Actress and host Donita Rose admitted Oct. 16 in an episode of ABS-CBN show “Magandang Buhay” that she went through a period of financial difficulty.
“That particular day umiyak talaga ako. Para akong nabuhusan ng ulan. Nandoon ako sa kotse ko, iyak ako ng iyak. Sabi ko, ‘Lord, di ko na kaya ito.’” Donita, who has been officially separated from her husband Eric Villarama since December 2016, said.
After praying and talking to her manager, Donita received an offer the next day to act as Aga Muhlach’s pregnant wife on “Seven Sundays”, which saw its opening on Oct. 11.
“After that, sinabi sa akin may pelikula, ang pangalawang naisip ko, ‘Naku hindi pa ako fit, hindi pa ako ready’. Ang sagot, ‘Huwag kang mag-alala, kasi dito ay buntis ka’. Buntis ang role ko. So sobrang happy ako na nakasama ako sa pelikulang ito, dahil ang ganda-ganda ng pelikulang ito, promise,” ABS-CBN News quoted her as saying.
Earning P10 million during its premiere, “Seven Sundays” is a family drama about an overseas Filipino worker father who spent the last seven weeks of his life with his children.
Donita’s last movie was Lastikman in 2003.
