Several celebrity moms took to social media last Sunday, May 11, to share touching messages and realizations as they celebrated Mother’s Day with their families. Here's how some of them marked the special occasion:

Judy Ann Santos

Kapamilya star Judy Ann Santos enjoyed a double celebration for her birthday and Mother’s Day. On Instagram, she shared candid photos from a simple yet joyful gathering with family and close friends.

“Celebrated my bday and mother’s day, just the way i like it. Simple, masaya lang, wala masyadong abala maliban sa sandamakmak na flowers and cakes na nagpaligaya ng husto sa akin. Hanggang ngayon mistulang flower shop ang bahay namin. 🤭,” she wrote in a post.

Judy Ann thanked everyone who remembered her special day, expressing, “Thank you to everyone who remembered.. ❤️❤️ ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagmamahal nyong lahat. Thank you Lord for another year full of blessings and love. 🙏🏼🙏🏼.”

Angelica Panganiban 

Angelica Panganiban penned a heartfelt message to her daughter, Bean, calling her the “best teacher” of her life.

“I only get to discipline you, guide you and shower you with my unconditional love. Dahil ang totoo, ikaw ang best teacher ng buhay ko. Tinuro mo sa'kin paano pabagalin ang bilis ng takbo ng buhay. Pano pahabain ang pasensiya kapag araw araw na lang nauubos. Paano hanapin ang kindness sa bawat pagsubok. Paano ngumiti kahit mahirap,” Angelica lovingly expressed.

The actress then noted how her daughter is the reason she was able to celebrate Mother’s Day.

“Dahil sa'yo, I get to celebrate Mother’s Day. Dahil sa'yo, narinig ko ang pinaka masarap na pangalan na pinangarap ko, dahil sa'yo, ako na si mommy, mama, at mom. Thank you for making me one. I love you bubs 🐰 Happy Mother’s Day sa lahat ng Ina.,” she greeted.

Iza Calzado

Actress Iza Calzado reflected on motherhood as her “most cherished and favorite role,” calling her daughter Deia her greatest teacher.

“It’s been the most challenging, yet also the most rewarding journey I’ve ever been on. Every day, I grow, I learn, I love—deeply. And Deia, my sweet girl, you’ve been my greatest teacher. What a blessing it is to be your mama. Truly, the honor of a lifetime,” Iza wrote.

She also honored all forms of motherhood: “Today, I celebrate all the forms of motherhood—the quiet strength, the tender care, the fierce love that lives in each of us. You don’t have to give birth to embody a mother’s heart. To nurture, to guide, to hold space for others—that is the magic of motherhood, too.”

She also expressed appreciation to all who supported her on her motherhood journey: “To those who continue to mother me and lift me up so I can pour into Deia—thank you. I feel you; I honor you. Happy Mother’s Day to every soul who loves with a mother’s heart. The world is better because of you. 🤗💐.”

“Always remember that no matter what life brings, as long as we have each other, we can overcome anything. ❤️ I love you both so much. 😘 Come home na! 🏡,” she added.

She also greeted fellow moms who celebrated Mother's Day, “To all the moms who love unconditionally, who have given their hearts and souls in sacrifice for their families—I honor you. Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love, joy, and the recognition you truly deserve. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! 🌺🌸💐”
