During the Star Magic Spotlight Presscon on October 29, the veteran actress responded firmly when asked if she ever considered joining politics, especially after speaking about the recent flood control controversy in government.
“Iniisip ko, public servant kontrabida? Pwede naman di ba? Gladys Reyes–– Kontrabida ng mga magnanakaw,” she joked, earning laughs before turning serious.
She explained that politics simply isn’t for her. “Hindi ko talaga yan pinangarap. Unang-una ang gulo gulo diyan kayo nalang… Sa akin, parang hindi yan masyadong ineentertain yung thought na yan so no, hindi po,” she said.

Gladys shared how disheartening it is to witness corruption continue for so long, particularly as a taxpayer and a parent.
She said she often wonders what lies ahead for her children if issues like these persist.
“Katulad ng may nakikita kang hindi na naman tapos na kalye… Masyadong ng matagal yung ganitong nangyayari,” she pointed out, calling the situation a “domino effect” that affects everyone.
“Nakakalungkot bilang magulang… Hanggang sa pumanaw na kami at yung mga anak nalang namin? Ganun pa rin ba?” she asked, expressing deep concern about the future.
Despite the frustration, Gladys remains hopeful. She emphasized the importance of prayer, believing it can help guide leaders and inspire solutions.
“Para pagpaliwanagin yung isip ng mga taong makakatulong sa atin… Unti-unti sana maibsan at sana magawan na ng solusyon,” she said.
Gladys Reyes is an actress who first rose to fame after starring as 'Clara' in the hit drama television series, "Mara Clara" alongside Judy Ann Santos. She is married to Christopher Roxas and they have four children together.
In a post on social media about seven months ago, Gladys shared a video showing her and the late Jaclyn Jose in a scene in the TV series “Toda One I Love.” According to the actress, she loves working with Jaclyn, whom she called Ate Jane, because of her versatility. She said that her Ate Jane is “indeed funny on and off” the camera, adding that with one look at each other, they would immediately know what to do. Gladys also said that Jaclyn’s delivery of “punchlines, timing, and facial expressions” were all on point, and is among the many things she would miss about the late actress.
Around the same time, she also paid her respects to Jaclyn Jose at the latter’s wake. On Instagram, Gladys shared heartwarming photos and clips taken at the wake. Andi Eigenmann, Philmar Alipayo, Coco Martin, Vice Ganda, Alden Richards, and ABS-CBN’s COO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes, are among those spotted in Gladys’ post. Gladys also penned a heartfelt caption about the people who have been showing their love for the late veteran actress.
