Deborah Sun scandals

When Deborah was a newcomer in the showbiz industry, speculations of her daughter hit the internet after she denied that Gelanie was her descendant. When her child was asked who her mum was, she would bitterly cry after saying, “Si Babe.”
As a result of denying that Gelanie was her child, she grew up knowing that the lass was her elder sister, director Leroy Salvador her father, and Corazon Porcuna, her mother.
Gelanie, who is now around 45 years old, was sent to prison after being found in possession with illicit dr*gs. Since then, she has been so close to her mum, and they would hug and kiss every time they see each other.
