because Mom was scheduled to come back to another country for work.

A few months later, Dad followed.

Mom came back to the Philippines after six months because she and Dad wanted me to be born here in the Philippines.

See the picture on the right? Yap! That's Mom and Dad on the day when Mom left work for Philippines. I was around six months inside her womb.

Dad and some of Mom's friend came with Mom to the airport where they also met my Lolo Virgilio.

So here I am now with Mom a few days after I was born.

I was born at around 6:45 AM on the 15th of December 2000, in the hospital of San Carlos, Pangasinan.

Dad was at the public market that night when he received an SMS in his mobile from Tita Juvy telling him that Mom is already experiencing shildbirth pain.

In Dad's excitement, he replied at once asking about the status. Dad also had informed Lolo Boy, Lolo Virgilio, Lolo Bobet, Lola Daisy, Ninong Cris, Ninang Christine, Ninong Jomari and Ninang Sally, even asking for prayer for my safe delivery.

And glory to God! I was delivered safe and sound!
