Here’s an interesting twist to the Charice coming out story. Her mother, whom the singer is currently estranged from, calls herself an ex-lesbian.
“I used to be a lesbian,” an emotional Raquel Pempengco, mother of Charice, told the media in a press conference held at their Marikina residence on June 7, Friday.
The international singer’s mother related that she turned her back on homosexuality after her mother, Tess Relucio, convinced her to build her own family.
Her marriage with Rick Pempengco eventually bore two children, Charice and Carl.
Racquel also laments that Charice seems to have turned her back on her family.
In a lengthy open letter she read before the members of the press, Raquel said she’s pinning all her hopes through prayers.
Accompanied by her son Carl, Racquel admits she doesn’t approve of the people who surround Charice, but she hopes that they will take care of her only daughter.
This is a really sad story. Stay strong Charice, and know that being yourself, keeping no secrets is the way to go.
