In a traditional and conservative country like the Philippines, family always comes first. Parents are very protective of their children and the kids look up to their parents. But, no family is perfect. All of us have our fair share of family disputes. Usually these feuds dissipate for as long as there is love and understanding among each other.
However, young Melody Seña tried telling this to her parents. But her pleas and wise words fell on deaf ears.
You see, Melody's parents, Sonny and Cheryl, looked like a perfect couple. But everything changed due to money problems involving the two. Soon, Cheryl felt that love has left their household. Sonny and Cheryl started having their own affairs; and the family spiraled down.
To the dismay of her children, Cheryl went as far as going to Raffy Tulfo and talk about her husband for public consumption. Melody did not approve of this because according to the young lady, that only puts pressure in their family. People will start forming their own opinions about the matter when they don't really know the full story. But Cheryl was adamant. She wanted to annul her husband for negligence. Cheryl claims that they no longer have money and wanted out in the relationship and out in the family.
Raffy Tulfo tried his best to at least have Sonny and Cheryl talk it out but Cheryl was firm. Raffy even volunteered to pay for a second honeymoon for the couple but they disagreed.
Instead, Raffy invited Melody and Cheryl to at least iron out their disagreements. This led to a series of clapbacks for the mother and daughter duo. Melody is saying that her mother just wanted to leave now that her father could not provide them with a lavish life. She even asked her mother what was her input in the family money now that her father is incapable of sustaining their lifestyle. Cheryl was in fact a housewife who stopped working to take care of her kids -- a fact that Melody is challenging since when they were more financially stable, the kids had one nanny each.
At this point, Melody even said that it's fine if their parents go their separate ways for as long as they do not forget their responsibilities for bringing Melody and her siblings to the world.
What do you think happened to the Seña family? Do you think they were able to overcome this challenge? To find out, watch the full episode below.
