i was sent this pic of my dad by @chefjaclaudico... took a pic of bimb then showed him, “bimb, this is a preview of how you’ll look at 17 or 18 when the cute baby cheeks are gone...” goosebumps moment for me because bimb’s hairline, his nose, eyebrows, lips, the way his eyes shine when he smiles, and even the shape of his face are so much like his lolo Ninoy’s... Speaking of my dad, to clarify HINDI po naging issue sa family where our his statue would be relocated. Ate had messaged all of us after Mayor Joy Belmonte had communicated with her that MMDA had requested a change of venue. 2 options were given, Parks & Wildlife or the area near Trinoma/Vertis North where @iloveayalamalls is doing a lot of expansions. Hindi po issue na Noy chose DENR’s Parks & Wildlife and i wanted the mall development area... obvious naman na magkaiba talaga kami, and clear din na we practice freedom of choice in our family. My vote had gone to the area nearer malls because i had felt mas mataas ang “foot traffic” and more of our youth would see my dad’s likeness on a regular basis and maybe have some curiosity about Ninoy Aquino & his contribution to Philippine democracy as we know it today. Hindi naman secret sa inyo, rebuilding our relationship as brother and sister remains a work in progress for us BUT hindi ibig sabihin na wala na kong pagmamahal at respeto sa “kuya” ko na naging napaka mahalagang bahagi ng magandang pagpapalaki ko kay kuya josh. So kung trip nyong gawing teleserye ang buhay pamilya namin, ma bo-bored lang kayo kasi walang matinding di pagkakaunawaan na nagaganap. Hindi ko rin kayo pa-plasticin at sasabihan na very close kami, we’re not- last time kaming nagkita was more than 4 months ago. But really? Location ng statue ng dad namin ang gustong gamitin na issue to widen our gap? Trust me we’ve had more disagreements of substance than that. It’s just that we respect our mom’s memory so much that whatever differences we may have, we choose to keep them private in the hope that TIME will help heal & resolve all of them. #familyfirst 💛
