Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 10)— Filipinos on Sunday marked a special day to pay tribute to all mothers and other mother figures who have embraced their roles of becoming nurturers and inspirations for the younger generation.
The country’s biggest stars are no exception, as celebrities took to social media to greet their moms a happy Mother’s Day.

Maymay Entrata also shared a candid moment with her mother on her Instagram feed.
