MANILA \u2013 Singer-actress Vina Morales recently filed a motion to suspend the visitation rights of her former partner Cedric Lee to their seven-year-old daughter, Ceana, after the latter \u2018forcibly detained\u2019 the child in his home for nine days.<\/p>\n

Morales asserted that she had no personal interests but was only thinking about the welfare of her daughter when she filed the motion, shunning libel case threats of Lee\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, this is not about me and Cedric, e<\/em>. This is about my child\u2019s welfare. \u2018Wag natin ilihis<\/em> (Let\u2019s not veer away),\u201d she said during a press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cLahat naman tayo<\/em>\u2026 kapag nine days hindi mo makausap ang nanay mo<\/em>, na sanay na sanay ka na nandiyan palagi ang nanay mo<\/em>\u2026 Parang naman<\/em>, kung tayo nga konting problema lang medyo na-stress na tayo eh<\/em>. So I\u2019m sure she\u2019s (Ceana) stressed,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

(All of us\u2026 should we not see our mother for nine days, when you\u2019re so used to having her around\u2026 It\u2019s like, we get stressed over petty problems, so I\u2019m sure she\u2019s stressed.)<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old singer-actress also noted that Lee had no documents to support his claim on having ten-day visiting rights to his daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cCeana was handed to my family at the court last May 23,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Lee) was never issued a copy granting him visitation agreement for ten days\u2026 Walang binigay na gano\u2019n sa kanila<\/em> (Nothing of the sort was given to them) that is why they are cited in contempt of court violating the visitation agreement,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Morales stressed that she never spoke \u2018libelous\u2019 statements nor intended to \u2018damage\u2019 the reputation of her former boyfriend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWala naman akong sinisiraan dito. Wala akong balak na siraan siya<\/em>. Ang sa akin lang<\/em>, ang nararamdaman ko at tungkol sa anak ko<\/em>,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
