"My Husband, My Hero": Father's Day Story by Goldilocks


Our Fathers play many roles in our lives. He is our friend, confidant, protector and constant moral support. Because of this, our dads will forever hold a special place in our hearts. 



For Army Reservist Rolan King J. Tiongson, working during the COVID-19 Pandemic as a Frontliner, means that he has to divide his time equally between his family and his job. 


“He always reports to duty from Monday to Saturday but makes sure Sunday is family time. He also cooks us dinner whenever he gets home from duty.” Rosemarie, Rolan’s wife, explains.
When asked to describe her husband, Rosemarie jokingly said 
"My husband is strict but very loving and caring. Before the pandemic, our bonding would be to go to church then the mall. On occasions, we would even go out of town."
“I consider him a blessing to us; he is such a great father and husband. He always puts his family first."

Goldilocks, the country's number one bakeshop, sees the sacrifice that fathers like Rolan are making every day. 

To honor their sacrifice, they are surprising fathers like him with a special Premium Chocolate Mousse Cake made especially for Father's Day.

Goldilocks is celebrating Father's Day for the whole month of June because our Dads deserve more than just a day of celebration for their love and care. With the desire to celebrate hardworking Frontliners like Rolan King Tiongson and his family, Goldilocks will be sending cakes to deserving families throughout the month.
