A person who looks after us and who makes us feel endlessly loved. Who else but our mothers! If there’s one thing that our mother’s love about Mother’s Day, it’s spending quality time with the people they love the most— their children and their whole family. They’re always there for us, may it be as a silent presence or a moral compass. Guiding us in all our stages of life. For Mother’s Day, they deserve the very best too. We only wish for you true joy and happiness, and to know that we’re always here for them. Now let’s take a look on the loveable and pretty mommies of MPT South fam!

“Eto yung favorite picture ko of her kase gusto ko yung ngiti nya dito , I remember na super supportive sya nung nagsisimula na ako magkaron ng career kahit medyo naudlot. We tried na ma-experience niya i-enjoy ang life kahit 8 anak yung tinaguyod nya. Sana I am making you proud. My Momcee is my hero, I am a strong woman ‘coz she raised me“.


- Maria Miarosa Derriega – ROW Sr. Associate
Being a mother is a big responsibility and never ending. From the moment you give birth until they’ve grown up having their own family and life. This picture reminds me of my Lola who raised me since the day my real mom died when I was just 8months old. I was raised and spoiled by her. She will do anything for me. She protected me and loved me like her own. Her unconditional love and care still inspires me to be a better mom now to my 3 kids. I miss you Mommy. I know you are still there looking at us in heaven guiding me with my life decision. You are my inspiration to be a strong woman in this life full of challenges. I graduated and have my own family now yet my love for you will never ever change.

Maaga nabalo ang Nanay ko at di ko makakalimutan yung mga panahon na binuhay nya kami at pinalaki na magisa sya. Nakita ko kung pano sya maging Nanay at Tatay samin ng Kuya ko, nagluluto, nagpapakain, nag aasikaso samin at nagtratrabaho. Naalala ko pa nga nung maliit pa lang ako, sinasama pa nga ako sa divisoria para mamili ng paninda namin. Maraming salamat Ma, isa kang alamat at SuperMom kaya kami naman ang bahala at mag aalaga sayo.

Her hug that warms my soul and touches my spirit. This photo was taken last 2018, I need to live alone far away to my mother’s hug since Bulacan is quite far in Cavite. This is my first time to live independently after my college graduation. When she hugs me, I feel safe. When she smiles at me, I know she believes in me. When she laughs, I know I’m doing something right. She’s always there for me, from the good to the bad and the ugly phases of my life and I’ll make sure that distance will not break us. Being the strong, independent woman I am today is because of my lovely mama Flor.

- Nickole Genil – Toll Associate
Thank you po for almost 23 years of providing my needs just to have a better life to live on. I am now gradually achieving my dreams. You are my great partner in all aspects . Mama pahinga muna, ako ng bahala .


- Joan Predilla – Toll Specialist
Ang maitaguyod kami sa napakahabang panahon ay hindi madali.. Sapat na at sobra sobra pang sakripisyo ang ginawa nila para samin para kmi makapagtapos sa pag aaral at matutong itaguyod ang sari sarili naming buhay. Maraming salamat sa Nanay Kong walang sawa ang supporta at pagmamahal sa amin.

- Maria Victoria Arellano – Contracts Administration Sr. Manager
My Nanay’s 1st in Tagaytay, a perfect place to visit is a museum (narinig ko lang siya noong may napanood siya about the place itself, na gusto niya pumunta).

- Melanie Flores – ROW Supervisor
Mga panahong malakas pa siya. Sobrang down to earth na kapag may ayaw sakanya hinahayaan nalang niya at maririnig ko nalang sakanya “lagi kang magpakumbaba at ipagdasal mo nalang sila dahil ang dios hindi natutulog”. Hindi kami pinabayaan hanggang sa kami ay nagkapamilya. Iba talaga magmahal ang isang Ina. Thanks for all your sacrifices you made. Thanks for all the love you have given us.

- Sunshine Alejandro – Accounting & Tax Sr. Associate
Isa sa masasayang pagkakataon na maibigay kay Nanay ang kapahingahan mula sa araw-araw at maghapon nyang pagtitinda. Sa lahat ng sacrifices, effort at pag-aalaga nya sa amin, it’s our time to give back to her. Isa sa mga gala namin para kay nanay, ang magpunta sa Tanay, Rizal para mkapagrelax.

- Novie Atim – Contracts Management & Accreditation Associate
First photo was her first mall after more than a year of pandemic (June 2021) and 2nd photo was her first mall after being fully vaccinated
May corona virus man ngayon, walang wala yan kasi nasa iyo na ang Korona ng pagiging mabuting ina. We love you.


- Angelou Coronel – Toll Associate
Thankful and Blessed . Maraming salamat sa walang kapantay na pagmamahal na binibigay mo sating buong pamilya wala kami sa gantong sitwasyon ng buhay namin kung hindi dahil sa iyo at ni papa. You’re the best mom.

- Marinette Adier – ROW Sr. Associate
Happy Mother’s day sa aming Ina ng Tahanan. Gagaling ka din Ma’ in God’s Will. Thank you for all the sacrifices until now na na-stroke ka, di ka nagpabaya sa amin. Gagawin namin ang lahat para sa iyo.

- Krisha Rodriguez – Toll Associate
You are my friend, my spirit, and my influence towards success. There is no replacement for you. You are the best and will be best forever. I am proud to be just like my mother, I wouldn’t want to be like anyone else.

- Jen Jen Agno – Toll Associate
You mean everything to me, thankyou sa lahat ng pagmamahal at sa lahat ng sacrifices, pangako ko sa iyo hangga’t nabubuhay ako sisikapin kong ibigay lahat sa iyo. Mahal na mahal kita.

- Arlynn Papio – Traffic Operations Sr. Associate
No words can describe this unforgettable day (see photo)! One day preparation for my 18th birthday and siya yung nasa tabi ko kung ano yung mga kailangan ko all the time. I’m so happy with this amazing woman. I’m blessed to have a mom like her.

- Arnie Esguerra – Toll Specialist
Nung mga bata pa kami siya yung nag sasama sa amin sa ibang Lugar para mamasyal, para maging happy kami. This time kami naman ang gumagawa ng way para igala sya at mag unwind kahit simple lang, especially this pandemic days.

- Gabriel Furaque – Toll Specialist
Words are not enough to describe how blessed I am to be your son. Thanks for all that you do. All I want to see is the SMILE on your face .

- Chemelie Andamon – Project Sr. Engineer
Show me the strongest person in the world and I’ll show you my mother. Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother. Salute to this Wonder Woman! She is more than a Queen.

- Vanessa Quillopas – Toll Associate
Ang aking NANAY at TATAY for 23 years. Thank you Ma sa lahat ng dapat kakainin mo na lang ibibigay mo pa sakin. Kung bibigyan ako ng pagkakataon na mamili ng magiging nanay, ikaw at ikaw pa rin ang pipiliin ko.

- Demi Janine Campos -Project Planning Engineer
To my mom and lola who are always there to guide me, thank you for your unconditional love. I love you. This photo was my online oathtaking. Kahit sa bahay lang, nagprepare pa rin sila with me .
