JOANNA ... a daughter any parent would be proud to have. Of course, I’m being prejudistic kasi anak ko ‘yan eh. Pero in fairness to my daughter, she really deserves all the compliment.

She successfully juggles her life as an A-1 college student and a part-time worker. She also has school clubs to take care of and church choir every other Sundays to attend to. I know that to some, these stuff that she does, would just be humdrum or really not out of the ordinary. Pero what her Mom and I consider to be her greatest achievement, and the one thing that we are truly proud of, is her unfailing love and respect which she shows not just to us her parents alone but to her brother as well. It‘s a feat that puts her above the rest.
Hey Joanna... I’m making you look good here ha, so no pressure but you better not fail me now :)

Always and forever will be ...
"Daddy’s Little Girl" !
Now ... about my dear John

If Joanna seems to be the FIRE, then JOHN BENEDICT, hands down, would certainly be the ICE in our family’s fervent life. Even as a child tahimik lang ‘yan. But through his own cool and subtle manner he gets things done. He’s not the type na makikigulo pa just to get attention. Instead he would quietly observe and just do his part if a situation calls for it. Not that he doesn’t care, it’s just his nature. And my wife and I totally respect and appreciate that. Ang sabi ko nga kay Misis, after going through our daughter’s yearly “exciting” antics, what we need is a break from it all and John would, unknowingly, provide that. Also, his love and loyalty to his sister had been time and again tried and tested and has never wavered a bit.

What we always keep telling our kids nga eh is after everything else fails, at the end of the day, you have no one else to turn to but your family. And we’re happy that they seem to realize the importance and are beginning to live by the principles naman.
