She mentions that her husband had a lingering illness before he passed away, thus, somewhat, her heart was able to comprehend that death is just part of life. “Mauuna lang ako. Balang araw magkikita rin tayo,” this, her husband told her before.Reflecting on their journey, she highlights the profound lessons her husband imparted, emphasizing the power of unconditional love.

Masaya ako na naalagaan ko siya. Masaya ako na nabigay ko ang lahat para sa kanya... He allowed me to be the person that I am.”Asked how the family has been coping with the loss, she says that it helps to understand non-verbal cues and hold on to the love they all share, “You just feel each other. Learn to read the nuances of each person in the room at respetuhin mo ang bawat tao na kasama mo.”Charo exudes incredible strength, but she clarifies, “Pero hindi ako superwoman, ha. May mga pagkakataon na napapagod ako.” What she does is honor her feelings and move forward from there, “Hindi ako nagtatapang-tapangan.”Switching gears, we catch a glimpse of her other role at home. She revels in the joys of being a grandmother, “Masarap maging lola kasi wala ka namang responsibility sa pagdsiplina sa kanila.
