Kira Balinger became emotional as she expressed her desire to reunite her family while inside the Pinoy Big Brother house.In a heartfelt conversation with Kuya on an episode of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, Kira shared that if there's one love story that deeply affected her, it's the story of her parents."Even though they're not together-together, they still want to be married to me and that's a really, really big thing for me," she said.
Kira added, "That's why I want to do well with what I do so that I can give back to them kahit papaano. I cannot fix their relationship but I want them to know that staying married necessarily together but still married is a big thing for me and they're really sacrificing their own happiness just for me."Kira opened up about her broken family and shared that she felt like her childhood was taken away from her after her father left.
She was 11 years old when it happened, and she had to "grow up a lot faster.""There was a time that I was really upset with him (Dad) because of what he did to Mom and that was going behind her back with somebody else and that was incredibly painful for me as a daughter," Kira added.She added, "I just feel like I couldn't experience my childhood the same when that happened.
Of course, I enjoyed being with my Mom but there's always that voice at the back of your head na 'Ay, wala kang tatay,' 'Oh you have nobody to open up your heartbreak to.' I had to grow up a lot faster, Kuya. Sobrang aga na po akong namulat sa mundo and it really changed my perspective on love.
"Kira then recalled how painful it was for her to see her mother hurting as well."When something like that happens, how are you supposed to have fun, what are you supposed to act like when you're supposed to be strong also for your mom na nakita mong sobrang durog talaga?" Kira said."There were days talaga na hindi talaga siya makabangon.
She's just in bed, crying and crying but she still tries her best kasi may anak siya," she continued.Kira was brought to tears as she shared her hopes for her future family, "Just to see them living together once again in one house, to see them have conversations, happy conversations, to just eat together with them. That would really, really be a big thing for me, Kuya.
""To have my Dad back home na hindi siya aalis every month, that he would really stay here for us, 'yun po talaga 'yung pangarap kong makita," she said.According to her, she wants to win the competition so she can build a house for her family."That's why I want to do well here so I could get a house so that I could bring them together na.
To just have both of my parents in one place so I can take care of them, so I could shower them with whatever blessing that I will have," sabi ni Kira."I just want them in one place na. I really want them together again," Kira said hopefully.
Kuya's advice to Kira was that separation doesn't necessarily mean failure, but rather a way to protect a person's heart."Ang tunay na pamilya ay hindi perpekto at ikaw, Kira, ang patunay na minsan may pag-ibig na totoo kahit 'di 'to nagtapos sa iisang kuwento," he said. "Kira, ikaw ang nabubuhay na patunay na totoong nagkaroon ng pagmamahalan ang mga magulang mo.
You are the testament of their love for each other at huwag mong kakalimutan 'yan," she said.Watch more of Kira Balinger on Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition on GMA Network at 10 p.m.
