Sharon Cuneta dismisses debt rumors

Actress Sharon Cuneta on Tuesday dismissed rumors that she has no "no more money left" following a Facebook post where she denied that her marriage to Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan is on the rocks due to an alleged third party.

"Apparently, some people became so concerned, mostly thinking that I had no more money left (especially to pay for my obligations!). Okay -- please understand that when wealthy people say they owe money and have no one to help them, all they mean is that "THEY HAVE NO ONE TO HELP THEM," and that "THEY ACTUALLY HAAAAAAAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY HAVE TO (KAYA NGA NAKAKATRAVEL PA NG "MAGANDANG" CLASS SA EROPLANO PAPUNTANG IBANG BANSA!), BUT JUST DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH TO BUY THEIR DREAM HOUSE IN, LET'S SAY AMERICA, WHICH COSTS ANYWHERE BETWEEN UNDER US$4 MILLION TO US$15 MILLION," the Megastar shared on her official Facebook page.

"All it means I guess is that you are just smarter about what you buy now, and about the timing of things. O-K-A-Y?!!! I just wish my Dad was here to help me. He always took care of everything," she added.

This came after her May 14 Facebook post wherein she wrote that she had been going through a hard time.

"In the past few weeks I've had two people die on me. A favourite auntie is sick. The start of filming for my movie with Star Cinema has been moved to September. I owe so much money (on very good investments not stupid stuff) and I have NO ONE IN THE WORLD TO HELP ME. I am probably the poorest, most cash-strapped billionaire you know (!). Etc., etc., etc." she said.

Cuneta then clarified that her debt is due to real estate investments and "nothing else."

She earlier denied that her husband Senator Pangilinan has an illicit affair with colleague Senator Risa Hontiveros, after an altered photo of the two Senators looking like they were holding hands surfaced.
