"Ako, wala nang hihigit pa sa nanay ko! I'm sure lahat tayo ito naman ang masasabi. Happy Mother's Day sa lahat ng mga dakilang ina!"

Faith Cuneta: "To love even if it hurts because if you do things with love, everything else follows. That's the greatest commandment from God."

Mark Herras: "Simple lang po, laging ingatan ang sarili at huwag magpabaya. Dapat marunong tumanaw ng utang ng loob at may takot sa Diyos."

Ciara Sotto: "The most important advice she gave me is to trust God. That I have to put my faith in no one in this world but Jesus Christ. I am going through a lot, especially now that I am away from everyone I love and that advice always, always, always gets me by."

Gladys Reyes: "Sabi ni Mommy, importante ang maging hands-on mom kasi mas maganda yung may mother's personal touch sa lahat ng bagay. Never iasa sa yaya o sa mga helper ang personal needs ng anak mo. A mother is the first person to teach and you will never know the true meaning of unconditional love until you become a mother yourself."

Jeffrey Hidalgo: "To finish school no matter what. That was a big accomplishment on my part since I never left school and prioritized it during the whole course of my career, even though I had to pass up a lot of opportunities. Also she taught me how to be generous. She said giving ain't giving until it hurts."

John "Sweet" Lapus: "Laging sinasabi ng mommy ko na huwag magsinungaling. Dahil ang sinungaling ay kapatid ng magnanakaw. At ang magnanakaw ay kayang pumatay. Kaya until now, I try my best not to tell a lie."

LJ Moreno: "The best advice my mom gave me is to finish college no matter what. I was able to get my degree at 26 and I'm really proud of that accomplishment!"

Chokoleit: "Ang palagi niyang sinasabi sa akin, that no matter what talent you have, if you don't have discipline, it will not take you anywhere. Dagdag niya, sa estado ko ngayon, just don't live beyond your means and you will live comfortably."

Glaiza de Castro: "To be thankful sa lahat ng bagay, whether good or unexpectedly bad. God has reasons for everything. Laging maging masaya at pahalagahan ang mga opportunities na ibinibigay sa iyo."

Isabel Granada: "To value yourself. To be a God-fearing person. To respect your parents because that's how you will get respect from others. Outer beauty will fade but beauty within oneself remains. Moral values are the first precious gift that my mom gave. Next is education. She might be really strict with me until I was about to get married, but no regrets. Because this is how she was brought up. My mom is not perfect, but she tries to be the best mom to us."

Arthur Solinap: "One good advice from my mom is the saying, ‘Don't do to others what you do not want others to do unto you.' Yun kasi ang laging sinasabi ng mom ko noong bata ako. Dinala ko yun hanggang sa paglaki ko. Malaki ang naging epekto nun sa buhay ko ngayon."

Giselle Sanchez: "Mother's are always right. Tama sila sa mga decisions, gut-feel, advices, prohibitions, and others. I never really took it seriously, not until I became a mother. I realized everything she told me was right."

Jojo Alejar: "In life, let go and let God. Because with Him, everything will come out the best."
