"I guess, kasi yung motherhood, iba-iba diba? Ako kasi na-enjoy ko talaga siya," Angelica shared honestly. "Hindi maiiwasan na minsan na gusto mo ng space, ng time, na gusto mo munang mag-isa, or 5 minutes lang na break but yung overall na pagiging nanay, I love it."

When asked if she had always envisioned this path for herself, Angelica admitted that building a home has always been a primary dream.

"Gusto ko talaga ng sarili ko, gusto ko talaga ng sarili kong pamilya that I can call my own," she added.

The most emotional part of the interview came when Angelica bared the details of her birthing story with her daughter, Amila Sabine.

"Diba dapat ang bata nakayuko para makalabas sila naturally, so nakatihaya siya so kailangan akong hiwain," Angelica recalled. "Dun na medyo nag-shake yung katawan ko, kasi ang usapan talaga namin ng OB ko nun na kahit anong mangyari, ayoko ma-cesarean."

While she agreed to the surgery for safety reasons, it was a huge mental shift.

"Well, syempre kung delikado na talaga, pero let's do our best na wag sana ako ma-cesarean. Gusto kong damahin talaga, umiire ako, yung mga ginagawa sa pelikula. Kasi nag-workshop pa ako, pano umire, pano huminga ng tama."

Because she had to be awake during the c-section procedure, Angelica relied heavily on her husband, Gregg Homan, to narrate the exact second their little girl entered the world.

"I remember sumisigaw na si Gregg na; 'She's out,' 'She's got curly hair,' 'She's so white.' Pag-iyak ni Amila, yun na yung parang gusto ko nang mag-pass out. Kasi parang ginigising ka lang nila all throughout the process pag cesarean ka," she detailed vividly.

The heavy exhaustion of the operating room instantly vanished the moment she felt the physical reality of her newborn daughter's presence.

"Nung gumanun [humawak] siya sa daliri ko, dun ako napa-choke, 'Ay my God, ito na yun,'" Angelica bared emotionally.
