Karla Estrada has always been proud of being a single mother.
In her Instagram post uploaded on January 29, 2020, the mom of four says, "Ito ang parte ng buhay ko na hinding-hindi ko ipagpapalit! Simple lang pero totoo ang saya."
The 45-year-old actress avows that she keeps conquering the challenges of parenthood because her children—Daniel, Jose Carlito, Margarita, and Leila—are growing up to be God-fearing.
Karla tells PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that this is one of the most important lessons her grandmother imparted to her: "Sinasabi ng lola ko before, turuan mong magdasal ang mga anak mo para everything will follow.
"Kumbaga, kapag may takot sa Diyos ang mga bata, hindi ka na mamromroblema, di ba.
"Parang bago pa nila gawin iyong bagay na hindi maganda, maiisip na nila na kasalanan.
"So spiritual talaga ang aking number one na pinapasa sa kanila."
Karla admits she is continuously working on strengthening her faith alongside her kids.
She relates, "Kasi me myself is struggling. Nag-i-struggle talaga ako sa spiritual kasi sino naman ang hindi, di ba.
"Dahil talaga naman nagkakasala tayo every day.
"Pero pinipilit mo pa rin maging mabuti.
"So ganon iyong pinapasa ko, of course, iyong values, iyong spiritual nila na mas lumalim."
PEP.ph talked to Karla during the Lady's Choice Creamy Christmas Village event held on November 27, 2019, at the Glorietta 2 Activity Center, Makati City.
