I used to call her Nanay...like everyone does.
She is my Aunt actually, my mother’s eldest sister. The person behind my mother's success in life as I was always told, "hindi ako makakapagtapos ng aking pag-aaral kung wala si Manang" hmm...that part is a long story. I'm not going into details.
Earlier, I wanted to talk here not as one of her niece but as a person who sees her as a good individual. I wanted to go out of the circle for once and will speak as another person… but I realized that won’t change anything because I think that we all look up at Nanay in just the same way whether we're part of her family or not.

| Me, Nanay, and Mama |
She is not a potential saint which in her conviction
there is none. Being a born Adventist she doesn’t worship anyone other than God
in heaven—so I guessed it won’t make her feel good if I considered her a future
saint because we should not worship anyone other than God (One lesson from her). That’s
why I’m hot going to worship her…if it happens that by the end of this post her
name will be uplifted then that is just because she deserves a good
testimonial.
It is in her nature to help the needy. She has the ability give, the power to bend her back, and has the talent to sacrifice.
Ask Nanay to make you a dress—you’ll have it in no time. She made me hundred of dresses already since I was little (From casual to school uniforms, party dresses, Prom gowns, etc.) and I am thankful for that although there were times I despise her style, still I wore all of them. Ask Nanay to pray for you—she’ll be singing songs of praises too. Ask Nanay for knowledge and wisdom—she’ll guide you to come close to God to attain that.
Experience wise, I’m pretty sure she made it through a lot of hard times. That’s why she understands. That’s why she helps. That’s why she sings amidst the trouble… I bet she been through one horror after another. She has a lot of untold stories that made her that good and that strong.
Her life today can tell...no one will argue but everyone will agree.

Very Inspiring...
Seeing her smile today, I can’t help but to wonder whom to consider lucky. Is it Nanay for having a successful family or her family being raised by Nanay thus became successful? I guess both sides feel exactly just the same—proud of each other.
