The Great Men

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM PAPA?

MARTY

Natutunan ko ke papa ang kahalagahan ng edukasyon. Istrikto yan pagdating sa pag-aaral naming magkakapatid. Laging pinapaalala na yan magdadala sa amin sa magandang buhay. Sa kanya ko rin natutunan paano kumayod para sa kanyang pamilya. Wala na akong alam na ibang tao na kayang buhayin at pag-aralin sa magagandang eskwelahan ang anim na anak. Mainitin ang ulo pero me ginintuang puso.

Ang hindi ko makakalimutan ay noong bata pa ako ay madalas akong magpunta sa bukid kasama ng mga kaibigan ko. Madalas doon ay nangunguha kami ng mga “pakwan” ng hindi sa amin. Masarap at masaya sa pakiramdam ko noon: Masaya dahil ang daming pakwan sa bukid na pwede naming kunin at masarap dahil kung paano namin ito buksan at kainin - binabagsak namin ito sa lupa at tsaka namin kakainin ang wasak na pakwan; walang kasing sarap kumain ng sariwang pakwan. Sa kabila ng aking kagalakan, lingid sa kaalaman ko ang kalubhaan ng aking nagawa. Araw-araw nangunguha kami ng pakwan, hanggang sa nahuli na kami ng may-ari. Hindi ko inaasahan na ang may-ari ng pakwan ay nakilala ako dahil kilala niya pala si Papa. Akala ko noon ay OK na dahil pinauwi na ako ng may-ari noon, pero sumunod pala sa bahay ang may-ari ng pakwan at kinausap si Papa para magsumbong. Nang makaalis na ang may-ari ng pakwan ay tinawag ako ni Papa. Pinalo ako ni Papa ng sinturon ng ilang beses at pinalabas ng bahay.. Alam ko na sa sarili ko na malala ang nagawa ko. Simula noon ay hindi na ako nanguha ng pakwan sa bukid. Pero favorite ko parin kainin ang pakwan dahil naaalala ko ito sa tuwing kumakain ako ng pakwan. J

Even though we seldom talk or have a quality time together, Papa, I learned things from you and you gave me plenty.. I was able to grow up staring at your back, Papa.. Thank you and Happy Father’s day, Papa! J

Mama brought me to life; Papa provided me this kind of life.

Without Papa, I wouldn't have fully appreciated the importance of education. Because of him, I have believed that the real aristocracy is aristocracy in intellect. Because of him, I am the person that I am right now. Whatever happens, I will always follow his lead, will always follow into his footsteps, will always follow the leader of the band.

Papa always reminds us of how important morals and education are. We are disciplined in a traditional way and we value education as much as our future depends on it. But papa doesn't just remind us of these, he shows us and he serves as our example.

I believe behind every success you achieve is your desire for us to follow your footsteps, and for that I promise I will be as great as you are. And if you demand something greater, I will try harder. I am glad and proud that I am your daughter, pa. I am very lucky that you love me this much, and I love you more than you think. I always try to give my best in the things I do because I love hearing you say "naglaing ti annakon." To make you proud is always my goal. Thank you for everything! You already are the best lawyer, professor, president, commissioner, governor, but you are better as a father. Happy father's day pa! I love you!

Si papa ang pinaka "the best" na papa kasi tinuruan niya ako kung paano maging chik boy! At pati na rin sa mga jokes niya, natutunan ko rin yun. Haha! Seriously, papa is simply the best because i learned a lot from him. He taught me how to discipline myself, and that made me a better man. Pero ang pinaka importante sa lahat ng natutunan ko sa kanya ay ang pagmamahal niya sa amin mga anak niya, ginagawa niya lahat para maging masaya kami, at parati syang nandyan para tulungan kami. Everyday i always think of what my papa taught me and as my life goes on i will never ever forget what i learned from the best father. Happy father’s day pa!

You mean everything to me and I thank you for coming to my life. I'm so grateful and blessed for your undying love and care, and for the support and hardwork you’ve done for me and for our family despite all the ups and down we've encountered. Thank God we are still one. Happy Father's Day! I always love you!

WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT CHINKOY?

MARTY

Hanga ako kung paano niya patakbuhin ang pamilya. Simple at tahimik na tao pero pursigido at determinado.

Ang bagay na hindi natin masusuklian kay Kuya Chinkoy ay binigyan tayo ng constant source of overflowing and infinite joy - sina Zalo Boy at Iggy Boy. Forever yang tatatak sa puso't isipan natin.

Isama mo pa yung fact na napakabait, hinahon, masayahin at appreciative ni Kuya sa atin, kahit sa mga maliliit lang na bagay.

Kuya, tandaan mo na laging nasa likod mo lang kami, sa hirap at ginhawa!

Kuya thank you for always understanding, Thank you for all the great advice and the never ending support. You’re the man talaga! Happy father’s day! #thenorthremembers

Kuya Chinkoy, I've seen how much you've changed since you became a father and it makes me feel proud that you are doing great. You are responsible and hardworking and you love your family dearly. Thank you for bringing happiness in the family through Zalo and Iggy.

As Tyrion said, "[n]ever forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you."
