1. We usually don’t celebrate Mother’s day and Father’s day because we believe everyday should be their day, but last year I decided to celebrate Father’s day in a extravagant manner. Together with my siblings we brought him and our whole clan to Laguna and rented a private pool complete with videoke and rooms to celebrate Father’s day. The day was pretty amazing especially to my dad and I know deep inside it is one of the most happiest day of his life.

2. I invited all my family members even the ones in the province to a surprise family reunion for him on his burthday.

3. I told him how much I loved him and hugged him tight. Happy Father’s day dad…

4. I bought him a new ipod with a video greeting from all of us saved in it.

5. For my dad’s 65th birthday, my sister and I took him to Las Vegas and stayed at Manny Pacquiao’s favorite hotel (Mandalay Bay). Although Pacman wasn’t there, he was just as ecstatic to have stayed there!

6. I am my daddy’s look-alike. I am proud to be his “princess junior”. I will give my daddy a father’s day card!

7. my sweestes gesture that i showed my dad is a smile. coz everytime that my dad saw me smiling he know’s that im happy and the only thing that would make him happy is to see us his children happy. papa happy father’s day.iloveyou so much.ingat ka lage.mwah

   love,
   kate

8. me and my dad are so close to each other and the sweetest thing I’ve done to my dad, was I treated him in a 1 week vacation here in Philippines. Since he is so much engaged with his work. I gave him a 1 week rest from his work for him to enjoy his life that being apart from his daily endeavor… he was so amazed and had so much fun during that vacation we made, atleast he had enjoyed even for just a week.

9. My TATAY…a jack of all trades…very creative and hardworking. Not showy of his emotion but I would always feel his love even if he reprimands me often. One incident when I was about 5 0r 6 years old that I will never ever forget is that he would wake me up very early in the morning (5am) just to give him a kiss before he goes to work. Now that he is retired I strive hard to give him comfort that he deserves.

   Happy Father’s day TATAY! MAHAL KITA TAY!

10. i helped Daddy washed our car and i always give him his slippers every time he arrives from his work. Then me and my baby sister will give him big sloppy kisses and a great big hug. Last Wednesday I made him a cheese sandwich and brought it to his work. Daddy was so happy. I love daddy so much. I will treat him to a movie next month. We will watch Ice Age 3 and Hannah Montana, just the 2 of us. But I still have to ask money from Mommy because my savings is not yet enough. I love you Daddy, Happy Fatrhers Day.

11. My dad is known for his tenacity and hardwork. He was merely a little boy when his own father was taken from him because of an uneventful accident. Ever since then, he has faced challenges placed before him head-on. From his humble beginnings in the province, he ventured off to the city to find a better life. He was always the achiever, from being salutatorian in his high school days, to being a talented sales rep in Makati. Now, he is rightfully enjoying the fruits of all his hardwork, and he would always show us, his four daughters, how these two characteristics were of greatest importance.

    Last October 2008, he received the greatest news that he was being promoted as Country Manager of the company of which he has been with for almost 21 years. He humbly let us know of this by just forwarding the announcement letter to my email. With this, me, my sisters, and mom thought: “how do we make him feel special about this?” We instantly agreed to make-do with whatever we had that night. When he came home, we turned off all the lights and our house, and when he came in our living room, we all jumped on him and greeted him with shouts of congratulations, hand-drawn posters saying “Congratulations Papa! We love you!” It was a simple, yet heartfelt gesture we made for the first and most precious man in our lives 🙂

    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY PAPA! you will forever be the first man in our lives! :):) WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

12. My papa is frugal. Maybe because he grew up without nothing and until now he’s working so hard to give my mom and sister a good life.

    The best thing that I can give him this Father’s Day is a box of Krispy Kreme because in his 51 years of existence, he hasn’t even tried eating a sinfully delicious doughnut such as Krispy Kreme. He thinks it’s too expensive for his frugal lifestyle.

13. I made a toolbox card for my papa. This is my gift for him.

14. About 3 years ago, I gave him a watch wherein there’s a picture of us. With the help of my grandma, I was able to buy and personalized the item. Until this very moment the watch is still working and he’s still wearing it from time to time.

