Raquel Pempengco made a response to the netizens and to her son, Jake Zyrus, after the singer released a book accusing his family members of maltreatment.
In her Facebook post, Raquel reminded the netizens that she successfully raised her children despite being a single parent.
She also said that no one really knew her family’s true story, and she was confident that the truth would come out soon.
“Walang ina ang naghangad ng ikakasama ng mga anak, tandaan niyo ‘yan. Kahit sino sa inyo hindi alam ang buhay ko, husgahan man ako kahit sino wala kong pakialam basta sa akin, napalaki ko sila ng ako lang mag-isa,” said Raquel.
Raquel also said that she would accept all the criticism against her.
“Kwento niyo yan malamang masaka ako diyan. Pero hindi ko alam ang kwento na ‘yan. Sanay na akong tawaging masama, kung yan ba ikakasaya niyo. Tanggap ko na ang pangalan kong Evil Queen. Basta ako alam ko sa sarili kong kwento pero di ko na isasalibro dahil ayoko ng may mapasama at madagdagan ang mga evil,” she stated.
It can be recalled that Jake accused his mother of using his own money without authorization.
He also revealed that his uncle took advantage of him when he was still six, but his mother didn’ believe him when he revealed it.
