As published in <i>Businessworld</i>, Grace scored 47 percent from the September 2 to 5 survey which had 1,200 respondents nationwide.</div><div><br/></div><div>Susan believes that her daughter is equipped for her political aspirations and that she supports her in this new venture that she is about to partake. “Bilang <i>magulang, lahat naman siguro tayong magulang, ibig nating makamit ng mga anak natin kung ano ang kanilang inaasam sa buhay.</i> Si Grace <i>ang napiling kurso sa kolehiyo ay political science. So alam ko na nakahanda siya na harapin kung ano mang</i> concerns <i>ang </i>related <i>sa trabahong ‘yan,</i>” she stated.</div><div><br/></div><div>Was she prepared or surprised when Grace declared her presidential bid? “<i>Bilang ina, never kang handang-handa. May mga pangyayari na bigla ka na lang nagugulat. Pero siyempre para sa magulang, ang anak mo muna bago ang sarili mo,</i> because it will be very selfish of a parent to be the one to decide k<i>ung ano ang para sa anak not unless opinyon mo ay hinihingi</i>.” </div><div><br/></div><div>When asked if her daughter asked her opinion with regards to her decision, she replied, “<i>Pag nakikita mo na desidido sa kanyang ginagawa, nandito ka lang para manalangin at kung anong magagawa mo para makatulong. Sa ngayon ang aking pananatiling tahimik ang makakatulong,</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>As supportive as she is to Grace, her daughter is also in full support of Susan’s new series <i>FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,</i> which is inspired by her late husband Fernando Poe’s movie. Susan relayed that Grace and the entire family is thankful that this project is made possible by the Kapamilya network. “Grace and all of us are very thankful to ABS-CBN, as well as <i>Dreamscape. Napakaingat na ginawa at pinaganda, hindi lamang pang telebisyon kundi pang-pelikula ang quality ng trabahong ito.</i>”</div><div><br/></div><div>She added, “<i>Pakiramdam ko parte pa rin si Ronnie (Fernando Poe) ng proyektong ito sapagkat marahil nagparamdam siya kay </i>Coco (Martin, the lead star of the show) na ‘<i>Kawawa naman ‘yung kapulisan natin, parang wala na silang nagawang tama [na] sana naman iparamdam ninyo sa ating kababayan na ang laki ng sakripsiyo ng nagtatanggol sa atin sa pang-araw-araw nating gawain.’ Kaya parte pa rin siya,</i>” she said.</div>