15. I was going to be away for Father’s Day since I needed to leave our hometown. I know it was going to be really unusual. I was used to celebrating that special day with my dad beside me. I wanted it to make him feel that I’m still there so I decided to write him a card to let him know I still remember. At first, it felt really awkward. I was not used to write him sweet and thoughtful messages that a teenage daughter would want her dad to know on Father’s Day. But I know that he would appreciate it a lot so I made up my mind and came up with a Father’s Day card. I wrote all what I really wanted to say to him as a father. Before I left, I placed it in his drawer and let him feel that I can never forget him on Father’s Day even though I am away.

17. Almost every year on Father’s Day, my sister and I would think of something to do for our dad. This year I decided to service my dad. For example, bringing his drinks, getting the things he needs, bringing him snacks, and more.
    HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD!

18. i bought a nice bouquet of flowers from holland tulips when i got my first salary and brought it to the family mausoleum the day after. i still buy him nice flowers during his special days though

19. id save my allowance for a week or two or three and use it to buy lunch/dinner for the family during his birthday and other special occassions like ofcourse, father’s day . it was a big deal for me since i was still in GS and hs at that time and my allowance isnt that big either. so what i usually do is i buy a stick of bbq or 2 pcs of siomai and half a cup of from the school cafe and that’s what ill eat while im saving my allowance:)

20. Daddy, though you’re far from home and working hard for our family. I will always do my part on helping Mommy in household chores and always do my best in my studies. I will give you medals each year…

    That’s what you always wanted from me. I’ll never let you down…

    Don’t worry so much Daddy, I’ll take care of little sister and Mommy. I Love You So Much

21. I just got home last week just perfect to celebrate with him on one of the most important days. I gave him a 1 week out of country trip… He was so excited..

    Mahal Kita Tatay

22. I greeted my papa on the wrong date (last June 14). I wasn’t so aware that Father’s day is on the third week. Hehe. But then, it’s ok. It’s the thought that really matters after all, not the date. What’s important is that I was able to tell him how grateful I am to have him!

23. Being always there for my dad. But now he’s gone, I’m always including him in my prayers. You’re the best dad. Thanks!

24. We celebrated Fathers Day last Saturday, since my Dad’s flight back to US for work is scheduled on Sunday. Mom and Dad went out to process some papers so, My sisters and I used the time to prepare something special for my dad. I made a video (a slideshow of pictures of Dad) and my sisters made a card. We also cleaned the house and cooked a special dinner. We also bought a cake.
    When we heard their car arrive, my sisters and i rushed to the door and got ready. When he entered the door, we all shouted “Happy Fathers’ Day!”. Then, we played the video. I knew my dad was trying hard not to cry. And I know, he has been reading the card repeatedly while he’s on his flight to US.

25. “Psssssst…”
    “Pa!”

    Father wouldn’t call us by name. He need not to, a whistle would do. The world seemed to come to a halt every time we heard him whistling—distinctive, authoritative, threatening. We would leave behind whatever we were up to pronto, dash straight to the house, and put on a brave front to face punishment personified. There was nothing more humiliating than to be taunted as crybabies by friends next moro-moro or baril-barilan sessions.

    “Pa, we will not do it again,” my younger brother and I would lunge out our never-to-do-it-again dialogue to father. “He did it first,” accused my brother.

    “No, Pa, he did first,” I would rebut amidst tears brewing to fall.

    Whack. Whack. Whack. All cries had turned to deaf ears. Father’s leather belt slithered on our tender skins.

    Everything did change as the years passes by. Now, I am 19 years old. I am still afraid of Father. But it isn’t the kind of fear that awakens me in the middle of the night shaking and sweating. Nor is it the kind of fear that inhibits me from pursuing responsibilities whose ends are undefined. Rather, it is one that begets respect and harbors no bitterness, no matter how complex and harsh the previous life was. All these years I have learned that the life I lead has an effect in the life I now live, and the life I now live will have an effect on the kind of life I will live.

