Joel Cruz’ new inspirations in life
Fragrance entrepreneur Joel Cruz welcomed his third set of twin to his growing family on May 24. The new Cruz babies were had developed using In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). And according to the article published by Abante Tonite, Joel spent more than P12 million for these entire proceedings.
The businessman shared some details of the story behind his new babies, named Charles and Charlotte. He revealed, “Sa akin, kung isasama ko pati pamasahe ko, umabot kami ng P12M.
“Pati na dun ‘yung airfare, ‘yung hotel ko. Ang interpreter namin du’n, per hour. Lawyer, per hour.
“Iyung nag-ayos ng documents du’n, Russian passport nila, ‘yung birth certificate, Ministry of Foreign Affiars, sa justice.”
Joel also clarified that Charles and Charlotte’s surrogate mother, was also the same woman who gave birth to his previous kids.
However, there has been some instances where Joel receives unverified informations that the church condemns the IVF procedure. But he said, “Ako kasi, I’m 100% Roman Catholic. Sobrang relihiyoso ako. Ako naman, gusto ko naman talaga magkaroon ng anak na binigay naman.”
Joel believes that his kids were given to him by the Almighty and stressed that he has lots of friends, who are priests, that have offered him prayers.
He pointed out, “I believe na binigay sa akin ito ng Diyos ang anak na ‘to. In fact, ang daming pari na kaibigan ko na nagbibigay sa akin ng prayers.”
Joel also emohasized that he feels confused whether IFV is against the rules of the church or not. He explained, “Siguro, kung sa Bibliya, du’n ako nagkaroon ng kasalanan dahil hindi ko sinunod yung Bibliya.
“Pero ‘yung mga alagad ng simbahan like ‘yung mga pari, they offered a prayer for me. Kaya medyo naguguluhan din ako dahil kung iyun pala ang alam ng mga pari, sana hindi nila ako pinagdasal, sinabihan nila ako na mali ‘yan.”
Additionally, Joel said he is not feeling guilty for what he has done and even insisted that he does not harm any human beings. Joel also added that he just wanted to raise children by himself.
He further explained, “Kasi ako bilang tao, nai-enjoy ko ‘yung buhay ko dito sa mundo. Kaya nga nilikha tayo ng Diyos na may purpose tayo dito sa mundo, tumutulong tayo sa kapwa natin, hindi tayo gumagawa ng masama.
“Kung ganun ‘yung purpose sa anak ko rin, palalakihin ko rin sila ng ganun… Mabuti ‘yun sa mata ng Diyos para sa akin. Kaya sa paraan na pagkagawa ng bata ay mali, pero habang nabubuhay sila dito sa mundong nilikha ng Panginoon, unang-una, kailangan they have to live a Catholic lifestyle na maka-Diyos sila, huwag gumawa ng kasalanan sa kapwa.
“Para sa akin, kahit siguro may mali akong ginawa against sa Bibliya, pero hindi ako nakukunsensya dahil itong ginagawa ko, pinagdasal ko at alam kong sinagot ako ng Panginoon dito, at Siya ang nagbigay sa akin ng mga anak ko, kaya hindi ako nagi-guilty. At the same time, they will live dito sa mundo na tutulong din sa kapwa Filipinos.”
