Regal Entertainment, Inc. is coming up with a Mother's Day offering this May, "My 2 Mommies" directed by Eric Quizon, mainly stars Paolo Ballesteros, Solenn Heussaff and Maricel Soriano.

"My 2 Mommies"  (l-R) Paolo Ballesteros, Marcus Cabais, Mother Lily Monteverde and Eric Quizon during the bloggers conference held at Valencia's Place, May 4, 2018. 

My 2 Mommies honors all the mothers out there, whether they are biological mothers or mothers at heart, a touching movie that celebrates motherhood and aims to show that more than the gender, being a mother is all about a parent's unconditional love for to the child.

Paolo said that this movie, shows a different kind of mother. He pointed out that motherhood is not bound by biological attachment, and cited some women who assumed the “mother roles” to children even if they are not the ones who gave birth to them.

“   In My 2 Mommies, an accidental affair that leads to an extraordinary story of not-your-typical family set up, Heussaff and Ballesteros play mother to the same kid. My 2 Mommies tells a heartwarming story of Manu, a discreet gay guy, with a successful career but is not out to his family. Furthermore, he is in a same-sex relationship that he also keeps under the radar. But his life takes a pivotal turn when Monique, a woman from Manu’s his past, shows up one day and admits to him that they have a seven-year-old son.Is Manu prepared to reveal his kid that his dad is also a “mommy” and confess his true identity? Is Manu ready for the responsibilities of parenthood and raise his son in an unconventional way? ”

Eric Quizon, an actor, director, producer and a writer, also continues to work with Regal, serving as a member of their Creative Team.

Director Eric Quizon said that the premise of the movie has been existing for a long time but it is only now that people are warming up to the idea.

Quizon said this movie is “relatable” and “timely.” Though it can be considered an unconventional set-up, they believe that the story, at its core, is about a parent’s unconditional love for his child.

My 2 Mommies top-billed by Paolo Ballesteros, Solenn Heussaff and Maricel Soriano opens in cinemas on May 9. It also stars Joem Bascon, Diane Medina, Marcus Cabais, Debraliz, Mich Liggayu, Billy Ray Gallion and more.

Create the most meaningful connection this Mother’s Day - PLDT Home encourages all to #ConnectForReal with their moms

Tweet

It’s no question that moms are a constant figure in our lives, giving us unconditional love and support for everything we do. Because of this, some tend to neglect the need to express their love and appreciation for their moms, as they assume that it goes without saying. But what everyone should be reminded of is that love unexpressed is love unfelt.

On Mother’s Day, the day which asks the world to look past their busy schedules and honor their mothers, PLDT Home spearheads #ConnectForReal, a movement that encourages everyone to truly express their love even beyond the usual sweet Facebook greetings. 

Real connections can come from the simplest of conversations, gestures, bonding moments and traditions. Some may rely on social media posts and messages to develop interactions and nurture relationships, but nothing beats those #ConnectForReal moments with mom, proving that the strongest connections are truly at home.

A mother’s holiday

Tweet

Mother’s Day is a time for people to thank their moms for their never-ending sacrifices for the family. After all, they assume different roles round-the-clock just to make our lives comfortable – a chef to prepare our meals every day, a doctor to tend to us when we are sick, a teacher to help us with school work and life problems, a CEO of the household, our protector to make sure we are always safe, and so many more! 

In celebration of Mother’s Day, Solane, the leading provider of LPG solutions, reminds everyone to show their love and appreciation to the woman who ceaselessly devotes herself to the family. This occasion is another moment that falls in perfectly with Solane’s Dapat Lang campaign, a program that emphasizes the importance of doing the right thing, for the family, for others and society as a whole.

And so for their continuous sacrifice, dapat lang we honor and make them feel special, and we can definitely do so through these five simple heartwarming deeds:

Cook breakfast for mom. Mothers are usually the first ones to wake up early to prepare meals and baon for the kids. This time around, let mom sleep a little longer and prepare her favorite breakfast food. Make it even more special and let her have breakfast in bed. Not only will mom admire the gesture, but it’s also guaranteed to be a good kick-start to Mother’s Day.

Let our mom enjoy a work-free day. Being head of the household means overseeing if the house is clean, ensuring the pantry is stocked with food, and cooking food for the family. Without a doubt, it can get tiring for our moms. On Mother’s Day, help her by volunteering to do the household chores and let her sit back and relax.

Spend time together. Set aside all other plans and enjoy the rest of the day with mom. Gather the whole family together and celebrate an adventure-filled day like a picnic in the park, outdoor barbecue, a hike or swim, or an out-of-town trip. This will definitely make mom feel special!

Pamper our mom. This is the perfect time to make our mothers feel like queens for a day. After all the chores she’s been doing, treat her to a quick session of mani-pedi, an hour worth of massage, or even something as simple as putting cucumber slices on her face for an affordable at-home facial that will immediately make her feel like royalty.

Surprise mom with a simple gift. Celebrating Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be grand or expensive. Simple gestures like making a hand-made card with a short but sweet message, offering a long-stemmed rose, or baking a cake will surely warm her heart. As they say, it’s the thought that counts!

So go ahead and try these simple tips. Not only will your mom feel loved, but it will also make your bond even stronger. Dapat lang!
