Bianca Umali pens appreciation post for grandmother Vicky: 'Siya ang buhay ko'

Bianca Umali took to Instagram to honor her grandmother Vicky anew.

The Kapuso Prime Gem shared a photo of her Mama Vicky holding a radio. In her caption, Bianca said that her grandmother always keeps her radio on, from the early morning until late at night.

“Kahit pa habang nanood kami ng mga paborito niyang teleserye, naka on lang ang radyo sa background para walang makaligtaan na balita,” Bianca said.

Recently, however, Mama Vicky’s radio broke, and so she asked Bianca for a new one.

She told Bianca, “Eh yun nalang ang kasiyahan ko eh—basta habang nagwawalis, naglalaba o nagdidilig ako ng mga halaman ko—gusto ko nakikinig lang ako.”

The actress then agreed to give her one.

“And so binilhan ko siya at nung naibigay ko sa kanya, ang saya saya niya. At sabi ng mga pinsan ko, hindi daw niya ito binibitawan. Kahit saang sulok siya ng bahay magpunta.”

Bianca also shared a screenshot of a message that said the radio she gave is Mama Vicky’s “favorite companion.”

“Ganito kami pinalaki—masaya kami sa mga simpleng bagay lang. Kagaya niya.”

She also gave this message to her lola: “Mama, @vickyumali, anuman ang hilingin mo—sisikapin ko na ibigay sayo lalo kung alam ko na ikasasaya mo. Isa ito sa mga paraan kong maibabalik ko sayo ang lahat lahat ng mga ginawa mo para sakin. Hindi kita papabayaan.”

“Ang sarap lang ipangalandakan na mahal ko ang lola ko. Ayun lang," Bianca said. “Siya ang buhay ko."

Bianca is a proud lola’s girl and often pays tribute to her Mama Vicky.

The Kapuso actress was orphaned at an early age. Bianca lost her mother due to breast cancer at age five, then lost her dad due to a heart attack when she was 10.

She was raised by her Mama Vicky. On her 88th birthday, Bianca wrote, “Utang at alay ko sayo ang buhay ko.”

Bianca is starring in the upcoming “Encantadia” spin-off series, “Sang’gre” as Terra, the new keeper of the Brilyante ng Lupa.
