Mothers always have a special place in everyone's heart. They are every child's major supporter, confidante and superhero. They make sacrifices for us and love us without asking anything in return.
Mothers are God's gift to all of us and we at The Standard Life know how to treat these one-of-a-kind ladies.
Last May 20, we treated three special moms who won our Mother's Day special contest to a sumptuous lunch (or dinner, whichever their choice is) at New World Manila Bay, a relaxing Oxygen Infusion facial treatment at Vietura Aesthetic Lifestyle in Sofitel Philippine Plaza, and a lovely Michelis jewelry item that signifies their exceptional role in the lives of those close to them.
The moms were all smiles and felt really special and pampered while enjoying the treats they received, thanks to their loving children who sent in pics and stories explaining why they think their mom is the best.
Moms Julie Endoso, Cynthia Feliciano and Nellie Reyes Guevarra were nominated by their respective daughters who shared to the world the things that make their moms special via Facebook and Instagram posts using the hashtag #CelebrateLIFEwithMom.
For Jirah Endoso, her mom Julie is special because "she always thinks of others before herself.” Eillen Jayne, on the other hand, says that her mother Nellie is “the original Superwoman” because she takes on the roles of mother, father, sister, friend, mentor, teacher, student, supervisor, nurse and grandmother. Through a heartfelt post on Instagram, Diane Cruz recounts how, despite going through—and conquering—cancer, her mom Cynthia “has always managed to stay strong for me and my dad.”
