Tremenbe: Let’s see how the relationship between Elise Matsunaga and her daughter turned out
The author also emphasized that during his conversation with Mitsuo, Marcos’ father remained firm and never showed any signs of forgiveness toward his former daughter-in-law.
“He emphasized that he would not forgive Elise. He was very angry because at that time she was the widow of his son and the documents still had Elise’s surname,” he explained. According to Campbell, Mitsuo even said at the time, “What pisses me off the most is that there is a call girl using my last name.”
This feeling was the deciding factor in turning this story into a series. Mr Campbell said the family’s outrage was sparked by scenes from the hearing depicted in the piece that showed the tension and lack of reconciliation between Elise and Marcos’ relatives. Marcos’ parents are even fighting a legal battle against Marcos and Elise as they have custody of their daughter.
