When times were so much simpler ...
She had a wonderful career in government and a 2nd home 9,000 miles away. No problems as to what was the truth and plans to share our lives together after her graduation from law school and the passing of the Bar exam. She married a husband that was an absolute cheerleader for success.
I started to use her USA cell phone when mine died one day. After a few days, a call in the night from a long-term suitor in Amsterdam! He was totally flabbergasted that Zorah was my wife. It was then that an Internet version of "The War of the Roses" movie began.
As you read this web site ... keep in mind a few details:
1) Maria Zorahaida Subla de la Cruz married a man in the United States, July 28, 2000.
2) She never married the man that called from Amsterdam but it was his plan from 1998 to 2005.
3) Ms. de la Cruz married a Filipino gentleman December 15, 1988. They have 3 daughters.
4) Zorah represented having never married. That was Phase 1 of her sophisticated scam.
5) Married to two men in two countries ... perhaps suitors or BIR contacts in more? Yes!
I once asked "Is your BIR position one to cover other RP activities because you travel so extensively?" She replied "Husband, I am a very simple person and the family has business interests abroad." Her passport endorsements and visas read like she held a Foreign Service position.
The journey of it all after receiving the call from a past love is absolutely fascinating ... it spins so differently now.
