The magnanimous ‘A’s in Deborah Sun’s life
Almost certainly the finest problem for the 63-calendar year-outdated actress Deborah Sunshine is how she will introduce herself to the now era. But as significantly as we — ourselves shut to her age — are concerned, she will need not chat a great deal.
I may well not know Deborah far too very well, but at the very least I’m knowledgeable she arrives from the famous Salvador clan in showbiz. Her kin consist of semi-retired actor Philip Salvador, Maja Salvador, among the some others.
As far as her earlier films are worried, the one particular which lingers in my memory is her function as nanny to Jennifer Cortez in Joey Gosiengfiao’s iconic “Temptation Island” back in the late 80s. Other than that, actually, almost nothing else.
On the personal side, all I know is that Deborah was once close friends with Lorna Tolentino. But allow me quit there. What ever triggered their falling out (which I’m also privy to) is immaterial.
What fears me is that Deborah is back again on her toes, taking on assignments one just after another. And which is fantastic to know.
Through the several years, Procedure Tulong produced its presence felt in many approaches. CONTRIBUTED Picture

Actress Deborah Sunlight IMDB Picture
The previous time Deborah arrived face-to-face with some customers of the amusement media was when she was creating promo rounds for a motion picture in which she played “Marites.”
No, her identify in the motion picture is not literally that but a rumor-mongering woman, which in simple fact she is far from being 1 in serious life.
On the contrary, Deborah has grow to be a favored staple among tongue-lashing purveyors of “showbiz intrigues” bordering on her earlier she wants forgotten.
Not a single to deny her predilection for medicine, Deborah admitted it was the bring about of her daily life absent depressing and wretched. Therefore, this piece of assistance most particularly to the now era of stars: keep absent from medicine.
Deborah undoubtedly failed to see it coming. It was her drug dependancy that pulled her to the abyss of hopelessness.
But thank heavens, there are continue to very good men and women all around her. Leading on her listing is Ara Mina who phone calls her “tita.”
Sans blood relations, Ara treats Deborah like her individual. In truth, the condo device which Deborah and her children have been remaining for seven decades free of charge et amore is truly Ara’s.
Not only is this Mrs. Almarinez’s act of charity. With no fall short, Ara has three containers containing assorted grocery things religiously sent to Deborah 3 periods a 12 months.
On top rated of all this, the veteran actress gets some very little income for her expenditures.
Deborah fessed up to currently being grateful but at the identical time stated she felt ashamed.
She advised the press she was prepared to give up the apartment device really should Ara make a decision to sell it, “On the other hand, Ara is the a person feeling ashamed. She even desires to shift us to a larger sized apartment device. Oh, Ara is genuinely sort!”
Not only is Deborah indebted to Ara, you can find also Boy Abunda.
According to Deborah, it truly is Boy who supports a single of her children’s nursing college requires. This is aside from the Tv set host’s other economic help like settling Deborah’s utility bills. Boy also has food items shipped at her doorstep.
It might take place to everyone that Deborah appears lucky with people today with the letter “A” in their names: Ara, Abunda.
And to finish the record of her earthbound angels, Deborah can make particular point out of Quezon Metropolis Councilor Aiko Melendez.
Aiko and Deborah’s son Jam are paternal brothers. Their father, former Regal heartthrob and matinee idol Jimmy Melendez, died in 1997.
I keep in mind Startalk’s attribute on Jam. Identified with schizophrenia, it was Aiko who supported and continue to supports her fifty percent-brother in terms of medicines and other professional medical requirements.
Not a great deal has improved. To this day, Aiko performs the big, benevolent sister that she is. The actress-general public servant also under no circumstances misses in helping Deborah throughout crucial instances.
Just like reading through a ebook about her struggles in everyday living, one particular may possibly ask: what has prompted all this upon Deborah? Is it simply because admittedly, she never ever received to complete substantial faculty? Is the sole perpetrator her drug dependency? Could it be her deficiency of grit in life?
The record of probable reasons may possibly be infinite. But to go judgment is of no assist to Deborah.
The minimum we can do is to pray that showbiz assignments retain coming her way, to make her comprehend that help in no matter what variety is hardly ever a detail of permanently.
