Actress Yassi Pressman gets emotional as she recalls reconciling with her mom, Belcy Yasto.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Yassi candidly shared how things eventually worked out between them following the heartbreaking loss of her father, Ronnie Pressman.

"Para sa akin din po, especially kasi parang binubuhat ko po 'yung buong mundo on my own. Parang kailangan ko pong maiwan na kasama 'yung kapatid ko at wala nang daddy," Yassi opened up.

The actress admitted that she and her mom had gone through several misunderstandings. However, she eventually realized that she wanted her mom to be part of her life, especially as she prepares to marry her fiancé, Luigi Villafuerte.

Determined to finally reconcile, Yassi decided to visit her mom at her home.

"But this is why, again, sabi ko again, I'm not losing hope ever. Kasi never say never. Look at this, isang araw na hinanap ko lang siya at sabi ko sa kanya, 'Hello.' Dumating lang ako sa pintuan, 'Hello. Pwede ba tayong mag-usap?' Tapos nag-start na," she shared.

Yassi admitted that there was still tension and that they had arguments when they met.

However, things eventually took a turn when she expressed that she simply wanted to talk and have her mom by her side on her wedding day.

"Sabi ko, 'Puwede nating pag-usapan lahat ng mga nakaraan paulit-ulit. Pero wala na talaga tayong magagawa doon. So, moving forward, gusto mo bang ayusin 'to ?" she recalled asking before her mother embraced her.

Yassi acknowledged that both sides had their own grudges. Nevertheless, their love for each other ultimately prevailed.

"Kasi siyempre feeling ko naman po to be honest, tao lang din naman po tayo at nangyayari din naman po 'yun sa lahat ng mga pamilya. Right? So I think 'yun lang. Time healed," she added.

Yassi also expressed gratitude to her late father, believing that he became the key to healing the emotional void she had been carrying.

Now, Yassi enjoys spending time with her mom and the rest of her family. Her mother has also met her fiancé, and they have shared a heartwarming meal.

"Tapos 'yung nakakatuwa is parang walang nangyari. Close na kami agad. Like, lahat ng binitbit mo na bigat o sama ng loob, lahat nawala," she shared.

"Tapos parang casual kaming nag-uusap na tumitingin ako sa paligid. Naiyak ako kasi nandun po kami sa bahay kung saan ako lumaki na parang sabi ko, "Ang dali lang pala ayusin ng mga bagay-bagay minsan.'"

Yassi is also the sister of Issa Pressman. The siblings were raised by their British father after their parents separated. In 2020, their father passed away at the age of 90.

Meanwhile, Yassi got engaged to Luigi Villafuerte after he popped the question in a picturesque, savanna-like setting.
