Mom Spotlight

 

Mom Spotlight

Mom Spotlight is a series of mom features of different women who are first and foremost moms, but never forgot who they are as a person. These are moms from different situations, wearing different hats, and coming from different parts of the country, who inspire many to reach for their dreams and pursue their passions even when they’ve already become mothers.

Motherhood should not stop a woman in achieving many things. Motherhood should be a spark to better oneself as a mother and become her life’s compass in becoming whoever she once dreamed or aspired to be. The moms on Mom Spotlight shares their unique stories about motherhood, their inspiring experiences to the road of success, how important having a support system is, and their tips and advice to mothers who also hope to one day, be able to pursue their passions and turn their goals into reality.

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.

His mother, Filipina artist Pamela Gotangco Hupp also felt her heart swell. At last! A birthday present she was certain he loved.
