Sharon Cuneta apologizes, shares story behind Kiko Pangilinan’s 'pugot ulo' photo

MANILA, Philippines — “Megastar” Sharon Cuneta admitted that she was at fault for posting a recently viral photo of her politician husband Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan with no head on her official social media account.

At a round table interview last night following her performances to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the “Sheroes” campaign of Filipino insurance company InLife (Insular Life) for which she is the endorser, the award-winning actress-singer disclosed that the picture was a product of her indiscretion.

“Nag-aaway kami nu’n,” Sharon professed when Philstar.com asked her at the group interview about the photo.

“Sorry,” she continued, “You know, we have problems, that’s another thing. How stupid was I, ‘di ba?”

She recalled the moment when she decided to share a photo featuring her children alongside their father, whose head was cropped in the image.

“But also, really, I wanted (a photo of) my gremlins, of the four (her kids). Wala akong makita na picture nila na wala ang daddy nila.” 

She instantly deleted the photo and regretted what she did.

“But then, pagka-post ko, ‘OMG, mukha akong tanga, but ko pinost, putol ‘yung asawa ko!” she said.

Because of what happened, Sharon said she has become more conscious of thinking twice before sharing anything on social media. She said that like any other couple, Pangilinan and she have their disagreements, but they reconcile with a kiss at the end of the day.

“Kahit na medyo nagkakagulo kami, Kiko and I have problems, just like any other married couple,” she acknowledged.

She stressed that although they face problems, she and her husband have never fought because of a third party.

“But it was never because of someone else. It’s never because of someone else,” she reiterated.

She stood up for Kiko as a loving husband and father to her children, even to her daughter with her ex-husband Gabby Concepcion, KC.

“And I would tell you that Kiko has been a good father to KC since we dated since she was nine. Since we married when she was 11,” Sharon said. 

“I don’t know what her beef with me was, but she would post about me before, that’s why ‘di ko maiiwasan, there are hurt feelings now.”
