She emphasized that mothers serve as the first teachers and the backbone of every Filipino family.
Duterte also recognized the unique struggles faced by overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), highlighting their sacrifices.
To our OFW mothers, we know that sacrifice is not always about physical presence—sometimes, the greatest sacrifice is the distance you endure to provide for your family.
