“Nung narinig ko po 'yung balita about my mother dun po ako nagising na parang my family needs me, my mother needs me. And siguro isa rin ito sa purpose ko in life. Kailangan kong lumaban, hindi lang para sa sarili ko pero para rin sa mama ko, para sa pamilya ko, at sa mga kapatid ko na siyemre nakaasa sa akin,” she remarked.

The experience also changed the way Awra viewed the money she had worked hard to save. Rather than hesitate about spending her savings, she said she was willing to use them for her family’s needs, knowing she could work and rebuild her finances again.

“Ako kahit na alam kong sobrang laki ng pinaghirapan ko para makapag-ipon tapos dun mapupunta 'yung ipon ko, okay lang po kasi kayang-kaya ko ulit mag-trabaho, kayang-kaya ko magsimula ulit magsimula from scratch kasi nagawa ko na po siya,” she highlighted.

Awra further shared that she now makes it a priority to immediately respond whenever her mother or siblings need assistance.

“This time po lahat ng kailangan ng mama ko, lahat po ng kailangan ng kapatid ko, isang tawag lang po nila sa akin, binibigay ko po agad kasi ngayon kaya ako nag-continue in life at kaya ko ginagawa ko ang lahat ng 'to, hindi na lang para sa sarili ko, para sa kanila na lang din po,” she relayed.

Despite finding renewed motivation, Awra admitted that she remains frightened by her mother’s diagnosis, particularly because Marivic is still young.

“Sobra po akong natatakot kasi bata pa po 'yung mama ko at alam naman po natin na pagbata ka, mas aggressive 'yung cancer kumalat,” she said.

Still, Awra said she chooses to focus on hope instead of allowing fear to overwhelm her. She explained that she leaves the situation in God’s hands while continuing to believe that it is too early to give up.

“Pero ayaw ko pong mag-isip ng negatibo. Gusto ko lang po mag-isip ng positive and pinagpapasa-Diyos ko na lang po,” she added.

Awra also shared an update on Marivic’s treatment, revealing that her mother has already completed two chemotherapy sessions.

“Ngayon nakaka-dalawang chemo na ang mama ko,” she relayed.

She also praised her older sister for consistently accompanying their mother to the hospital and handling the paperwork and tests required for her treatment.

“And sobrang sipag po ng ate ko lakarin lahat ng papel, lahat ng pagsama niya sa mama ko sa ospital linggo-linggo, walang kasawa-sawang test,” Awra said.

The actress emphasized that seeing her family go through the difficult period has only strengthened her resolve to continue working and meeting their needs.

“Kaya hindi rin po ako mapapagod na gawin lahat para lang po ma-provide ang pangangailangan nila,” she relayed.

For Awra, the difficult chapter has become a powerful reminder of why she continues to push forward—not only for herself, but also for the people she considers her greatest motivation.
