Actress Rosanna Roces has issued an ultimatum to the Revillas on the speedy return of her grandchild Gabriel Revilla to her care.

The love child of her daughter, Grace, with Sen. Bong Revilla's son, Jolo, has been with the Revillas for some time now.

"Kung idadahilan nila ang pag-aaral, sige patapusin natin ang pag-aaral. Tapos, ibalik n'yo 'yan. Kung hindi man sa akin, sa nanay niya," the multi-awarded actress fumed in an interview aired via “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Nov. 17.

Rosanna is bent on getting custody of Gabby, even if she has to bring the case to court. 

"Kakasuhan ko na talaga. Pag 'yan [sa] Pasko hindi ko nakita, pasensiyahan tayo. Susugurin ko talaga kayo [referring to the Revillas] sa bahay n'yo."

On a lighter note, Osang recently won as Best Actress at the Cinema One Originals Awards held Nov. 15 at the Dolphy Theater inside the ABS-CBN compound.

Osang won for her role as a religious fanatic who kills her tenants and cooks their mutilated bodies in the indie film "Wanted: Border."

"Sabi ko sa inyo, iba 'yong indie. Mabigat ang labanan sa indie. I hope maging proud sa akin 'yong mga taga-Iloilo. Natutuwa ako dahil Cinema One ang nagbigay sa akin ng solo (award). 'Yong Urian ko, may kahati pa," she joked upon accepting her trophy.

Rosanna shared the 2001 Gawad Urian Best Actress citation with Assunta de Rossi. Osang won for “La Vida Rosa” while Assunta for “Hubog.”

Osang revealed that she plans to start a new life, starting with a new home.

"May plans to move sa isang lugar na...alam mo 'yon," she said.

"Malalaki na sila (Onyok and Grace). Iniiwan na nila ako. Kapag may pamilya na [mga anak mo], parang bale wala ka na."

Rosanna also hinted on escaping "memories" that lingers in a house long after its occupants have left.

"Masyado nang maraming memories sa bahay. Ayoko nang balikan. Parang gusto ko bagong buhay, bagong bahay, bagong pelikula. At least sa paglipat ng taon, makikita n'yo (ang bagong bahay)."

Rosanna said she would ‘finance’ her dream by selling two of her old houses to a fan. "Sabi niya, 'Nakita ko ito sa ‘Sharon,’ kay Korina.’ Hinanap kaagad niya ang glass house [ko]."

She describes her new property as “parang square-ish...basta maraming puno.”

“It's a 2,000 square meter property. Maliit ang bahay pero malaki naman ang bakuran. Puwede kang magtanim at mag-alaga (ng hayop)."
