After lying low in showbiz to focus on her family, Ina Raymundo is back with two projects – the upcoming teleserye “Nasaan Ka Nung Kailangan Kita” and the movie “Halik sa Hangin.”

The mother of five still looks slim and stunning. She could easily grace the cover of a men’s magazine.
But Ina has kissed her daring poses goodbye.

Good role model

“Kapag may anak ka na, tapos apat pa yung babae, you really, really have to think about it. It’s hard. You have to be a good role model talaga,” Ina told reporters at the press conference of “Halik sa Hangin.”

Although her husband doesn’t keep her from going sexy again, Ina herself is against it because of her children.

“I want to be a role model for them. Actually yung asawa ko payag siya. Sa akin, parang ang off na at awkward para mag-pose ako.”

Ina added, “Hanggang pangarap na lang ang mga iyon, hanggang imagination na lang. Pero para isakatuparan, parang mahirap.”

But she’s willing to go sexy again if a movie role calls for it.

Past is past

“Limang bata na ang lumabas sa tiyan ko, tapos magpo-pose pa ako? Sa pelikula, baka pwede pa. Sa movie, kung kailangan. Pero hindi naman na kasi uso yung bold di ba?”

The 36-year-old actress has done many sexy movies like “Bikini Watch,” “Madame X,” and “Burlesk Queen Ngayon.”

“Yung past ko, past na iyon eh. So ang importante talaga yung present. Gusto kong maging good role model sa apat na anak kong babae.”

Ina’s eldest daughter knows all about her showbiz career.

Concerned mom

And while there are things she regretted doing, the present and keeping her family intact are more important to Ina.

“Alam niya. In-explain ko naman na trabaho iyon, na past na iyon. Na talagang, sa totoo lang, sabi ko, ‘Kung ako ang masusunod, sana hindi ko iyon ginawa’. Pero nangyari na iyon. Ang importante ay present, na I’m a mom and I’m doing my best na maging intact ang family namin. Feeling ko naiintindihan niya naman iyon.”
