Raquel Pempengco Wages War Against MMK And Daughter, Charice Pempengco aka Jake Zyrus

Raquel Pempengco wages war against the people behind Maalaala Mo Kaya and her own daughter Charice Pempengco, also known as Jake Zyrus. All thanks to Jake Zyrus’ version of his life story portrayed on MMK’s Saturday episode. Because of this, Jake Zyrus and ABS-CBN’s MMK might just face libel charges.

On MMK’s episode on Aug 26, Saturday, the spotlight was on Charice Pempengco’s story. This, of course, highlighted some events in Charice’s life since she was starting in her career. Her mom, Raquel, played an important role in the story being her manager and who primarily directed Charice’s career at that time. This, however, didn’t come to the liking of Charice’s mom, portrayed as a pushy, demanding and controlling, who at one point, spent Charice’s hard earned money in a not-so-good way. The story also highlighted Charice’s transition from becoming a “she” to a “he.”

Raquel Pempengco calls Jake Zyrus, ‘sinungaling’

PEP did an exclusive on the story. According to the report, Raquel plans on filing a libel case against her own daughter and those who are behind ABS-CBN’s weekend drama series, Maalaala Mo Kaya.

Raquel wasn’t at all happy that neither Jake nor the MMK staff consulted her before airing the MMK Jake Zyrus episode. Dina Bonevie played the role of Raquel. In the episode, she was seen pushing Charice to do things she didn’t want to do like wear gowns. She saw Charice’s tendencies of becoming a tomboy and that would cause her to hurt her verbally. She was also portrayed as someone who would spend Charice’s hard earned money when Charice was at the height of her career.

In the report, Raquel tells PEP on Monday that she already spoke to a lawyer. She was advised that she could actually file a case against Jake and MMK just because she wasn’t consulted before airing the episode. Raquel pointed out that she won’t spare her own daughter and even mentioned Charice’s full name, Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco, to stress her point. She said it was Charice who relayed the story so she is also at fault.

Raquel says there are many who would support her when she says her portrayal in MMK is far from the truth. However, her own mother, Thess Pineda, says everything seen on the episode about Raquel was the truth.
