During the press conference of her new talk show on GMA News
TV “MARS,” morning show host and
celebrity mom Suzi Entrata Abrera revealed to the members of the press her
formula for attaining a good balance between work and family life.
As a regular co-host of GMA’s weekday morning show Unang Hirit, Suzi needs to wake up as
early as 3:00am from Monday to Friday.
But despite her “unusual” schedule, she still puts her family as her top
priority.
“[Ang family ko] naman talaga ang priority ko. Kaya hindi talaga ako nagtatrabaho ng weekend
kasi sabi ko yun lang yung time na makakasama ko ang mga kids ko mula umaga
hanggang gabi, unless it’s a special situation.
Maaga din naman natatapos ang taping namin and so when I get home I
still catch [my children] before they go to sleep.”
Suzi’s relationship with husband Paolo Abrera is also as
sweet as ever. According to her, their
sweetness is apparent even when they’re fighting.
“I think we fight well kasi even if nagdidiscuss kami, may
iyakan and all, magka-holding hands kami [ni Paolo], may ganun pa rin kaming
sweetness sa isa’t isa.”
Asked by Tita Nene Riego how she managed to put a cap on
getting heavy with child after giving birth to her third child, Suzi quipped:
“Natututunan din po pala ‘yun. Alam po ng mga taga-health center kung paano
po mapa-family planning.
Nagkasunod-sunod nga po pero nice naman po that their ages are close to
each other now that they’re growing up.”
In MARS, Suzi is
going to share the floor with co-host Camille Prats, who also stars in GMA’s
primetime series Luna Blanca. According to Suzi even if she lacks
sleep, she has far less to complain compared to her much busier co-host.
“Actually naisip ko nung una mahirap talaga kasi ang aga
talagang nag-uumpisa ang araw ko until may nakasama akong artista (referring to
Camille) na pagkatapos nito may taping pa, bukas may taping ulit tapos may taping
na naman kami sa Thursday, kung mejo mabigat po yung schedule sa akin, mas
mabigat po yung [kay Camille].”
MARS will
premiere this Monday, June 11. It airs
weeknights, 6:00pm, on GMA News TV Channel 11.
