"Hindi na natin iisipin kung anong pinagsimulan, kung saan galing, sino ang mas may tama, sino ang mali. Hindi, ako dapat. Ako ang bago, ako ang mas nangangailangan, hindi si Mother. Ako ang mas higit na kulang pa sa kaalaman sa negosyong ito, ako dapat ang una. Ako dapat ang nagbibigay ng respeto...

"Kung hindi man nangyari yung launching na binabalak ni Mother dati... I think Mamarazzi is the right project at the right time because Mother Lily was motherly enough to accept my apologies if there were some delays that I have caused.

"Mother, sana sa 50th anniversary na ito, itong binigay mo sa 'king pagtitiwala, pagkakataon, ang iyong pagpapasensya sa akin, sana maibalik ko sa 'yo, sana mapaligaya kita."

Uge also took the opportunity to thank the person who encouraged her to approach the lady boss of Regal.

"Masasabi ko na ang artista nagtatagumpay hindi lang dahil sa magaling siya kundi dahil marunong siyang makisama, marunong siyang rumispeto sa nauna sa kanya at higit sa lahat, marunong siyang magpasalamat, at marunong siyang makinig. So thank you, Manay Ethel, for that beautiful advice. It really helped me para mabuo ang pagkatao ko."

When asked about the leasson she learned from the entire experience, she replied "respeto."

Uge continued, "Kahit saang anggulo mo tingnan, ang respeto sa mas may edad, sa mas nakakaalam at sa mas ahead sa 'yo, dapat mong i-consider. Hindi yung pride mo, hindi yung akala mo may pangalan ka, hindi yung ikaw yung unang lalapitan. Yun naman din ang itinuro ng mga magulang natin. Respeto sa mas nakakatanda, acceptance sa iyong pagkakamali at paghingi ng tawad.

She added, "Iyan ang magtutulak sa 'yo sa mas magandang kinabukasan. Iyan ang natutunanan ko sa pinagdaanan namin ni Mother."
