Anything for Dad on Father’s Day

By Bianca Consunji, Powie Pastor
Philippine Daily Inquirer

Last updated 21:26:00 06/12/2009

Since I don?t have the money to buy a present, I will give my dad a big hug and a kiss, and thank him for being the most wonderful dad in the world. I?m sure no money can buy that.?Steph Rodriguez, with dad Dan

?I no longer live with my parents, so I?m definitely spending Father?s Day Sunday with my dad. He?s a simple chap; treating him to a hearty char-grilled burger-and-ube ice cream lunch would do the trick! And I guess a reminder and reassurance that he is, and will forever be, the first man I ever loved.? ?Nikki Gloria-Dizon

?My gift for my dad this Father?s Day will be a promise to always be on time and avoid going home late.? ?Anna Margarita Gonzalez, with dad Robbie

?For Father?s Day, I?ll send a cute photo of me and papa for this article. I?m sure my pops will get a kick out of seeing our photo in a newspaper! Happy Father?s Day, Papa! Love you!? ?Patricia Coronado

?My Dad works as an OFW [overseas Filipino worker]. When I was young I used to ask him why does he need to stay away from us and work abroad. Every time I ask this question, he always tells me that he works abroad to provide us our daily needs and in order for him to send us to a good school. When I was younger, I don?t take my studies seriously. As this school year begins, I promise to study hard and try to pass all my subjects so that I can graduate on time. I think that would be the greatest gift that I can give my dad this Father?s Day.? ?Tristan Jay Padilla, with dad Danilo

?Friends and family know my dad as ?the one most likely to crack corny jokes.? This Father?s Day, I will laugh heartily at his jokes and punch lines, no matter how corny they are. It will be my way of appreciating his effort to make those around him happier. I love you, Pops!? ?Chesca Sumilang

?My Dad passed away two years ago, and years before he died, I had been cold to him. I don?t know what happened which made me feel that way towards him, because when I ask myself the reason I just say, ?Maybe I grew up.? I wasn?t really showy of my emotions when he was still alive, and I have regrets now. I wish I told him how much he means to me and how much I love him. If ever this will be included, this will be my gift for him for Father?s Day. I hope at least through this article, I can tell him, ?I love and I miss you, dad.???Hazel del Rosario

?More than just giving my dad temporal material goods, I always make it a point to always thank my dad for everything that he has done for me and our family. I will make it a point on Father?s Day to highlight the fact that my love for my dad encompasses my entire being?expressed in both my words and actions.? ?Luigi Onglao

?I?ll bring my dad to eat some fruits and sea-oysters, crab, etc.?in a restaurant of Place Clichy.? ?Guillame Delore

?I?ll call him via satellite, since he is in the middle of the blue oceans of New Zealand.? ?Karen Ann Mata

?I simply adore and love my dad! On Father?s Day, I will give him a tight hug, say I love you to him, and treat him to a plateful of desserts, all kinds!? ?Gina Lumauig

?I will kiss and hug my father on Father?s Day.? ?Jessica Anna P. Lopez

?To the coolest dad on Earth! Papa my gift for you is a beer shaped cake and my continuous love and understanding. I?m forever thankful for the love and support and the things you?ve done for us.? ?Plivia Alaba

?I choose to give him a DVD (haven?t decided yet what title, hopefully by Father?s Day I can find a good one). Recently, my mama bought a new flat screen television with DVD player for them. My papa loves to watch movies especially during his free time with his family in their room. But I noticed, every time we start to watch the film he choose, in not less than five minutes he was already sleeping. I wish you can finish watching this DVD that we bought you on your special day. We will definitely watch it with the whole family, but don?t sleep okay. Happy Father?s Day, papa! We love you.? ?Bernice Ilagan, with dad Mon

?Money transfer to my father. So he can ask my brothers and high school friends for another drinking session.? ?Niarchos Bondoc

?Since I cook for our very own President, I?ll probably cook a delicious meal for my dad this father?s day. I love you Pa!??Enzo Tuason, with dad Tomas

?Our Father?s Day gift to our dad would be an Apple iPhone which we all chipped in for using our allowances that our very own dad gave us.??Bryce, Brenz, Mayee, Brendon, Bernie

?I will probably take my dad out to watch a movie and have lunch. It?s better to have fun memories together than give him something he?ll just probably store in the corner of the house.? ?Anna Casiano, with dad Tords

?Since my dad loves to eat and very adventurous when it comes to food, his ?Charlie?s Angels? will treat him for a dinner date. Location: surprise. He always read newspapers. He might see this.? ?Nina Lim

?My gift for my dad this Father?s Day would be an apple. Because as the cliché goes, an apple a day, keeps the doctor away. More than anything else, good health is what I would like my dad to have. ?Richard Uy

?A good whole body massage from his own daughter.? ?Cari Espenesin, with dad Policarpio

?I would probably just cook lunch for my dad on Father?s Day.? ?Abi Corpus, with dad Joey

?I will treat my dad lunch at Dad?s ultimate buffet.? ?Raemond Arizala

?I will cook dinner for him.? ?Mabel Domen

?My father?s day gift to my dad would be the promise to be a good father like him, and a massager.? ?Paolo San Pedro

?Since my father is addicted to Sudoku, I will buy lots and lots of Sudoku books to keep him entertained until the next father?s day comes.? ?Oliver Lucas

?I?ll have my transcript of records wrapped and have it delivered to our house on Father?s Day. After seven years of struggling in college (I took up two courses), I finally made it. I guess that?s one of the best gifts that I can give to him on Father?s Day because I?ve already given the best gift that a daughter can give to her father, and that?s my son Caleb.? ?Nowie Laurio
