Pop Diva Kuh Ledesma admits to Korina: 'The biggest challenge is being Mom to Isabella'

POP Diva Kuh Ledesma is iconic and was one of the first ever to be called a “diva” in the Philippine entertainment industry. A known true artist, Kuh reveals all her talents in this weekend’s Korina Interviews in her one-on-one with award-winning broadcaster Korina Sanchez-Roxas. “Sobra akong bilib sa talents ni Kuh. I never thought she was this passionate about art in every form and this talented as an architect, interior decorator, businesswoman, art collector and artist,” says Korina as she was wowed in her visit to the singer’s Hacienda Isabella in Indang, Cavite.
But Kuh admitted to Korina that what has been most important and meaningful a role for her in her life is as a mother to daughter Isabella. Isabella was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the management of this mental condition has been quite the journey for both of them. “The failure of my marriage is also because of me. I was always working. And my separation from Isabella’s father did not help her condition at all. So now we have been progressing, working together, painting together, singing together,” Kuh narrates. Kuh toured Korina through her 4 acre development, showed her beautiful paintings, and even played nurse to Korina measuring her blood pressure. Kuh is a certified nurse, her first profession. “Si Kuh ang magpapatunay. Meron akong puso noh,” Korina laughs.
An episode for Mothers and children and for everyone who loves a good conversation between friends.
