MANILA, Philippines — Muling nakasama ng aktres na si Lotlot de Leon ang kanyang tunay na ama sa oras ng kanyangika-52 niuang kaarawan noong nakaraang buwan.
Sa isang mahabang Instagram post, inamin ni Lotlot na alam niyang ampon siya nina Nora Aunor at Christopher de Leon.
“Didn’t know what it meant before until my mom sat with me one day and explained. She said the difference between me and Ian was that my brother came from her stomach, I was a gift from above. (Mom pointing at mama Mary the statue.),”(“Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig sabihin noon hanggang sa umupo ang aking ina sa akin isang araw at nagpaliwanag. Ang pinagkaiba daw namin ni Ian ay galing sa tiyan ang kapatid ko, regalo ako sa itaas. (Itinuro ni nanay kay mama Mary ang rebulto.),”) sinabi niya.
“Cried for hours after that. Not because I didn’t know who my real parents were but because I wanted to be like Ian too, na galing din sa stomach nya because I love my mom so much gusto ko totoong anak din nila ako ni dad,”(“Umiiyak ng ilang oras pagkatapos noon. Not because I didn’t know who my real parents were but because I wanted to be like Ian too, na galing din sa tiyan niya because I love my mom so much gusto ko totoong anak din nila ako ni dad,”) dagdag niya.

Sinabi ni Lotlot na hindi siya nakaramdam ng pagkamuhi sa kanyang biological parents pero curious siya sa kanila.
“At (to be honest) nagdasal ako na makilala ko sila balang araw. Gusto ko din sila makilala. Fast forward sa maraming taon. Out of luck or destiny I was at the municipal hall of Olongapo and someone passing by said.. ‘Lot nung baby ka, sa amin ka nakatira.’ Since sa Olongapo nga ako pinanganak. Sabe ko suntok sa buwan I’ll ask kung may alam sila sa totoong tatay ko. I was able to talk to someone who accommodated me and since alam ko na name ng father ko binigay ko ang details ng information na meron ako. Ilang araw pagkatapos noon ay ipinadala sa akin ang kanyang buong pangalan, ang pangalan ng kanyang asawa at anak na babae.. aking ate!” sabi niya.
“Hinanap online. Nakakuha ng e-mail address. In my head that time, try lang naman.. kung hindi nya ako sagutin.. okay lang. Hindi ko na nilagay sa isip ko that he would. Sumulat ako.. ‘Hi Mr. Olson, my name is Lot de Leon, my biological moms name is Eva Rodriguez.. are you my father?’ Something like that, then he replied and said, ‘Yes, I know who you are .’ ‘I’ve always know about you I carry you in my arms when you were born.’ My jaw dropped & the rest is history,” dagdag niya.
Sinabi ni Lotlot na nagpapasalamat siya na sa wakas ay nakilala niya ang kanyang ama.
“Bawat isa sa atin ay may kwento. Marami din tayong plano sa buhay. Pero ang plano pa din ni Papa God ang mangingibabaw,” sinabi niya.
“So here I am standing side by side with my Papa and I’m grateful in many ways. Forgiveness, humility and prayers goes a long way. If not for the decisions they made.. the time they made it. I wouldn’t have the people I love most in my life too now. Looking at the glass half full with gratitude. Always,” dagdag niya.
