“The usual mother-and-daughter relationship," sabi ni Lotlot.

"Kaya lang, ever since she got back from the States, hindi pa kami talaga nagkakausap at nagkakasama nang matagal.

"She’s very busy, ako rin may trabaho. Pero once naman na pinapatawag niya kami, nandiyan naman kami.

"Yung mga isyung samaan ng loob, wala na yun sa amin. Matatanda na kaming mga anak niya para sa isyung iyan.”

NORA AS NATIONAL ARTIST. Naitanong din kay Lotlot kung ano ang side niya sa usaping may mga nagsusulong sa pangalan ni Nora para maging susunod na National Artist?

“I think my mom deserves that [as do] the other veteran actors that we have.

"So, sana mabigyan siya ng recognition.

"My mom, you know, she has worked all her life and to be given that special kind of recognition is napakalaking bagay para sa kanya.

"So, hopefully, we will be praying for that," sabi ng aktres.

Personally, ano ang mararamdaman niya kung sakaling tanghalin ngang National Artist ang mommy niya?

“Siyempre, napakalaking recognition nun.

"It will be such an honor hindi lang para kay mommy kundi para sa family namin. I will be very happy for my mom.

"Pero knowing my mom, she’s a very humble person, e. Whether makuha niya o hindi, I think she’s already happy with all the achievements she has accomplished.

"And sa dami na ng pinagdaanan ni Mommy dito sa industriya, with or without it, she’s a national artist in her own right.

"So, okay na yun.”
