“Unang-una yung sarili ko para maalagaan ko yung anak ko (Athena) na 8 years old. So para lumaki siya na masaya kasi alam mo iyon parang siyempre basically my husband passed away so, kailangan kong alalayan, more more time for her para gabayan siya,” Rufa Mae said.
She also revealed that performing again has been her way of coping with grief and bringing positivity to both herself and her daughter. “Kaya po ako nagshoshow ngayon para mabitbit ko ang kaligayahan kaysa sa kalungkutan… Alam mo yung sa sobrang heavy gusto mo na lang mag perform,” she explained. For Rufa Mae, staying joyful is not only about her healing but also for Athena’s well-being. “Kailangan kong sumaya kasi hindi puwedeng mas haggard pa ako, para na rin sa anak ko di ba. Kailangan niya ako eh, so kailangan maging masaya ako,” she added.

Inquirer also reported that Rufa Mae made a promise to Trevor after his death, saying ““I promise to take care of our daughter, we can’t stop thinking of you. Mahal ka namin.”
