Kapuso actor-dancer Mark Herras asked the Lord as his life’s difficulties came one after the other.

When his father and mother died, as did his uncle, who was very close to him, the actor acknowledged to suffering from extreme depression.

“Why God? Ano po ba ang plano Ninyo sa akin?”

He believed his life was pointless at the moment, therefore he really questioned God’s design.

Namatay ‘yung lola ko, then my dad, then my mom, then my tito. Sunod-sunod sila eh. 2011 si lola, 2014 is my dad. After two years my mom, then after six months my tito,” ang kuwento ni Mark sa panayam ng “Mars Pa More.”

He continued, “Hindi ako nakapag-mourn nang maayos. Kasi magmo-mourn pa lang ako sa daddy ko, namatay na ‘yung mom ko.

“Tapos after ng six months namatay ‘yung tito ko. Parang, paano ako magmo-mourn?” lahad ng aktor.
Dito na inamin ni Mark na inatake siya ng matinding depression, “Sobra. Pero matatag pa rin ‘yung paninindigan ko sa buhay. Kasi siguro kung iba ‘yan, baka, alam mo na,”

Mark believes that his life has lost direction, and he no longer considers his future. He has also gotten irresponsible with his money.

“Talagang nandoon pa rin ako sa parang… ‘Bahala na, gagawin ko ito.’ Walang direksiyon. Na parang, sige magtatrabaho ako, pero ‘yung pera ko, after it, one-day millionaire lang ako na, ‘Wala naman akong pakialam eh, kasi ano pa ang purpose ko sa buhay, ‘di ba?’”

“Kasi before I joined Starstruck, sinasabi ko sa kanila, ‘Bakit ka nag-showbiz?’ ‘Just to help my family.’ Siyempre nandiyan pa rin ‘yung mga pinsan ko, ‘yung mga tita ko.

“Pero ‘yung mismong pamilya ko na core, wala na. So parang nawalan ako ng direksiyon sa buhay, ano pa ang dapat kong gawin?” He said.

He also questioned God then, “Na-witness ko ‘yung apat na pangyayari sa buhay ko na ‘yun na, nasabi ko nga, ‘Ano pa po ba ang plano Niyo sa akin?’ Lahat tayo kinukuwestiyon natin ‘yun, eh.

“Before, ang lagi kong tinatanong, ‘Why God? Ano po ba ang plano Ninyo sa akin?’

“Noong time na ‘yun kinokontra ko Siya, sabi ko ‘Parang mali eh, hindi Niyo dapat kinuha sa akin, eh,’”

That is why Mark was overjoyed when he met his wife Nicole Donesa and their kid Corky.

“Ang tagal ng turning point. Actually sa totoo lang noong dumating sa akin ‘yung bago kong naging pamilya, si Nicole and si Corky.

“Ngayon, ito pala ‘yung purpose ko. Para matuto ako sa buhay, to be a responsible dad sa anak ko, to be a better father, a better partner sa wife ko,” He added.

“Talagang ngayon, every time may ibinibigay sa akin na project o trabaho ang GMA, talagang… ‘Bakit ka nagtatrabaho?’ ‘Para sa pamilya ko, para sa asawa ko, para sa anak ko.’

“Kung na-experience ko man na mahirapan sa buhay kahit nag-a-artista ako, ayokong ma-experience nila,” he continued.
