Senator Grace Poe: “Nabigla rin kami pero …”
GRACE POE — The daughter of late veteran actress and Queen of Philippine Movies Susan Roces recalled her mother’s last days.
On Saturday, the senator said in an interview with the press held during her mother’s wake at the Heritage Memorial Park in Taguig City that her mother showed signs of change during her last days.
“Nabigla rin kami pero kapag inisip namin ang kanyang mga gawain sa mga nakaraang buwan at linggo, inihanda na niya kami talaga,” she said.
The senator shared that they would always talk on the phone for an hour or more. However, she had been in a hurry to end their conversations for the past two weeks.
When her mother was brought to the hospital last Tuesday, the senator said that her mother also left reminders for her grandchildren and complained about pains.
The senator was also asked what she would like to tell her mother.
“Gusto ko lang sabihin sa kanya na maraming salamat hinanda niya kami,” she said. “‘Ma, parang nawalan ako ng saklay. Pero sabi mo naman palagi ‘di ba, ‘Grasya, kaya mo ‘yan. Kayanin mo ‘yan. Huwag mo akong papahiyain.’ So kakayanin namin at alam kong nand’yan ka.”
According to a report on GMA News Online, Susan Roces died last Friday due to cardiopulmonary arrest and her wake will be until May 24 at 10:00 pm.

Rappler reported that the senator shared that she excitedly called her mother last Tuesday upon learning that President Rodrigo Duterte has already signed into law the bill recognizing foundlings as natural-born Filipinos.
Based on a report, she considered their last conversation to be “symbolic” because it seemed that her mother waited for the passage of the Foundling Law before bidding them goodbye.
