He explained that she had been away in the United Kingdom for two months. When he returned to the Philippines, his relationship with Ate Gay had become strained, with the two experiencing disagreements that resulted in periods of silence and reconciliation.

According to Pepita, their relationship had been somewhat inconsistent during that period, as they would sometimes make amends after an argument but would also experience new misunderstandings.

“Kasi two months akong nawala, nasa UK ako. Pagkauwi ko, medyo on and off kami na mag-ina, ni Ate Gay. Meron kaming away, tapos bati kami. So mga two months, medyo hindi kami nag-uusap, hindi pagkakaunawaan…” she recalled.

However, what made their eventual reconciliation particularly memorable for Pepita was the fact that Ate Gay was the one who initiated their conversation.

He explained that, because Ate Gay was considered a pioneer and a mother figure within their group, the younger members were normally expected to approach him first whenever disagreements occurred.

Pepita admitted that he was surprised when Ate Gay unexpectedly reached out to her instead.

“Siya talaga ’yung unang nag-approach na hindi ginagawa ni Ate Gay ’yun kasi as pioneer, nanay-nanayan, kami talaga muna ’yung dapat mag-a-approach. Pero this time, nagulat ako, bigla na lang niya ako kinausap…” she said.

Looking back on what happened, Pepita expressed how thankful she was that they had managed to reconcile before Ate Gay’s passing.

He considered their restored relationship a blessing, especially because their disagreement had lasted for approximately two months while she was away.

“Kaya sabi ko talaga, ’Lord, salamat, kasi bago mawala si Ate Gay, ’yung two months na nawala ako, ’yung two months na hindi kami nag-uusap, pag-uwi ko sa Pilipinas, okay kami bago siya a,’” Pepita shared.

For Pepita, knowing that he and Ate Gay had already made peace before his death was something she would always be grateful for.
