My Father the Great

Daddy,

Happy Father's Day! Thank you so much for taking great care of me and Rye..

For wonderful childhood memories..
trips to Luneta to see the fishes at pakainin ng fish cracker, tampisaw in Manila Bay when it was still clean and scaring the sea ipis away, strolls to the grocery and buying chichirya, watching Rambo, teaching the value of reading, your yummy sinangag every single morning, hatid sundo until 2nd year highschool, hatid even today sa guard house on my way to work, being with me during auditions, waiting while I took college entrance exams, not saying anything when you disapproved of my exs..because you let me decide on my own. Never ko naexperienced mapalo at all. Hindi ka din sumigaw at all. Where you get the patience and the will, hindi ko alam. Hindi ka ata tao. Alien! Constant. Strong. Supportive. Humble.

Thank you for teaching Rye to speak English hehehe. Thank you for being there. I'm gonna miss you when you go to the US of A.

Pero Hershey's lang katapat ok na ko. :p
