“Pinoy Big Brother: Otso” alum Lie Reposposa shares in a lengthy Facebook letter her “sama ng loob” to her mother while being the breadwinner of the family.
Lie seemingly reached the brim of emotions as she released a statement on Friday, May 24, 2024 in response to a netizen who criticized her for allegedly insufficiently funding their household.
As the netizen puts it, Lie lives in grandeur while her family is currently in debt and without enough money for the monthly bills. Lie was also castigated for eating a proper meal while her family only has tuyo and mantika in substitute for food.
Baring her truth on the matter, Lie replies with, “Gusto ko lang maglabas ng sama ng loob. Hindi ko alam kung tama or mali ba ‘tong gagawin ko pero sobra na as a breadwinner, nakakapagod din.”
She then continues, “Noong una, gusto ko lang naman tumulong hanggang sa naging obligation ko na lahat. [Isa] lang ako pero [pito] yung dapat bubuhayin ko. Ang masakit pa para sa akin, tinulungan ko naman sila pero pag hindi ko naibigay ang gusto nila nagiging masama na ako.”
Lamenting further, Lie exposes that it was her mother who drags her name—consistently subjecting Lie as the center of tittle-tattle despite all the things she had done for the family. In fact, she already bought them a farm lot and even covered the monthly water and electric bills.
She says, “Sariling mama ko pa mag-chi-chismis sakin sa mga kumare niya siyempre nasasaktan din ako.
Addressing the commenter, Lie continues, “Dito sa marites na ‘to, na-triggered talaga ako kaya ‘di ko tatakpan pangalan at mukha mo. At gusto ko din malaman ng mga chismosa na ka marites ni mama na binilhan ko na sila ng farm this year.
“Dahil yan yung laging request nila sa akin. Yung kuryente at tubig ako na ang nagbabayad niyan lahat pero nagsinungaling sila sa akin. Yung pera na binigay ko na budget para sa kuryente at tubig in total of 12k, hindi napunta dun yung pera kaya nag-double ang bills.”
More so, Lie says that she already wiped her family’s debt clean. However, the debt accumulated yet again because of her family’s decision to borrow. At the same time, she defended herself about having to buy groceries and for eating from fast food chains.
She writes, “Yung sa utang binayaran ko na yan lahat dati pero desisyon nila na bumalik ulit. At sa mga groceries namin, binibigyan ko din sila at hindi naman ako malakas kumain kaya napupunta lang din sa kanila. Yung jowa ko, hindi sanay sa Filipino food kaya siya nag-o-order ng mga [McDonald’s] at Jollibee.”
At the latter part of the letter, Lie acknowledges that it was just a misunderstanding, which can still be resolved. But admittedly, Lie says her tampo comes from the passive treatment of her family over her emotional needs.
As she puts it, ”Ayaw ko sana umabot sa ganito pero mas naiintindihan niyo kasi ako kapag dito. Kasi di niyo naman ako pinapakinggan. Gusto niyo problema niyo lang iisipin ko pero may problema din ako pero sinasarili ko lang.
“Sana ma-feel ko ulit na pamilya ko talaga kayo—na tayo ang magtutulungan, hindi nag-sasakitan. God bless.”
At press time, Lie’s mother has not said anything yet about her daughter’s post.
Prior to Lie’s exposé, the 20-year-old actress also took to Facebook her recent battle against pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and anemia—which caused her to lose weight and struggle physically.
Addressing the netizens’ query about her sudden slimming, Lie writes, “Madaming nagtatanong at nagulat bakit sobrang payat ko na. Losyang tingnan, mas maganda kung mataba ako pero nagka-PTB at anemia po ako.
“Mahirap gumalaw at mahina yung katawan ko. Pati paglakad minsan kailangan ng alalay dahil parang matutumba ako at wala din akong ganang kumain.”
In the same statement, Lie reveals that the previous insinuations she made about pregnancy were not true—and she was only doing it for the sake of fun.
As she puts it, “Gusto ko lang din po sabihin na hindi po talaga ako buntis. Sinasabayan ko lang po yung mga taong nagsasabing buntis ako. Sorry po sa mga nag-expect at napaniwala ko.”
Before becoming an official housemate of “Pinoy Big Brother: Otso,” Lie first tried her hands in singing via “Tawag Ng Tanghalan” in “It’s Showtime.” Going into the reality show, Lie was then dubbed as “Teenig ng Tawanan of Davao.”
