ANGEL AQUINO REVEALS A LONG-KEPT SECRET

oh ! what a angelique face, she is so beautiful, im with here kanina sa front desk ng The Spa. . .all i can say ahm she so nice by helping me holding all the G.C's. . .


We all know that she has two children from a failed marriage, something she never tried to hide. But did you know that Angel Aquino has a well-kept secret which she was constrained to reveal only now, and quite by accident, in an interview with Showbiz Stripped. Actually, it was Angel’s mom who made the revelation. Yes, Angel comes from what we’ll have to politely call "the other family" and she and her three siblings were raised single-handedly by their mother, with their absentee father (now dead) hardly showing up even if he was sending financial support every now and then.
"That’s why at an early age," said Angel in a candid "true confession," "I learned how to help my mother earn a living."
Bringing up four children and sending them to school while at the same time trying hard to make ends meet can be challenging for any single mother, an Herculean task, but Angel’s mother struggled on.
"So she wouldn’t leave home," said Angel, "my mom thought of a small business based at home. She made pulvoron and other foodstuff, and we, brothers and sisters, did the selling around the neighborhood in Barangka, Marikina City, where we grew up. We also sold hard-boiled eggs. My mom was very resourceful. Kung anu-anong negosyo ang naiisip niya."
There has been a reversal of roles. Now that she’s doing well in showbiz, Angel, as the eldest of the children, has assumed the role as main breadwinner. She has bought a house at Vista Verde in the neighboring Cainta town, sent her younger siblings to school, helped them set up their own families (one sibling now lives in their old house in Barangka with her own family) and let her mom enjoy the luxury of not working (except keeping the house).
"She looks after her grandchildren," said Angel who got pregnant when she was 19 and still a student in UP Baguio. Her husband left for the US after Angel gave birth to their second child and has never been heard of since then. "It’s been almost seven years," added Angel. Their marriage has been annulled.
