After two years, Kapamilya star Maymay Entrata found the courage to publicly share her mother and grandmother's health crisis.

"Yung nanay ko po may cancer. And then yung lola ko po, complicated na yung health problem niya. Nag-da-dialysis na rin po siya. (My mother has cancer. And then my grandmother, her health problem is complicated. She's also on dialysis)," said an emotional Maymay during the Star Magic "Spotlight" press conference at Coffee Project in Quezon City on April 11.

Maymay, 27, stated that she draws strength from her family and friends while coping with the crisis. "Pamilya ko po ang karamay ko rito, mga kaibigan ko, churchmates, at mga mahal ko sa buhay. Ayoko talaga na may itinatago sa kanila so sinabi ko na ngayon. (My family is with me here, my friends, churchmates, and my loved ones. I really don't want to hide anything from them, so I told them now)."

The singer of "Amakabogera" felt positive about openly discussing her family's health crisis.

"Two years ko itong hindi naikwento kasi nga ayaw kong kaawaan nila ako. Pero tinanggal ko na yun. It's time na maging totoo na ako kung ano ang nangyayari sa aking buhay para malaman din ng ibang supporter ko kung ano talaga ang nangyayari sa buhay ko. Sana please pray for me sa problem kong ito. (I didn't make public about this for two years because I didn't want them to have pity on me. But I've put that aside. It's time for me to be honest about what's going on in my life so that my other supporters can also know what's really going on in my life. I hope you please pray for me with this problem of mine)," Maymay said.

Maymay added: "When I was in high school, parang naging independent na ako. Pero noong lumaki na ako at na-experience ko na ito, tinanggal ko na yung pagiging independent ko. Naging dependent na ako kay God mula noon. Na-accept ko na yung mga nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon. (When I was in high school, I felt like I was independent. But when I grew up and experienced it, I gave up my independence. I became dependent on God from then on. I have accepted what is happening in my life now.)

In May, Maymay will turn a year older. Star Magic also suprised her a birthday cake after the media conference. Her birthday wish: "Pare-pareho lang naman ang birthday wish ko. Yun din ang pinagdarasal ko everyday. Despite the trials, I will always choose to be happy and kind. Hindi naman laging happy kasi hindi naman mahaba ang pasensya natin. Mawawalan ka talaga ng pasensya. Sa dami ng plan natin sa buhay, hindi madali. Sana ma-maintain ko yun na maging happy, hopeful at mabuti sa kapwa ko. (My birthday wish is the same. That's what I pray for everyday. Despite the trials, I will always choose to be happy and kind. I'm not always happy because our patience is not long. You will really lose patience. With so many plans in life, it's not easy. I hope I can maintain that and be happy, hopeful and kind to my fellow man.)"
