International Pinay singing sensation Charice Pempengco finally reunited with her mom Raquel. The two went emotional as they share a stage on ASAP on Sunday, September 21, 2014 as they perform a duet of hit song “Maghintay Ka Lamang.”
Emotional Charice also expressed her gratitude to her mom for welcoming her back despite having been in rift more a couple of months. The issue between the mother and her daughter broke out last year after the 19-year-old came out on closet.
“Two weeks pa ako umuwi pero hindi pa ako nagiging emotional sa kanya. Hindi pa ako nakapagpasalamat sa lahat kasi nahihiya ako. I just want to say that everything, kung sino man ako ngayon, lahat ‘yun, ‘yung lakas ng loob nakuha ko sa ‘yo. Kahit na ano man ang nangyari dati, ito pa rin tayo nasa harap ng buong mundo, sinasabi natin sa kanila na kahit anong masama ang inisip nila sa atin, akala nila hindi tayo magkakaayos, pamilya pa rin tayo,” she said.
“[Sana] maging role model tayo sa kanila na kahit anong problema sa mundo, basta pamilya kayo, walang problemang hindi maso-solve. I love you. I love you, Karl. I love you, Alyssa (Quijano, her girlfriend). I love you, daddy. I am very happy and this is the best achievement that I could ever have in my life,” Charice said hoping that their rift must serve as an inspiration how she and her mother value their relationship.
Raquel Pempengco on other hand noted that her relationship with her daughter did not lessen despite of what had happened. She shared that she is just waiting for a right timing to finally reconcile with her daughter.
“Ang masasabi ko lang po, gaano man katagal lumipas ang panahon, basta nandito lang ako naghihintay sa mga anak ko na bumalik pa rin sa akin. Para ipaalam ko lang sa lahat, kahit anong nangyari, mahal na mahal ko pa rin kayo,” she said.
