Happy Father’s Day Papa! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 You are best dad I could ever pray for! You have provided more than enough for your family and are still being our ongoing guidance. I love you and I miss you so much. ❤️ #

I miss you so much Papang ko! Now, around the same time last year, my pain is still as raw and debilitating. 💔 Despite it, somehow, taught me how to appreciate the genuineness of all the people who took time and effort to see you, take care of you and extended any help they could provide in their power during your fighting days and after. My utmost gratitude is with of them who showed authentic love and support to you, Papa. I will never forget their names. 🙏🏼

I love you Mama! ❤️ You’re the best! I hope to hug and kiss you soon!

I love you so much Papa! Happy 69th Birthday! ❤️

As I check my calendar now, I realized that today is the 2nd month that I have been living without you papa. I have desperately tried to drown myself in work to forget, but I still can’t help but burst into tears the second this thought comes to mind. I miss you so so much papang ko! 😭💔

It pains us so much to go through this day without celebrating it with you. It hurts to no longer be able to greet you, hug you and kiss you on your special day, papa. 💔 It will take a tremendous amount of “getting used to”, and some time before everything sinks in, but thank God our family has been grounded on fervent love, strong will, and faith. We will remain steadfast whatever comes our way. Thank you for guiding us all into the right direction, papa!
Still, it’s your day! So we still want to say Happy Father’s Day to you, papa Mario! And also Happy Father’s Day to a new father in the family, manong Marlon!

It’s been a month today. 😔 How I wish I could still hug you and hold your hand today. I miss you so much, Papa! 🫂

I love you Papa Mario Artajos! ❤️
Lumaban ka, lumaban kami, hanggang sa huli. “Until my last breath” sabi mo nga nun sa akin. Pero alam po naming pagod na pagod ka na Pa. Pahinga ka na Papa ko. Mamimiss ko po ang mga malulutong mong tawa, daddy jokes, karaoke sessions at marami pang iba!
Natapos mo na ang iyong takbuhin.
Magkikita ulit tayo sa Bayang Banal.

We didn’t get to choose where life planted us. It is our choice, however, how well we bloom. 🌈 💐

Only you can fly yourself to the exact place you want to be. ✈️ Take that risk. Take that leap. Don’t live in “what if’s”.

Girl, continue taking up space. Your voice is valid! 👊🏻
Happy Women’s month! 👩
