There is something incredibly comforting about Dimples Romana’s passionate portrayal of the kind-hearted Tita Precious Amador, especially as she does everything possible to become a deeply cherished mother figure to Billy (Kathryn Bernardo) and Oliver (Migz Casimiro).
Let’s journey back to these 15 beautiful moments conveying the love-filled bond between Precious, Billy, and Oliver.
Precious sheds tears after Billy’s unfulfilled wedding
Even though Billy’s wedding did not go as planned since her ex-fiancé Alvin (JC de Vera) eloped with his mistress Gia (Arci Muñoz), she still managed to smile as she partied at the empty reception area with Precious, Jordan (James Reid), Charm (Mary Joy Apostol), and Toni (Kat Galang). It was actually Precious who wept for her, repeatedly asking if Billy was truly feeling better and assuring her that it’s perfectly normal to cry.
Precious makes every effort to look after Billy and Oliver
Whenever Billy is preoccupied with being the CEO of LoveList, Precious will do everything in her power to take care of the young Oliver. One of the first moments in which viewers witnessed their familial connection was the time Billy got home late following the celebration of LoveList’s anniversary. Billy then entered Oliver’s room, observing him and Precious discussing computer-related topics. Despite Precious’ busy schedule at Angels of Grace: Center for Women, she was still able to cook Billy’s favorite sinigang.
Precious feels satisfied with all the love everyone gives her
In the midst of Oliver’s medical emergency, Precious arrived and spotted Billy and Jordan asleep on the waiting bench. She also remembered when the two best friends were younger, especially when they sat in front of the grave of Billy’s departed mother. As soon as Oliver recovered, they quickly prepared to go home, with Billy and Jordan teasing Precious about her love life. In response, Precious playfully expressed that all the love she receives from them, as well as from her people at Angels of Grace, is more than enough.
Oliver as Billy and Precious’ “bunso”
Immediately after Oliver’s medical emergency, Billy became even stricter and meticulous about his health routines, even calling Precious while at work. Knowing that Billy needed more help, Precious took a two-week leave of absence to watch over the studious Oliver, who was yearning to return to school despite his ongoing recovery.
Billy and Precious talking about their destined family
While celebrating the anniversary of their rent-to-own house and discussing bills, Billy fondly spoke about how everything they have now—which was initially promised by her estranged father—was actually brought to life by her and Precious. When Precious brought up the possibility of Billy telling Oliver the truth about their father, Billy decided that the man was long gone from their lives.
Precious reminds Billy of the right way to defend herself
Following the sudden hacking incident at LoveList, Billy confronted Jordan’s ex-girlfriend, Valerie (Daniela Stranner), asking if she was the one behind the cyberattack. The confrontation ended with Billy punching Valerie after she spoke ill of Billy’s late mother. Later, during a dinner at Billy's house with Precious and their guest, Abi (Maja Salvador), Precious reminded the still-furious Billy about the downsides of resorting to violence.
Billy asks Precious for help in finding the missing house key
Shortly after Oliver left for school, Billy noticed her house key was missing. With motherly care, Precious asked if the confused Billy had left the keys in her car or office. Eventually, Precious handed over her own keys and promised that she would look for the missing one as soon as she got home.
Precious, Billy, and Oliver get ready for family day
Throughout Crestwood Academy’s family day, both Precious and Billy were energized to participate in the games for Oliver’s happiness.

When Jordan finally showed up, the exhausted Precious rested and likely enjoyed watching the people she cherished most.
Billy catches Precious trying LoveList
Having been single for quite a while, Precious discreetly decided to use LoveList to find her match. Despite Billy’s encouragement, Precious was actually hesitant to pursue her recent romantic match on the application, reasoning that she had not yet moved on from her past lover, who died of a heart attack during their wedding, and was also afraid that it would be the same again.
Billy and Oliver tease Precious’ LoveList match
Taking Billy’s advice into consideration, Precious was all smiles after accepting a man named Brandon as her match on LoveList. She explained that they might vibe well together since he is similar to her, frequently volunteering in orphanages, feeding programs, and the like. Adorably, Oliver happened to check Precious’ LoveList account and couldn’t resist teasing her.
Precious’ and Billy’s perspectives on Oliver’s self-defense
One day at school, Oliver defended himself and his friend Suzie against a relentless bully named Biboy. Soon enough, both Precious and Billy were called to the principal’s office, where Billy argued with Biboy’s self-righteous parents. In the end, it was Suzie who told the truth, clearing the false accusations against Oliver. When Oliver reassured Suzie that he would continuously fight back against Biboy’s bullying, Precious agreed that he really takes after his sister, Billy.
Oliver and Billy playfully soothe Precious’ worries
Aware that Precious does not condone violence, Oliver apologized for causing trouble at school. While Billy and Precious did not see him as a troublemaker at all, Precious tried to be strict about steering Oliver away from hitting others, even in self-defense. Within moments, both Billy and Oliver began to show affection, hoping to soften Precious’ frown.
Precious and Billy converse about their personal lives
Shifting the conversation back to their love lives, Billy urged Precious to finally find her true love. Precious warmly returned the sentiment, wishing for Billy to experience romance and allow her to share life’s burdens, especially after working tirelessly in her youth and making countless sacrifices to raise Oliver.
Precious comforts Billy after her estranged father returns
Just as Billy was thriving, her estranged father, Enrico (Rowell Santiago), suddenly called, bringing all of her trauma back at once. Precious immediately stayed by Billy’s side, wondering about Enrico’s intentions after he had disappeared for ten years. Although Precious offered to be the one to talk to him, Billy refused and blocked his number instead.
Precious is the mother Billy needs
Feeling the pain of her father’s unexpected return even more after he personally visited her at the park, Billy cried inside her room. Precious followed her inside and gently took her hand, remembering how she was amazed by young Billy’s deep love for Oliver, which made her want to become their adoptive mother. Knowing that Billy rarely asked for help, Precious pleaded with Billy to finally let her be the mother she needed.
