Sharon plunges into real estate

MANILA, Philippines – Actress-singer Sharon Cuneta is eager to add another notch to her seemingly ever-widening belt – that of property mogul.

The actress, herself, revealed so in a recent interview, saying it's the fulfillment of a longtime dream. Already, she has acquired several properties including one in an area near Tomas Morato, where she plans to build several townhouses.

More, Cuneta divulged having bought a two-hectare oceanfront property in Bohol that she aims to develop into a retirement village. Another recent investment is an eight-hectare property in Palawan.

In the same interview, the 46-year old denied having an interest in politics saying that she doesn’t have what it takes to last in such a “cynical” arena. Cuneta, who is married to Sen. Francis Pangilinan, insists that having one politician in the family is enough.

That said, Cuneta lavishes praises on several colleagues who have made inroads in politics including Vilma Santos, governor of Batangas.

Prior, Cuneta signed a long-term contract with media giant TV5 in hopes of reinvigorating her TV career. The deal, rumored to have amounted to a billion pesos, is said to be the biggest ever in the history of local show business.
