabihin mo kay Moira baka dapat naka-wheel chair na siya.'
 
 
"Sabi ko, ‘What if something bad happens or talagang kailangan pa niya ng surgery just because…’
 
 
“And siyempre teenager, she feels the pressure in school na she wants to be a normal kid.
 
 
“Kaya paano nga maaano yung mga medical ni Mora kung hindi naman siya a-adopt ni Tom?”
 
 
Bago pa ang sakit nitong Friedrich Ataxia, may sakit na rin si Moira…
 
 
“Before kasi it was Miller Fisher. Ang Miller Fisher parang nerves lang, parang wobbly lang siya, she was wobbly the whole time, na ang tagal din bago na-diagnose.
 
 
“Ito mas grabe pa. Yung parang… okay na yung dati, na wobbly siya, huwag naman yung nagdi-degenerate siya ng ganun.”
 
 
NO CALLS, NO TEXT BACK. Ang isinagot raw ni Mo sa text niya ay…
 
 
“’I’ll call you.’ Which he never did. Hindi na kami [nagkausap].
 
 
“I figured na iyon ang reason.”
 
 
Galit ba siya kay Mo?
 
 
“Matagal akong nagalit sa kanya dati pero ngayon, I cannot  get mad at him, I don’t know what he’s going through, e.
 
 
"Parang ano na… ako ang habol ko lang, kung ano ang puwede mong ibigay na atensyon and love sa anak mo, ibigay mo na lang, iyon lang ang habol ko.
 
 
“Kasi in my head, that’s your daughter, it’s impossible na hindi mo maramdaman ang nararamdaman ko.
 
 
“Sabi ko, ‘Are you gonna wait until the last moment na hindi ka makabawi sa kanya?’ Di ba?”
 
 
Sina Mo at Bunny ba ay may komuniksayon pa?
 
 
“I don’t ask anymore kasi I get affected, e.”

    my thoughts exactly, maria and rambo. so much negativism. if she really cares about her niece, the best thing she can do is shut up. let the kid lead as normal and peaceful a life as possible. leave the dad and kid alone and let them nurture their relationship the best way they know how. happy nga sila. pati way of living ni mo, sinisilip. let him enjoy his life the way he sees fit. and please quit encouraging parasitism. if they see that someone has the means, "he lives lavishly. he should give blah blah". like someone has no right to spend his own money. let one share but to tell another what to do with his life or his money, subra man kamo lols..... parang yung iba na nagagalit pag hindi nabigyan ng money or sasabihin kulang ang padala, kala nila daming pera ng tao they are depending on. as if naman dapat silang padalhan lols. i have seen that, talked to many who have been in such a position kaya magtigil kayo. you don't know how much emotional distress you are giving the ones who toil overseas

    ..this is a matter between a child and her father and the woman who gave birth to this child. ..why is Sharmaine disclosing the health problems of her niece in a tabloid?..This maybe a known condition of her niece before but I dont think she is in any position to discuss it in public. Once or twice I read about this in Mo's interviews but never as detailed as this one.

    I follow Mo in Instagram and as I can see, Mo and Moira have a good relationship. They always comment on each other's photos. Kung si Moira walang problema kay Mo, bakit yung iba meron? Adopted na naman si Moira so Mo does not have any financial responsibilities to her anymore.

    Adoption is another piece of paper. It all depends on how the child was raised and cared for for her to feel that she belongs. There are a lot of adopted children but they are abused. I am not talking about seksual abuse but more on psychological and emotional abuse. The good thing with adoption is it is legal and binding. The child would have more entitlement.

    I think apart from the insurance, ginusto na rin seguro ng stepdad ni Moira na i-adopt siya para legal na ang lahat. That's what happened to KC, noong missing in action pa si Gabby, si Kiko ang nagpursigi na i-adopt siya to make her feel na she's really part of the family and not an oustider lang. So seguro ganyan ang nangyari sa kanila. Mahirap kasi lalo na pag nagdadalaga na ang bata, dapat talaga may sense of belongingness ang ipapakita sa kanya.

    I've been living here in California for the last 20 years and I know for sure that you don't need to adopt your stepchild to add him or her to your medical insurance plan. You can actually just ADD them as long as you are married to the mother.

    He knows English but he doesn't know math. He and his cohorts think that the value of pi is 2.14, and had the audacity to tweet that lito lapid wouldn't know what pi is, which he obviously didn't know neither.

    With the way things happened in Mo's life the past 5 years or so, he will be the last person I would give the benefit of the doubt. This guy has psychological issues. I used to like him more or less 15 years ago when he was with channel 2. I always watch his show Point of View with couple of other people and Cher Calvin. He is a lot better than the other three hosts. He is very intelligent, can carry a conversation with anybody, knows almost everything under the sun, very spontaneous, very witty, and funny too. I was thinking then, if he can only sing, he will be the next Martin Nievera. I don't know what happened to him. Was it the fame and/or the knowledge that he excels in his chosen field that went to his head?

    based on what she's saying, it doesn't sound like Mo is an irresponsible father. he's been supporting her, bought her a Mac laptop and all, but he is probably not making good money now and that's why the support has been halted. give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

    Dito sa states, pag nilegally adopt na ng step parent yung bata, wala nang financial responsibility yung daddy sa bata. Yun nga lang, pinoy tayo so para sa atin tayo pa rin ang magulang kaya expected na magbibigay pa rin ng financial support... I do agree na Mo needs to spend more time with his daughter, but siguro he doesnt know what tp feel right now or bak natatakot sya na while nasa care nya yung anak nya ek sumpungin ng sakit and magpanic sya. Although, Im pretty sure he can research and study the condition and situation of Moira...

    It's a shame that you have to have your child adopted by another person so she can get insurance. Mo is soimething else, living life like he has no responsibilities. He's even going to London for the Olympics, when his kid could use that money or even use that time to spend with his daughter. All those gadgets that he brags about, living in a high end apartment in a very expensive city. He takes good care of his dog better than he does his daughter.tsk tsk

    Isn't it ironic that he created so much drama about the "lost" child when he has one who needs all the kind of support he can and should give?

    I really feel bad if its true that Mo doesn't support his child. Based on his tweets, it seems that he's been living lavishly sa New York.
