“Months before kasi ano na siya, expected na namin yung mangyayari kasi marami nang false alarms sa Lola ko. So we were getting ready, pero siyempre iba pa rin pag nandun na. Actually months before, August, I remember I told my assistant and my mom na, sabi ko ‘let’s just be real noh, paano pag January 5 or 6 may nangyari kay Ina, ano ang mararamdaman nating lahat? Ready na ba tayo? Ready naman na tayo, kasi ganun na yung condition niya.’ Sabi ko, may pakiusap lang ako: Huwag niyo pong sabihin sa akin at kay mama,” said Domingo.

“My mom arrived in Pulilan (Bulacan) January 6 in the morning. Mahirap hindi sabihin sa kanya na ganun na 'yung nangyayari, kasi she was there. My Lola passed away 7am, hinintay lang niya dumating ang nanay ko siguro,” he said.
