Comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto was not able to hold back the tears when she shared her fondest memories with her Mommy Carol, who died last May 26.
On Tonight with Boy Abunda program on Tuesday night, Quinto remembered her late mother by sharing some of the important life lessons she has taught her.
“Una sa lahat, ‘wag kang mag-judge, lumabas ka… Sabi niya, hindi naman lahat ng tao mabait pero sabi niya, okay lang basta magtiwala ka sa mga tao.
“Pangalawa, kasi nung nabuntis ako, iyak ako nang iyak… Sabi niya, ‘yan ang ‘wag mong gagawin – ang maging hindi matapang para sa anak mo. So magmula non, hindi na ako umiyak,” she says.
Quinto also commended her mother for being able to raise them despite the odds.
“Mami-miss mo siyempre, tuwing mahina ka lalo na at ‘yung meron kang pinagdaraanan, wala ka namang lalapitan kundi ‘yung nanay mo,” Quinto emotionally recalls.
“Kahit wala siyang ibigay, kahit wala siyang sabihin. The fact lang na kasama mo lang ‘yung nanay mo. Makinig-kinig ka lang sa sasabihin niya, may kwenta man o wala, sumasaya ka pa rin tapos laban ka ulit,” she adds.
