As the Bb. Pilipinas 2016 Queens report for a very unholy call time this morning (actually, even before the sun rises) for the Zumba and Belly-Dancing sessions at the Gateway Foodpark, allow me to greet all the mothers and “mothers” out there. Today is your special occasion where relaxation and pampering are the orders of the day. I would assume that your children have prepared something special for you – a bouquet of fresh flowers to start it off? Then, a hearty lunch inside one of the malls where you don’t have to worry about footing the bill? And why not cap it off with a slice of the DQ (Dairy Queen) ice cream cake just to cool off your tired body and feet amidst this really hot and humid weather we are all in right now?
