Actress-host Karla Estrada addressed speculations about the selling of her family home, confirming that it is not for sale “anymore”.
Rumors about Karla and her son, Daniel Padilla, spread last January after talent manager Ogie Diaz’s Showbiz Update discussed allegations about the actor’s house being put up for sale on a real estate page on Instagram.
According to the now-deleted IG post, the “Elegant Owner’s Built House” located near Commonwealth, QC comes at a price of P50 million. The house is situated on a 500-square meter lot, has six bedrooms, and a spacious garage that can fit five to six vehicles.
The Face 2 Face host, however, set the record straight in her latest Facebook post, clarifying that the property in question had been for sale “since three years ago”, and calling out those spreading misinformation about it.
“Pasensya na at tatapusin na natin ang tungkol sa bahay ko at tigilan na ang pag-post ng bahay ko kasama kami ng mga anak ko,” the celebrity mom appealed on social media.
Karla questioned the connection of her family to the alleged selling of their house as she clarified that the property states her name under its owner.
“Tanong ko lang, ano po ang koneksyon ng picture naming mag iina sa bahay na for sale eh may pangalan ko naman na buo pa nakasulat na may ari ng bahay,” said Estrada.
“Ano ba ang dapat talaga ‘pag nagbenta ang isang tao ng ari-arian n’ya? Ipaliwanag ang dahilan ng pagbebenta?,” the actress questioned, “Kasama ba sa requirements ng mga broker ang sabihin ang dahilan ‘pag nagpapabenta ng properties namin? Kailangan naghihirap na sa buhay agad kaya nagbebenta ng ari arian?
“Medyo malayo ata sa katotohana ‘yun [k]asi masisipag kami sa buhay,” she defended herself and her family.
Karla also called out a local magazine that posted the information that further ignited rumors to spread about the property.
“Dami n’yong oras mag bigay ng komento sa buhay ng iba na walang kayong alam ha. Pero check n’yo muna baka may mga kapamilya kayo d’yan na kumakalam ang sikmura, unahin n’yo ‘yun,” she strongly advised.
Ending her lengthy post, Karla made clarifications about the house to stop any more rumors from spreading.
“Para na rin sa latest update about my house , at ng matapos na ang luma nang balitang ito .. my house is not for sale anymore,” she clarified.
“Kaya sa mga panay post d’yan hangang ngayon, na mistulang pa broker na kayo, ayan na ang latest. Para updated naman ang posts ninyo,” she remarked.
“Kung ayaw nyo sa amin, ‘wag n’yo kami ‘pag aksayahan ng panahon,” Estrada concluded her post.
Following the news, Karla discussed the selling of their family home in a past YouTube interview with newscaster Bernadette Sembrano last May.
In the interview, Karla confirmed that they have indeed been attempting to sell the house for over two years.
“Yes, this is for sale. Two years nang for sale ito,” she told Bernadette, as quoted by PEP in its report.
Karla mentioned they are not selling the home aggressively, as they are considering offers only if someone shows “genuine interest” in the property, PEP reported.
“Pero hindi lang namin push na push. Pagka may gusto lang. ‘Tsaka namimili ako, e. Kung sinong puwedeng,” the celebrity host asserted.
“And dahil, siyempre, ako talagang nagagandahan ako sa bahay ko na ito. Pero masyado nang malaki para sa akin mag-isa,” Karla described the mansion, sharing her plans to relocate to the south of Metro Manila, as her children—Daniel, Carlito, Magui, and Carmella—now have their own places.
Additionally, Karla wants to have the convenience of the airport being just a short drive away as well as to where her close friends reside.
“Gusto ko mag-south ngayon. Kasi nandoon lahat din mga friends ko. And then para sa akin, pag nag-start ako ng kung ano man ang umpisa natin sa Region 8, malapit na yung south. Malapit na sa airport,” she explained further on the reason behind selling their home.
