After expressing her excitement over Yolanda, which was her comeback movie supposedly, actress-turned-public servant Cristina “Kring Kring” Gonzales announced she decided not to push through with the project as she wants to “focus and concentrate more in Tacloban,” where she is Councilor.
On her Facebook page, the Councilor posted, “Will be focusing and concentrating more in Tacloban, so sadly, I will not have time to push through with the movie Yolanda! Maybe next time after the elections next year. But was looking forward to work with Direk Gorio (Vicuña) but will really have no time!!! God bless the movie!!!”
The production team headed by Director Gorio Vicuña, who was based in Hollywood for 10 years, is saddened by the news, as initial photo shoots have already been done for the movie that promises to inspire people, change hearts, and transform lives.
In an exclusive interview, The Standard today quoted Kring Kring as saying she is just postponing her comeback movie because she really wants to push through with it when she finds the time.
“Even my husband (Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez), and daughters also got sad. My political PRs advised me to concentrate on my tasks as public servant first. That’s my top priority now. I have received SMS, emails, and Facebook messages after my post. I want to cry,” said an emotional Cristina.
She further said that she has so many things to do especially for tourism in Tacloban, which was hardest hit by typhoon Yolanda in 2013.
“I am praying for my career as a politician by God’s grace kung gusto Niya ako maglingkod pa in the next level, so be it. I know God will tell me what to do. He has better plans for me and my family,” added Cristina, who clarified that she has no definite political plans as of the moment, referring to news that she might run for mayor of the city because it is the last term of her husband.
