Of all the
gifts that life has to offer, a loving mother is the greatest of them all.
We’ve said so much
about our moms, but mere words are not enough to show them and make them
realize that they matter to us. After all, they have carried us into their wombs
for nine months, have since then loved us unconditionally, and it is only right
to show them how special they are especially this month of May- as we celebrate
Mother’s Day with SM Supermalls.
At the recent media
launch for SM Supermalls #NationalSuperMomsDay2018 held at Gringo in MOA last
May 11, the event highlights the importance of mothers through the heartfelt stories
and lessons shared by celebrity guests. It is also a venue that will launch SM
Supermalls exclusive deals and promos for moms wherein families can share and celebrate.
The event is unlike
any ordinary event since it is very personal as the subject of motherhood is
being tackled by the guests. Present that afternoon are Princess Velasco,
Chynna Ortaleza-Cipriano, and beautiful mom and daughter tandem Sandy Andolong
and Bb. Pilipinas-International 2017 Mariel de Leon.
As what Mr. Jonjon
San Agustin- SM Supermalls Senior Vice President for Marketing
just said, during the opening remarks- mothers are truly special. As a family-oriented
mall, SM is geared towards bringing families together on special occasions. “We
want to make this year’s National SuperMoms Day celebration at SM more
memorable with awesome experiences and deals for all the strong, hardworking,
and loving moms out there.” Mr. San Agustin further added.
How
to become a super mom? What is a Super Mom?
The pretty host just
asked- what is a super mom? At the question and answer portion wherein,
celebrity super mom guests were asked very personal questions about motherhood.
Each guest gave a heartfelt answer:
Chynna
Ortaleza-Cipriano- “Every mother is a super mom. Iba-iba
ang atin pinagdadaanan, iba-iba ang ating paraan kung paano tayo nagiging nanay…If
a mom is able to take care of herself, have a good career and have a good
relationship with her husband and take care of her child- yun yon- super hero
ka para sa akin,”

Princess
Velasco- “overcoming yourself parang surprising yourself
na ganito pala kaya ko. Yung puso mo lumalaki yung energy humahaba ng slight, yung
pasensiya mo lalo ng natetest- love is patient. It is really true… so that’s
what makes us super moms making seemingly impossible things possible…”

Sandy
Andolong de Leon- Parenting styles raising 5 kids
“I am more the lenient one, my husband is the
very strict one (referring to actor Christopher de Leon). “hit and miss thing-
motherhood.. with us we learn from our mothers how to take care of our children…3
healthy things- first physical and mental, then emotional, and relationship wise,
in terms of your relationship with your husband. If children, see how much you
love each other and honor each other it goes without saying the child will grow
up feeling confident and knowing that he or she has a good family. Then also
spiritual is very important you instill or places in your children the
importance of God is in their lives….

Mariel
de Leon- talks about her mom as a super mom
Being a super kid of
a super mom- what’s your favorite childhood memory? “she is really a super mom…I
remember when we were small with my siblings, they will take us all to
Disneyland all five kids without yayas, just my mom and dad- I can’t imagine
that..”
Mariel then mentions
her brother- “few years ago my brother was diagnosed with cancer- she was
flying back and forth. She showed us how to be strong for our family, for our
brother… not only that (very emotional) during that time she was dealing with
her kidney transplant (mom looks over pat her) yeah health problems. And then
she just showed us, to my siblings how strong she is- not only physically but
also mentally and emotionally. And what motivates her I think is her love for
us…. (how’s your brother?) he is cancer free now.
Sandy
Andolong inspiring phrase- “you become really selfless
when you become a mother. It’s all about your children, your husband and your
family. You put their happiness first before your family first.”
