Mom Spotlight: Mika Lagdameo-Martinez
Beautiful, eloquent, and funny, anyone looking at Mika Lagdameo-Martinez’s Instagram profile would never guess she had a fear of public speaking. In a move that undoubtedly is one of the many reasons so many follow her online, Mika took that fear and turned it into triumph, by launching her show Saturday Night Life.
Mom Spotlight: Sara Black

Mom Spotlight: Pamela Gotangco Hupp
On November 11, 2020 a just-turned eight-year-old boy received the most unique present: a kettcar freshly clad in carefully constructed cardboard boxes to make it look like an F1 racing car. Not just any F1 racing car, but the 2014 Red Bull car driven by Sebastian Vettel. Maximilian Aurich Hupp was so overwhelmed, he closed his eyes, characteristic of some with Autism Spectrum Disorder. His mother, Filipina artist Pamela Gotangco Hupp also felt her heart swell. At last! A birthday present she was certain he loved.
Mom Spotlight: Maria Perrine
Homemade. Homegrown. Homestead. These are the words written under Maria Dolonius Perrine’s own name on her blog, Maria Perrine. In the past two and a half months, Perrine has quickly become a household name in the Philippines, now regarded as a guru of baking, artisan products, and farm living. But it wasn’t always so for the former GMA talent, whose journey started ten years ago with simple showbiz burnout.
Mom Spotlight: Gellina Suderio, MD.
Overcoming fears is a challenge every person faces at least once in their lifetimes. For many of the frontliners of the Novel CoronaVirus, or COVID-19, it is a daily occurrence. Everyday, doctors are waking up with fear–fear for themselves, fear for their patients, fear for their families, fear for the world–and everyday they overcome those fears and get to work.
Mom Spotlight: Abigail Zaraspe, MD.
In the fight against COVID-19, however, frontliners find that seeking that balance is harder than ever because their work now has direct–and potentially dire–consequences to their life.
Despite the seriousness of this, however, Dr. Abigail Zaraspe, who practices Internal Medicine-Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at the Makati Medical Center, manages to keep things light.
