10. Jenine Desiderio
They may not get along all the time, as Janella Salvador admits, but the actress said she loves her mother very much -- a testament to how Jenine raised her daughter to value family above all else.
"Actually, yung mom ko lang kasi, overprotective talaga siya sa akin lalo na before," shared Janella. "I think lahat ng mother and daughter, may stage talaga na pag nag-adolescence stage or something, may mga away-away talaga na magaganap kasi may misunderstandings at may differences na."
"Pero I think napag-usapan na namin iyon. Parang nalampasan na namin ang stage na yon. Mas nagiging close na kami, mas nasasabi ko na sa kanya lahat," she added.
Jenine became a single mom after her husband Juan Miguel Salvador left her when Janella was just four. Photo: Instagram
