MATET OPENS UP ABOUT BEING ADOPTED AND BEING WHOLE AGAIN | Bernadette Sembrano

The Gen X knows her as the best friend ng bayan. But originally, aside from being a child star with her famous line “takot ako”, she is the daughter of the Superstar Nora Aunor. “Ito pala ang buhay niya”, I thought to myself after we said our goodbyes at the Amoranto Stadium in Quezon City. It was difficult to schedule an interview with her because she was extremely busy, and her three daughters—Mikhaela, Mishka, and Mia—had packed schedules as well. One daughter was competing in an event, while another was preparing to start at a new university. Being the hands-on mom that she is, ANG BUHAY NG ANAK NIYA ANG BUHAY NIYA. Ito pala si Matet. NAGULAT ang buong pamilya niya na kaya niyang maging devoted na ina. “Black sheep ako,” she told me. But when I met her, she is just one cool mom. Yan lang ang masasabi ko. Tara! Find out how motherhood healed Matet’s brokenness of being an adopted daughter. ------------- CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 1:50 Get to know the De Leon's 4:27 Matet's mom, the superstar Nora Aunor 8:32 Matet's dream as a mother 10:37 Passion for sports of Matet's daughters 12:42 Matet's childhood + motherhood journey 15:44 Her husband, Mickey and their family 18:55 God's challenge to the family + Matet's faith/prayers 22:05 Daughters' message to their parents ------------- #BernadetteSembrano #MatetDeLeon #FamilyTime
