Candy Pangilinan's latest vlog offers a heartfelt glimpse into the challenging realities many parents face while raising children on the autism spectrum.

In the nearly 10-minute vlog, the comedienne was brought to tears after her son Quentin became triggered and had a meltdown.

"Pagod na nga kasi mom, tama na!" Candy pleaded with Quentin, who was also crying.

"Pwede ba makinig ka na?" She pleaded.

Candy shared that it was the first time she openly expressed to Quentin how "drained and tired" she was feeling.

"He quite understood the conversation," Candy observed, after she noticed how her son became very behaved. "He doesn't want to see mom crying," she added.

Amid the emotional moment, Candy tried to reason with Quentin by asking him questions, as if hoping to help him calm down and understand.

"Napapagod na si mommy," Candy told Quentin in between tears. "Hindi ka na makuha sa mabuting usapan. Hindi ka na makuha sa galit."

Candy also explained to Quentin how important it is for her to work so she can provide their needs.

After they both calmed down, Quentin thanked Candy and showed remorse for his actions, he asked ""Do you forgive me? Sorry po. Hindi ko na uulitin. Are you mad at me?"

"Wala akong lakas magalit," Candy answered.

"Parents can get tired but we can never give up. I just showed Quentin how vulnerable I can be. It's working. He is trying to help," Candy said at the end of the video.

Candy has long been candid on social media about her journey raising her neurodivergent son. In addition to being his mother, she also takes on the role of his teacher.
