Grace Tanfelix has given her wholehearted approval to her son Miguel Tanfelix’s relationship with Ysabel Ortega. During her guesting on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, she warmly expressed her admiration for Ysabel, affirming that she genuinely likes her. Grace shared that from the very first time they met, she sensed Ysabel’s sincerity and appreciated her kind nature and strong family values.
Recounting their first meeting, Grace said it happened in a very casual setting at a restaurant. Miguel introduced Ysabel simply and informally, presenting her as a friend. At that point, there was no romantic label yet between the two, as Miguel clarified that they were still just getting to know each other and had not started dating officially.
When asked if she fully supports their relationship now, Grace didn’t hesitate to say yes. She was enthusiastic about Ysabel, even rhetorically asking who wouldn’t give their blessing to someone like her. Her response reflected a deep appreciation for Ysabel’s character and the positive energy she brings to Miguel’s life.
However, the tone slightly shifted when the conversation moved toward the possibility of marriage. While Grace is clearly supportive of their relationship, she admitted that she’s not ready to see her son settle down just yet. She believes Miguel is still in the early stages of his career and has so much more to accomplish before taking that next step.
Toward the end of the interview, Grace took the opportunity to express her deep gratitude to Miguel. She praised him for being a responsible son and for constantly supporting their family. Her message was filled with pride and affection, highlighting not only Miguel’s accomplishments but also his kind-hearted nature.
Miguel responded with equal warmth, thanking his mother for always showing her love and for being the glue that keeps their family close. He described her as the one who always initiates family bonding moments and ensures they stay connected despite their busy schedules. He also offered a heartfelt apology for not being home often, to which Grace replied with understanding, showing the depth of their close-knit relationship.
