Actress Marissa Sanchez admitted that she also experienced the same situation faced by two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
In an interview with Rommel Chika, she narrated how she also had disagreements with her mother about her financials.
She eventually realized that she was not disciplined when she had a chance to manage her own money, which was why her mother kept her earnings.
However, it was too late for her to realize her mistakes.
“Ako si Carlos before… ‘Ba’t ganyan ka, Mommy?’ So, parang nagsisisi ako, tapos parang gusto kong sabihin, ‘Carlos, you will regret it’ Kasi ako I was really bad to my mom… I’m not proud of it,” said Marissa.
“When my mom was alive, I was blaming her all my life ba’t ako ganito. Mali pala… Choices ko ‘yun hindi ko pwede i-blame sa mom ko. Kung pwede ko lang balikan, sana minahal ko ‘yung mom ko, [sana] I honored her still,” she added.
Her experience was the reason why she didn’t like children who didn’t respect their parents.
“So kung pwede lang yakapin ko sila [at sabihin] ‘Nagkakamali kayo, mahalin niyo ang magulang niyo kasi isang beses lang sila mabubuhay. ‘Pag nawala sila magsisisi ka kasi hindi mo sila inintindi,” she stated.
Marissa also suggested to the viewers that they could still honor their parents despite their differences.
“Pero wala tayong magagawa e, hindi natin pinili ang mga nanay natin so dapat tanggapin lang natin sila, mahalin, honor. Pwede mo sila awayin nang hindi ka nagkakasala. Pwede mo sila kontrahin na you still honor them,” she said.
“Sana gano’n ang ginawa ko… That’s why I miss my mom. Kaya pala siya gano’n, because lumaki pala siyang walang nanay, hindi niya naranasan kung paano maging anak.” she also said.
It can be recalled that until today, Carlos has yet to see his family after he accused them of pocketing his cash incentives.
However, Carlos’ parents insisted that they only used the money to buy insurance and other properties to ensure the future of the gymnast.
