Grandparents' Day: Meet Tita Lola, the one who brought the 'house' to 'The Hows of Us'

It can't be denied that Tita Lola is one of the most important characters in Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla's new film "The Hows of Us".

Played by Susan Africa, Tita Lola saw Primo and George through the early stages of their relationship. She taught them about the deep power of love, of forgiveness and most importantly, pinamana niya 'yung bahay niya sa kanilang dalawa. At siyempre hindi rin nagpatalo sa linyahan si Tita Lola!

Without this character, "The Hows of Us" wouldn't be the unique, human story that it turned out to be and as such, Tita Lola deserves our utmost appreciation today, September 9, as we celebrate Grandparents' Day.

Even netizens took note of Tita Lola's amazing characterization, with some likening her to their own mothers and grandmothers:

After watching THOU. Nakita ng parents ko si Tita Lola. Sabi ng mom ko, tinanong daw ni Tita Lola kung kamusta yung movie.
My mom said “maganda po, nakakaiyak”.

Hello, mom? Di naman masyadong halata na nakakaiyak sa maga mong mata diba? 😂 #TheHowOfUsMaramingSalamat pic.twitter.com/dRI2f3k24C

Ngayon ko lang narealize, kaya pala “The Hows of Us” kasi una, paano nila masasave yung relationship nila. And pangalawa, yung “House” na pinamana sa kanila ni Tita Lola kung saan umikot halos lahat yung kwento. 😱

The scenes with Tita Lola maybe short but also had the most emotional impact with me. Magaling talaga si Susan Africa ever since. Maski sandali, may tatak, naalala mo siya. #TheHowsOfThankYous
