From sweet messages to throwback posts: How local stars honor their moms, wives on Mother's Day
Mother's Day 2025 became a heartfelt celebration on social media as local celebrities poured out their love and appreciation through touching tributes to the most important women in their lives—their moms.
From throwback photos to emotional dedications, these stars reminded us that behind every successful personality is a strong and loving mother.
Here's how your favorite local celebs marked the occasion with sweet words and even sweeter moments:
Dingdong Dantes

Dingdong Dantes expressed deep love and appreciation for Marian Rivera, acknowledging her constant devotion and sacrifice, even when she should be the one receiving care.
"Sa halip na siya ang pagsilbihan sa araw na ito, siya pa ang nagpumilit magluto ng paborito naming menudo," Dingdong wrote on Instagram alongside photos of her children, Zia and Sixto hugging Marian.
"Sino ba naman ang hindi mapapahinga nang malalim sa bango pa lang, sabay sabing, 'Ay, eto na nga ang original ni Ingkang.' Ang tagal na naming hindi natikman ’to—kaya bawat halo niya sa kaldero, parang yakap na abot hanggang puso’t bituka mo. Happy Mother’s Day sa reyna ng aming tahanan—kahit araw niya, inuuna pa rin kaming alagaan," the actor added.
Isabel Daza
Isabel Daza opted for a playful, cheeky, yet affectionate tribute to her mom, Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz.
On Instagram, she posted the "Suspect, suspect" social media trend she participated in last year, but hesitated to post because it felt too provocative. Now, on Mother's Day, decided it's the perfect time to share, possibly as an inside joke or contrast to typical wholesome Mother's Day tributes.
Chie Filomeno

Kapamilya actress Chie Filomeno, on the other hand, uploaded some throwback photos of her mom, saying that her beauty, style, grace, or maybe even her dance moves were inherited from her.
"Got it from my mama. Happy Mother's Day, mommy! I love you so much po," she wrote.
Angelica Panganiban

Meanwhile, Angelica Panganiban reflected on her motherhood journey to Amila Sabine Homan.
She wrote a deeply emotional and heartfelt tribute from a mother to her child. For her, while it may seem that she is the one teaching, guiding, and loving the child, Angelica reveals a deeper truth: Amila has actually become her greatest teacher in 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 sakin pano pabagalin ang bilis ng takbo ng buhay. Pano pahabain ang pasensya kapag araw araw na lang nauubos. Paano hanapin ang kindness sa bawat pag subok. Paano ngumiti kahit mahirap. Dahil sayo, i get to celebrate mother’s day. Dahil sayo, narinig ko ang pinaka masarap na pangalan na pinangarap ko, dahil sayo, ako na si mommy, mama, at mom. Thank you for making me one. I love you bubs," she wrote.
Iza Calzado
Iza Calzado also aired the same on her social media post. She emphasized that motherhood is her most important and treasured role while acknowledging the challenges and rewards that come with it.
"Mother. My most cherished and favorite role. 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 the different ways people nurture and support, recognizing that being a mother isn't limited to giving birth.
"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."
KC Concepcion

KC Concepcion showed a beautiful expression of love, appreciation, and thoughtful generosity for her mother, Sharon Cuneta.
On IG, KC expressed her excitement and joy in getting the opportunity to spoil Sharon, referring to her as "the queen," showing immense respect and admiration for her.
KC surprised the Mega Star with a bouquet of seven rose varieties, specifically flown in from Ecuador, indicating the effort and thoughtfulness behind the gesture.
She also personally designed a bespoke pair of solid white & yellow gold heart-shaped drop earrings for Sharon.
"Love you, Mom! You'll always be our queen," KC wrote.
WinWyn Marquez

Miss Universe Philippines 2025 First Runner-up Teresita Ssen "WinWyn" Marquez got candid on her Mother's Day message. She shared an honest and vulnerable moment emphasizing the fear that motherhood would take away the ability to pursue personal goals and dreams. Winwyn also touched on how society often portrays motherhood as something that limits a woman's individuality or ambitions.
"I really thought my career would stop. That the woman I used to be.. the one with big dreams and goals.. would slowly disappear," she said.
Nonetheless, she learned that motherhood does not diminish her. In fact, it brings out qualities she didn't know she had, making her stronger, more patient, and more grounded.
"But here's what I've learned.. motherhood doesn't make you smaller. If anything, it brings out parts of you na hindi mo alam na meron ka and it's just waiting to be seen. It makes you more...more patient, more grounded, more powerful."
She expressed that being a mother is the most significant and rewarding role she will ever have.
"Yes, I've worn crowns onstage.. but this one? This one is built from sleepless nights - unli puyat 🙈, quiet courage, and unconditional love and it means EVERYTHING," she wrote, referring to her daughter, Luna.
Jessy Mendiola

Jessy Mendiola celebrated this day with a grateful heart as she expressed gratitude to God, acknowledged all kinds of motherly roles—whether biological, expecting, or through pet ownership—and emphasized the powerful and sacred nature of motherhood.
She also shared a letter she received from her daughter Rosie.
