Alma on separation from husband: ‘Ito na, desidido na ‘ko’

MANILA, Pilippines- Alma Moreno has  decided to divorce her husband, Marawi City Mayor Fahad Salic.

In an interview with entertainment talk show “Startalk” Saturday, January 11, Alma said that she’s “decided” about the divorce.

“Oo,” Alma replied emotionally if she’ll divorce her husband. “Ito na, desidido na ‘ko.”

Her decision, she said, is something she prayed and thought about for a long time. “Pinagdasal ko rin ‘yon, e. May mga pagkakataon na siyempre nahirapan din ako, na namimili ka kung ano…e, dumating na ako sa gano’n.

“Hindi ko mapaliwanag kasi mahirap, mahirap itong desisyon kong ‘to. Napakahirap, napakasakit, kasi hindi rin naman ako, na akala mo tama na ‘to, kala mo kaya mo lahat, ma-adjust mo lahat kahit ando’n siya sa malayo. Akala mo kaya, pero hindi, e.”

Alma admits that one factor that contributed to their relationship’s downfall is “mahirap ang relasyon na sobrang magkalayo kayo. And wala naman akong masasabi sa kanya, okay naman siya. Pero siguro ‘yong sabihin mo katulad ng dati, hindi, wala.”

The actress-politician also revealed that she hasn’t talked to her husband for a long time now, which is why she’s not sure how  her husband would react to her decision.

“Sa totoo lang? Hindi ko siya nakakausap,” she said forcing a smile. “Kasi alam ko hindi rin sya papayag siguro, e. basta matagal na kami hindi nag-uusap, gano’n na lang ‘yon. May ibang mga tao na lumalapit for [him]. Pero iba kasi kung siya, hindi ko alam kung may dahilan din.

“Pero alam ko hindi kami magkagalit, hindi, e, wala kaming away. Actually kasama nga ‘yon sa dasal ko, e, na at least okay siya, walang gulo. Pero ang hirap kasi, hindi ko alam kung gano’n ba talaga ‘yong ano nila sa kultura nila, ‘yong iba, e.”

Asked if her decision will change if Mayor Salic will pay her a visit, Alma replied, “Alam mo kapag ako hinihintay ko, mas masakit sa akin, e. Kasi baka naghihintay ka nang naghihintay tapos wala, mas masakit sa akin ‘yon. Mas maganda na mag-usap nang maayos.”

For now, Alma  said  she  is busy with a number of  political activities and  spending time with her children.
