Jackie Lou Blanco opened up about her regrets in life.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, the veteran actress was asked about her thoughts on regrets.

“I have many regrets but after a while, you need to move on and say, ‘Okay, this is what I’ve learned and kung ano man ‘yung hindi ko ginawang tama dati, hindi ko na siya gagawin,’” she said.

Jackie Lou highlighted that the only thing that you can do when faced with regrets is to take all the learnings in.

“Kasi ‘yun lang ‘yung pwede mong gawin e. It’s the learning—what you learned from that na pwede mong i-share sa iba who are going through that and after a while, you need to forgive yourself for the wrong things that you have done,” she stated.

She added that if there is one thing that she could change in the past, Jackie said that she hoped she did not part ways with Ricky Davao.

“Sana hindi kami naghiwalay ni Ricky kung mababago ko siya only because I can see how affected my children were,” she said.

“Although they are very understanding, you know that they have been affected in many ways. So sana hindi na lang [kami naghiwalay] para hindi sila naapektuhan in those ways,” she added.

Jackie Lou and Ricky were married in 1989. They have three children.

The actress stressed that since she could no longer change the past, she and Ricky make sure to co-parent their children well.

“What I can only do now, both of us, is to still co-parent and to still, I guess, do what we can with what we have now kasi hindi mo na pwedeng baguhin ‘yun eh,” she remarked.

Jackie shared that actually they live near to each other.

“If there’s any emergency, if there’s anything, ang lapit lang The kids can just go back and forth,” she said.

On her friendship with Ricky, Jackie said: “We’re not chummy-chummy. [We have] not-so-long conversations but we do [talk].”

She added: “If I have to tell Ricky something that I cannot say in person, I text him. Sometimes he’ll answer, sometimes he doesn’t answer. But even if he doesn’t answer, kung ano man ‘yung nilalapit ko sa kanya [ay] ginagawan niya ng paraan. So, okay na sa akin ‘yun.”

In the same interview, the actrss was asked how motherhood changed her life.

“Motherhood has been such a blessing, I mean there is an extension of you na kasi. There are human beings that are dependent on you and one of the most beautiful blessings in my life is to be a mother and I am blessed with good children.”

Jackie Lou, who is also a grandmother now, was also sked about the difference between being a mother and a grandmother.

“Kasi pag mom ka nandun yung disciplining, nandun ‘yung, mas reponsibility. When you are a [grandmother], or me my apo calls me Momam, I just enjoy them eh, I don’t have to discipline them,” she pointed out.

“My mom used to say, ‘Bahala ka basta dito sa kwarto ko gusto nila magakalat, okay. Kung buksan nila ‘yung fridge ko, may chocolates, okay. Di sila pwede mag-chocolate sa’yo pwede sila mag-chocolate dito,” she added.
