Play time with Daddy: Sir Marco and hisย daughterย Amandaย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย

When in Manilaโ€ฆ we call our father Tatay , Ama, Itay, and in other countries its Vader, Pere, Papa, Apa, Dad, ฮ ฮฑฯ„ฮญฯฮฑฯ‚ Pateras.

ย 

Itย doesn’t matter how you call them, it all comes down to one thing. Theyโ€™re the man in our lives who are irreplaceable.

ย 

I think Fatherโ€™s are like durian, no matter how tough they appear outside theyโ€™re soft and sweet in the inside. Most of us will agree that our father

ย 

has helped and guided us to become better individuals. We think that at times theyโ€™re so hard to please but in reality, theyโ€™re boasting about you

ย 

with their friends. Our father may have handled parenting differently, some are very controlling, some just let the mother do the lecturing, some

ย 

were just loose, and some treat you as if youโ€™re friends. But for me, my dad is someone I know I could depend on, someone I know whoโ€™ll watch over

ย 

me.,someone I could cry on, when my heart gets broken or when things donโ€™t go as I would have wanted or expected. Heโ€™s someone that I know I can

ย 

laugh and share my deepest thoughts with. Last but not the least heโ€™ll always be that โ€œsomeoneโ€ who loves me unconditionally.

ย 

ย 

For this coming fatherโ€™s day I ask my friends to share their fondest memory and the things they love the most about their father.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Kyla (from Laoag) says: I enjoy cooking with him. He gets mad whenever I don’t eat. He knows how to be friends with my friends. Ang cool

ย 

lang.hehehe He worries big time when I’m sick. I will never forget the day when he cried after a friend of mine asked his permission to court me.

ย 

He cried because he didn’t want me to get hurt anymore. ayun. i will never ever forget that day. he went into my room after the talk den he sat and

ย 

talked to me. I just cried din when i saw him wiping his tears. I love my papikes sooo much.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Clars (from PWU) says: My dad is the gentlest, kindest, sweetest and the most emphatic man for me, and every moment I spent with him made me

ย 

a better person

Ms.ย Roselynย  with her beloved Tatayย 

ย 

ย 

Roselyn Cee(from Pagasinan) says :

ย 

Together with my mom, they have made all the difference in my life with their unfathomable love.

ย 

My mom has worked abroad since I was about to turn 3 years old and so we (I and my brother) were left with my father and grandparents. ย  ย 

ย 

He hasย been a mom and dad at the same time and you canโ€™t see any trace of tiredness or exhaustion from him doing two โ€œdeadlyโ€ roles

ย 

simultaneously . Heโ€™s ย always been very patient with us. He is a disciplinarian, yes, but never authoritarian.

ย 

If I may say it in one word, I like โ€œeverythingโ€ about him as a father. There isnโ€™t any language comparable to how greatly I admire him as a dad: my

ย 

idol.

Patz with her amazing Dadย 

ย 

ย 

Pats (from US) says: Fondest memory with him is actually everyday naman, especially nung nandyan ako. Hatid-sundo sa school morning

ย 

talks, pinagshoshopping niya ko kahit alam niyang ang mamahal ng bibilhin ko. Uhm, Pag nabili niya na yun gusto ko, he would ask out of

ย 

nowhere, masaya ka ate? and he smiles when I say yes, for me that means he is happy when he sees me happy.

ย 

ย 

ย 

Tom (from Townsville) saysย : I think my fondest memory would be going fishing with him. I like that he is strong willed and always does whatโ€™s best for

ย 

the family.

ย Ryan with his cool Dadย 

ย 

ย 

Ryan (from Georgia) says: I think one of my best memories, or the one that first comes to mind, is one day me and my father were picking

ย 

blackberries:)

ย 

He was going to make a cobbler. I was a young kid still (5 or 6), but we were kind of talking about life in my understanding of it, how I should treat

ย 

people, girls, etc. I asked him if someone asked me for a blackberry and there was one that I could just reach out and pick off the bush, but they

ย 

wanted one farther in surrounded byย thornsย if I walk through the thornes get it, and he said “yes, if you can, do the best you can for people.” So I

ย 

ย 

kind of modeled my life after that day. Its a good memory I have of spending time with him.

Ryan and his cool Dadย 

ย 

Teo(from Greece) says: My father (John) from my first steps is so close to me.. He’s like a father/bestfriend. he knows everything for me.

ย 

We are both same. i’m a copy of him. he’s so cool. my best memory of him is everyday he’s breathing near to me, everyday making me laugh and

ย 

everyday he show me how much proud he’s for me. i never did something really bad to make him sad this is the most i can do for him.. after 27 years

ย 

relationship father’s/ son we have the first problem. health’s problem. NOTHING can keep us away. As close as we are i’ll never let happen

ย 

anything. i’m near to you. You gave me everything i wanted as a son and much more. I love you father. Happy father’s dayย

ย 

The greatest gift we could give this coming fatherโ€™s day is not the extravagant gifts we can buy for them but the appreciation, love and respect

ย 

for the man who helped shape our world.

ย 

So When in Manila or in other parts of the world… whether you’ll soon to be a dad or a grandfather…to all the special men in my life :Ace, Xave,

ย 

Kuya Dj, Kuya Brian, and to my dearest Papa, Happy fathers day!

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย Don’t forget to make him coffee, breakfast in bed is also great ๐Ÿ™‚ย
