MANILA, Philippines — Actress Matet de Leon revealed that the rift between her and mother Nora Aunor because of "tuyo" has been settled.
In an interview with Philstar.com during the launch of her upcoming movie "Unspoken Letters" yesterday, Matet said their misunderstanding has been settled before the year 2022 ended.
"Bago matapos ang December, nag-chat sa akin si mama. Nagsabi siya na sana kalimutan na namin ang hindi namin pagkakaintindihan," she said.
"Sinong tatanggi sa nanay? Walang tatanggi sa nanay. So kung ano man 'yung binitbit ko na galit, nagsalita lang ako ng tapos na hindi ko na siya talaga kakausapin kahit kailan.
"Kaya lang, siyempre lalambot ang puso ko. Nanay mo 'yon, inaayos ang problema. Bakit hindi, di 'ba? Napalaki naman niya ako ng maayos e. So gano'n," she added.
Matet said that her tuyo business is now growing as they have now a stall.
"Doing well. Sa katunayan, nag-branch out na kami. Hindi lang gourmet tuyo and tinapa, mayroon na rin kaming stall sa UN Avenue. So, doing well," she added.
