Carla Abellana opened up about her separation with ex-husband, actor Tom Rodriguez, and admitted that she still laments what turned out of their seven-year relationship.
The actress got real when asked if she is “still in pain” after their split, during an interview for “Updated With Nelson Canlas,” as seen in GMA news show “24 Oras” on Friday, Nov. 11.
“Oo (Yes), definitely. I won’t even hesitate to answer and say yes,” she answered. “But ang pain kasi doesn’t disappear overnight. Gustuhin mo mang mawala na ‘yung pain, it’s — in a way— something you can’t control.” (But pain doesn’t really disappear overnight. Even if you want it to disappear, it’s — in a way— something you can’t control.)
“I recognize it enough na nandyan pa (that it’s still there), definitely,” she added. “Ayokong sabihing wala kasi hindi totoo ‘yon. Nandyan pa yan at matagal pa ‘yung proseso.” (I do not want to say that it is already gone because that is not true. It is still there and it is a long process.)
Abellana stated that her divorce from Rodriguez has not fully sunk in yet as it is still being processed to be recognized here in the Philippines. Rodriguez, an American citizen, was able to obtain a divorce decree in the United States where he is currently based.
