Hindi kandidato si Sharon Cuneta para sa anumang posisyon sa pamahalaan, pero may sariling moment ang Megastar nang umakyat siya kagabi, May 7, 2022, sa entablado ng miting de avance ng TRoPa sa Makati City.
Ang bungad ng asawa ni vice presidential aspirant Kiko Pangilinan, “Can I just say a few personal words?”
Saka niya binanggit ang mga pangalan nina Bongbong Marcos at Sara Duterte, ang mahigpit na katunggali nina Vice President Leni Robredo at Kiko para sa posisyon ng pangulo at pangalawang pangulo ng bansa sa halalang magaganap bukas, May 9, 2022.
"This is for Bong. Bong, you don’t have to agree or like what you’ve done or what you have not done for me to always remember your kindness towards me when I was growing up, as well as your whole family.
"I wish you, Liza, and your beautiful boys, God’s blessings, and that we all come together when this is all over and just be Filipinos.
"I also want to say to Sara, Inday, nagkakaintindihan tayo, kahit wala na si Tatay [Pablo Cuneta] sa aking buhay, never kang nawala. Alam ko kasi hindi ka lang Sharonian, pero mahal kita kaya lang, ang bise-presidente ko talaga si Kiko. Nagkakaintindihan naman tayo."
Pumatak ang luha ni Sharon nang magbigay ito ng mensahe kay Tito Sotto at sa misis nitong si Helen Gamboa—na kapatid ng ina ni Sharon na si Elaine Gamboa, at itinuturing ng Megastar na pangalawa niyang ina.
Malaki rin ang kontribusyon ni Sotto sa showbiz career ni Sharon.
