Expo Mom: The Journey is What Matters Most

Motherhood is indeed a journey, and at Expo Mom, moms shared just how fulfilling, exciting, nerve-wracking, and life-changing this journey can be.
At Expo Mom: The Motherhood Journey, every stage of motherhood was celebrated. On stage, model moms Patty Laurel and Nicole Hernandez showed just how excited they were about being mothers, sharing the many joys and challenges they’ve encountered. On the floor, mompreneurs touched base with their fellow moms, exchanging anecdotes and experiences with their fellow moms.

On its ninth year, Expo Mom remains fresh and relevant by supporting the needs of moms at every turn. It has stayed true to its vision of being the source of parenting trends and information, the wellspring of modern mommy products and services, and the launch pad for exciting campaigns, inspiring advocacies, and groundbreaking ideas.

The two-day event, which was co-presented by Caltrate Plus, Pampers, and Belo Baby and supported by Sun Life with Celebrity Mom and Crossover as media sponsors, Glorietta and Ayala Malls as venue sponsors, and Creative Juice Communications as logistics partner, was packed with a lineup of educationally enticing activities.

Alpabasa gave moms tips on how to teach their children to read in Filipino. Paola Loot of Mommy Treats taught moms how to make healthy meals. Michelle Adrillana of Flavors on Fire showed moms how to cook delicious dishes.
