What more if Katherine Luna is an award-winning actress worthy of adulation and emulation from a lot of Waraynons, Leytenos and Leytenas, how can a bad press ruin an icon?
To hell with the day of reckoning has come to Katherine.
Instead, humility got the better of her.
It was when she apologized to Coco Martin for implicating him in the alleged father of her child at the time.
Katherine said that her new-born baby at the time was Coco’s kid.
The couple saw, met and fell in love with each other at the set of the award-winning film “Masahista” until she bore a baby girl.
At first, the actress announced to all and sundry that her daughter was Coco’s love child.
However, at the time, Martin was skeptical about the real identity of the child so a DNA test was made.
In an interview with Boy Abunda, Coco said that the results of the DNA test were negative, that he isn’t the father of the kid.
And so, the issue became moot and academic.
Life went on for Luna and Martin.
After the controversy, Katherine lied low in her acting career while Coco was starting to do a lot of movies for internationally acclaimed director Brillante Ma. Mendoza.
Film projects were offered to Coco left and right while Katherine was rumored to have raised her own family by broiling and selling pork barbecue near Paco Park as she had retired from show business.
Until newscaster and vlogger Julius Babao got her on camera for his “Unplugged” video show.
It was in the intimate and exclusive interview that Luna admitted she did wrong to Coco. “I am sorry for what I did,” he sincerely intimated albeit in public. “I hope you forgive me,” stressed the actress.
According to Kath, she got into drugs and was nabbed and jailed for four years.
The award-winning actress for the film “Babae sa Breakwater,” an Entertainment Warehouse production from producer Arlene Aguas, said she was a victim during the war on drugs by former president Rodrigo Duterte.
She said she and her former boyfriend were arrested inside their house without a warrant of arrest.
Luna and her lover were incarcerated for four years that motivated her to mend her ways.
Katherine admitted that she became sickly after prison, most of it was her impaired vision, the reason why she is covering her left eye with her long hair.
Now that she has spoken about the real identity of her child, Coco said he has forgiven Katherine, Katherine Diaz Eson in real life.
Martin is willing to help his former girlfriend revive her career.
It’s obvious that he is considering her to become part of ABS-CBN daily action caper “Batang Quiapo.”
At the same time, Martin said he is taking Katherine to an eye surgeon to bring back her vision.
Luna is an award-winning actress for “Babae sa Breakwater” in the Cinemanila International Film Festival, Young Critics Circle (YCC) of the prestigious award body and Cine Fan, or the Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema, all of them given in 2004.
She was nominated as well in the much-coveted Urian Award of the critics group, Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino for the same movie in the same year.
