Sharon gives her all in ‘Caregiver’

Megastar Sharon Cuneta is back to her greatest passion — acting. “I can never be a complete person without acting. ‘Pag hindi ako umaarte, parang kulang ang araw ko. (If I am not acting, it seems my day isn’t complete),” she said.
She’s currently shooting “Caregiver” for Star Cinema. The film presents a very timely story about a Filipina caregiver who is caught between her responsibility to her family back home and the patient she takes care of in a foreign land.
When the actress read the script of the project, she said yes right away. According to Sharon, what endeared her to the project was the fact that it would be meaning ful to overseas Filipino workers, the very group of people whose lives she wants to uplift.
Being the wife of Sen. Francis Pangilinan, Sharon is bent on pursuing causes for the working classes.
However, the actress clarified that for now she would rather help OFWs in her capacity as a movie star and citizen, instead of going into politics herself.
She’s no stranger to politics, after all, having grown up as the daughter of Pablo Cuneta, the longtime mayor of Pasay City.
Sharon said that for now she would rather stay behind the scenes when it comes to politics, letting her senator husband be the one in the thick of things.
“I have no time for politics. I think it’s not my cup of tea,” she said.
And while she does her share of socio-civic activities, she never likes to have them publicized — except in projects where she’s sponsoring budding musical talents.
Sharon said that her being a singer herself is a lifetime commitment to the arts, including helping other talents who also want to make it in the business.
While “Caregiver” is a family drama, it also tackles important issues affecting overseas Filipino workers and how government can protect their welfare.
Sharon and the rest of the cast and crew of “Caregiver” will soon fly to London and other parts of Europe, where many Filipino caregivers are working, in order to shoot scenes for the film.
