MANILA, Philippines – Megastar Sharon Cuneta revealed she has been thinking of “semi-retiring,” but assured fans that she might do a concert or a movie once in a while.
Sharon revealed her plan Tuesday in an Instagram post where she shared her thoughts on temporarily parting ways with daughter Frankie Pangilinan who will pursue her college education in New York.
“Since last year l have seriously been thinking of semi-retiring. I am so very tired. It has been 41 years of work, work, work for me, and at some point, kailangan na rin sabihin sa sarili na ‘tama na,’” Sharon said.
“Maybe I’ll do a concert here and there every once in a while, or a movie that I feel will really be worth the few months it’ll take me away from my home and family,” she continued.
While she truly loves her “Sharonians,” Sharon said she feels tired and wants to enjoy her private life.
“Sinasabi ko na sa inyo ito, mga mahal kong Sharonians. Mahal na mahal ko kayo…pero pagod na rin si Mama,” Sharon admitted.
She added, “Di naman siguro ako biglang forever na mawawala…pero konting-konti na lang siguro ang kakayanin kong ibigay until magpahinga na ako at i-enjoy naman ang tinatawag na private life na alam ng karamihan pero tungkol saan kokonti lang ang alam ko…”
The seasoned actress and singer also clarified her plans to semi-retire has nothing to do with daughter Frankie going abroad for her studies.
“I know you will all understand. I love you all and this has nothing to do with Kakie leaving,” she said.
“Like I said, last year ko pa naiisip at nararamdaman ito, at kinausap ko na rin ang pamilya at manager at team ko noon pa tungkol dito.”
