Star Magic hosted its first ever “Mamamagic Day”, dedicated to honoring the incredible mothers within its family.
Held at the Brittany Hotel Villar City in Cavite last May 11, the event was meant to celebrate the profound bond shared between mothers, their children, and the talent management family.
Hosted by VJ Ai dela Cruz, the affair was graced by Krystal Mejes, Heart Ramos, Lance Lucido, Chunsa Jung, Marc Santiago, and Jana Agoncillo, alongside their respective mothers.
Actresses Dimples Romana, Vina Morales, Desiree Del Valle, Nikki Valdez, Jolina Magdangal, Dimples Romana, Elisse Joson, Melai Cantiveros, and Janella Salvador illuminated the room with their glow.
New moms Pamu Pamorada, Hasna Cabral, Mika Pajares, and Riva Quenery, along with their adorable little ones, also joined in the celebration.
The evening witnessed soul-stirring performances by the TNT Kids Aliyah, Dylan, and Kim, together with Klarisse De Guzman, who even got teary-eyed during her song tribute. “‘Yung mom ko kasi is in the hospital right now. So actually ngayon, muntik na ‘kong ‘di makapunta. So ang hirap kumanta… Happy Mother’s Day, Ma! Pagaling ka. Laban lang,” Klarisse shared after her performance.
During the heartfelt event, Star Magic moms shared profound insights and parenting advice emphasizing discipline and the importance of self-care to better nurture their families.
Reflecting on her own experience, Dimples Romana declared, “I’d rather have happy kids than successful kids.”
Nikki Valdez said, “Never be sorry or guilty for disciplining your kids… For me, discipline equates to tough love.”
Elisse Joson reminded mothers to prioritize taking care of themselves. “We’re still ‘us’ bago pa tayo naging nanay. ‘Pag inalagaan natin ang sarili natin, mas magiging present tayo sa ating family, sa ating mga anak.”
Jolina Magdangal shed light on the magic a mother naturally possesses, saying, “Alam niyo kapag naging mommy kasi, naging parent ka na, hindi mo akalain na magagawa mo ‘yung mga bagay na akala mo hindi mo kaya. Unang una na ‘yang pagbalance ng work.”
Asked how she keeps her family happy, Melai Cantiveros said, “I have to be happy first,” and then jokingly added, “before I enter the kingdom of love,” prompting laughter from everyone amid the emotional moment. She went on, “Kailangan maging masaya muna ako bago ko sila mapasaya. Paano ko sila mapapasaya kung miserable ang buhay ko?”
When asked for advice for new moms, Janella Salvador highlighted the value of learning from their children. “Siguro kasi ako, as a new mom, marami pa ako natututunan. And I think that’s the best advice I can give – na as much as we [moms] love to teach our kids new things, marami sila natututunan from us. I think it’s also a learning process for us as well.”
