In her interview with Morly Alinio, Candy shared that some of the most painful experiences she endured were caused by people she never thought would judge or treat them differently.
“Minsan nga 'yung mga taong hindi mo inaasahan na mambu-bully, sila pa 'yun. Siguro dahil hindi nila naiintindihan o hindi nila alam na nambu-bully sila,” she shared.
The actress admitted that when she first encountered such situations, she found them difficult to accept.

“Noong first time na nangyari po 'yun, nasasaktan pa ako. 'Pagdating ko sa bahay, minindset ko, 'Hindi ako dapat nasasaktan.' Kasi anak ko nga walang pakialam. Dapat hindi ako nasasaktan kasi hindi nila naiintindihan.”
According to Candy, these incidents happened more than once, particularly during parties and social gatherings. She noticed that Quentin would often find himself alone and had learned to bring toys with him to keep himself occupied.
“Naintindihan ko naman 'yung ibang bata kasi siyempre hindi siya maintindihan e,” Candy said.
She also recalled instances when even some relatives seemed indifferent toward her son.
“Merong times na hindi mo akalain 'yung mga kamag-anak mo pa hindi papansin sa anak mo. Hayaan mo lang.”
While the experiences were heartbreaking, Candy said they also became opportunities for growth and reflection. One of the moments she remembers most involved Quentin comforting her during a difficult time.
“There was a time na umiiyak ako. Nahuli ako ni Quentin first time. Sabi niya, 'Why cry?'”
“Someone did something bad to us,” Candy recalled telling him.
“Did you do something bad?” Quentin asked.
“No.”
“You have no problem.”
Candy admitted that her son's simple response gave her a new perspective and reminded her not to dwell on the negativity of others.
She described Quentin as her “ticket to heaven” and credited him for teaching her valuable lessons she never expected to learn.
“Hindi totoo na ako ang nagtuturo kay Quentin. Mas marami siyang tinuturo sa akin.”
“'Yung pasensya, pagmamahal, innocence, 'yung hindi ka nag-iisip ng masama sa ibang tao.”
“'Yung lahat ng hindi ako, siya. Tinuro niya sa akin kaya ako naging ganito.”
Candy also offered words of encouragement to fellow parents facing similar struggles.
“Kaya huwag niyong sukuan. Pwede po kayong mapagod. Huwag lang kayo sumuko.”
“Kasi hindi po tayo sinusukuan ng Panginoon.”
Despite the pain caused by judgment and misunderstanding, Candy remains steadfast in her role as a mother, drawing strength from the lessons, resilience, and unconditional love she continues to receive from Quentin.
