"Noong pumasok siya sa kuwarto, mag-uumpisa pa lang siya ng salita na 'I have both good news and bad news,' tumayo ako, hinabol ko ang mga doctors. Sabi ko, sampu sila, 'Doctors, I am the mother. I would like to know exactly because I can take it at hindi naman ako isang tanga na hindi ko maiintindihan 'yan.' So, they sat down again dahil nag-aayos na sila ng mga papers. And then, I talked to them and they answered everything that I wanted to know."

Patuloy niyang kuwento, "Si Albert, aalis na. Inabot sa kanya ni Rachel yung bills. Tapos, sabi ba naman ni Albert, nginunguso niya na ibigay sa akin ang bills. Meron bang ganun? Asawa ka. Lalake ka. Kahit ba anak ko si Liezel, ang dapat nun, makipag-usap siya na parang tunay na lalake. Huwag yung iningunguso sa akin. E, kitang-kita ko. Dapat nun, 'Ma, paano ba 'to? Ma, ganito lang ang pera namin.' E, alam naman nilang hindi na ako nag-aartista. Whatever little money I am making is just enough for me to live on a decent lifestyle. Hindi yung lifestyle of the rich and famous."

"IT IS MY DUTY TO TEACH MY DAUGHTER HOW TO BE GRATEFUL." Sa kundisyon ngayon ni Liezel, tila ang kailangan niya ngayon ay suporta at pagmamahal, pero meron pa rin silang hindi pagkakaintindihan ng kanyang ina. Ano ang masasabi ni Amalia rito?

"Siya lang ang merong hindi pagkakaintindihan," sagot ng dating aktres. "Ako, as I've said, three months ago, I gave her P200,000. One thing about Liezel, I offered her my physical, emotional, and financial support. But the only thing that she has accepted was the financial side.

"Alam mo, katulad kay Kris [Aquino], hinahangaan ko si Kris... Although her mother [former President Cory Aquino] was very rich and can afford all the medical, and yet, alam mo si Kris, nagbibigay sa mother niya whatever she can give. As a token ba to show her mother that 'I care'. Bakit ako, since Anna Liza was born up to this day, she has never given me anything. Not a cent. Because she feels that I can afford it. But you know, the mother also feels na, 'Uy, nagsasakripisyo ang aking anak para masiyahan ako.'"

Saan ba niya gustong pumunta ang isyung ito at paano sila magkakaayos ni Liezel?

"Ewan ko kung magkakaayos pa kami. Kasi ako naman, I will not take any kind of ano from her. Because as a mother, it is my duty to teach my daughter how to be grateful. Yes, para siya ang nag-accept ng award, lahat ng tao, 'thank you, thank you,' pati si Aga [Amalia's nephew]. E, kung si Aga, hindi ko anak, he acknowledged all the help that I have given him. I've raised him also like a brother to Liezel. Because I realized, Liezel needed a brother or sister. And that's Arlene and Aga nga. But for her, just to dismiss me with a sorry, oo, siya ang naging sorry because God will not let it go by. God will punish her.

"Before I came here, I prayed for this and I told the Lord, 'Lord, if it's the right thing to do, let me go on with the show. And if it's not right, then hindi matutuloy ito.' I leave everything in the hands of God. Even her life, even yung mga relationship namin... Hindi rin naman puwede yung one-sided lamang na ako lang yung salita nang salita sa kanya tapos siya, e, magsasalita sa TV para lang pasalamatan ang lahat ng tao, pati si Pops, buhay niya utang. Hindi tama yun."

Gaano ba niya kamahal ang kanyang anak?

"You know, I have never loved anybody as much as I love my daughter," sabi ni Amalia. "This is harder for me to come here and denounce her because a mother's love doesn't need any kind of affirmation. Kahit ano pang pagkakamali ang nagawa niya, nagtanan siya, pinaakyat niya si Albert sa bahay ko, na hindi ko ginawa sa buhay ko. Ako ang may-ari ng bahay. Ako ang nagpagawa. I respected my own house. You know, ginawa na niyang lahat ng kabastusan sa akin, pero napatawad ko pa rin siya.

"So, ngayon, kung nakikinig ka Liezel, just remember that I love you. You don't have to say you're sorry and you don't have to say you have to be an ideal daughter. I've accepted you in the same manner that you accepted your children. At lahat ng gusto mong mangyari sa anak mo, yun din ang gusto kong mangyari sa anak ko. Lahat ng ipinagdarasal mo at lahat ng pagmamahal na ibinibigay mo sa anak n'yo, ganundin ang ibinigay ko at alam 'yan ng lahat."

Sinubukan ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na kunin ang panig nina Liezel at Albert ngunit hindi raw sila magsasalita tungkol sa isyung ito. Ganunpaman, mananatiling bukas ang PEP sa panig ng mag-asawa kung sakaling handa na silang magsalita.
