Patricia Alquisalas: Quality Time Matters

Patricia Alquisalas emphasized the importance of spending time with her child despite her busy schedule as a teacher. "Bonding with my son Kobe relieves the fatigue from work," she said.

Samantha Delos Angeles: Gentle Discipline

Samantha Delos Angeles agreed that spending time with children is key to guiding their proper growth. Together with her husband Carl John, they use a gentle approach to discipline their daughter Bernette by teaching her what is right and wrong.

Danica Shane Tanjay: Cherishing Every Moment

Danica Shane Tanjay expressed joy in her first moments of holding her son Islo. For her, every moment of care—such as cuddling, preparing milk, and singing to sleep—should be treasured, especially since children grow up so fast. She also advised new mothers like herself to take care of themselves through adequate rest and proper nutrition.

Although their experiences as mothers differ, they are united in one goal: to provide unconditional love and a strong foundation for their children, which strengthens each mother in their daily struggles.