    I don’t hear Father whistling these days. I even haven’t had single intimate contact with his belt for years now. I had out lived it. Age has taken its roll on him—cataract blurred his vision, his skins sagged, and arthritis has slowed down his strides. Father is after all not invincible.

    In my childhood I often wished for heaven to look down on me, intervene in my behalf, and take pity on my miserable plight. I seldom make wishes these days but a wish stands firm and true—for Father to be young and able to spank me again. Maybe this time tears would roll down to kiss a smiling lip. To the best Papang in the world, I love you so much and Happy Father’s Day.

26. My gift to my dad is the Video of my Baby on her first smile and shout on Youtube and lots of Pictures posted on Flickr. He is working abroad right now and seeing the pictures and video of her first grand daughter makes him Happy this fathers day. Same effect to me as well.. Papa, Happy Fathers Day!… =)

27. My daddy recently passed away…I remember doing all sorts of sweet stuff for him but I guess writing a poem for him (as message during eulogy) and designing his tomb marker (in a way that I thought was “so him”) top my list. Here goes my poem:

    Daddy-o

    The time has finally come
    Our dear Daddy is now gone
    His soul was surely filled with glee
    That early Friday morning, April 3.

    This passing has long been his wish
    So his Daddy and Nanay, he could kiss
    As they usher him through the gates of heaven
    And be happy in their arms again.

    Many years ago, he started to prepare us
    For the time that he would return to dust,
    Made us see his death as a happy day,
    That in my prayers, “Take him, Lord”, I sometimes would say

    He was tired, I know, and deserved to rest
    The days that he lived, I’m sure, were the best.
    But it pains me still to see him stiff
    I love him and he was a precious gift.

    Oh, Daddy, I promise to remember you
    As you said we should all do
    I will keep your memory alive
    I promise to do this for the rest of my life.

    Go, Daddy, fly high
    Don’t worry about us, don’t sigh
    To you I have this one last wish
    Sincerely, may you rest in peace.

28. Daddy, Happy Father’s Day!

    Thank You for everything that you have done, are doing, and will do for our family. Even though sometimes, I don’t show it that much, I really appreciate every little thing that you do for us, especially for me. Thank you for always being patient and “matiyaga” in driving for me whenever and wherever I go.

    Thank you for always believing in me, in everything that I can do. I hope you don’t get tired of pushing me up to my best. Thank you for all your support, both moral and financial (especially when it comes to my studies).

    Sorry for everything I have done that might have hurt you or if there’s something I did you didn’t like. I’m trying my best to be the good daughter that you and Mommy deserve. Just remember that we will always be here for you.

    We love you, Daddy! 🙂

29. I gave him a personalized shirt with “Greatest Dad on earth” on it and our picture together. It made him shed tears.

30. As far as I can remember, the last time I gave my father a letter was about 25 years ago. It was a Valentine card that I made from art paper and bond paper in my Grade 1 Art class. Today, I’m writing him a letter for Father’s Day!

    To Tatay… you told us once that you are not a perfect father. You also feel sorry sometimes that life could have been a little better if not for your wrong decisions in the past. You even said that if only you have the power, you’ll grant us a father that we truly deserve.

    ‘Tay… We don’t need perfection, what we long is your affection. Past is past, apologies accepted. You don’t need special power to be the best father. Just cook us your adobo and kaldereta, kalimutan na natin ang problema!

    Mahal ka namin, Tatay!

31. My dad and I may not have the most perfect relationship on the planet but I will always be grateful to him for bringing me into this world. He’s not the best dad neither am I the best daughter, but he’s my dad and I’m his child. Nothing in the world can change that. Happy Fathers Day, dad.

32. I wrote my dad a letter expressing my love that even though he has been an absentee father i understood him. I honestly told him that i know that on all those days he was afar i know that he is thinking of us and missing his family. We just see him once every week when we were growing up. I also thank him for sacrificing his time for us to putting much on work…i know his reason…he was working hard to give us a wonderful life and with his effort we finished studying. At the end of the letter i told him that by 7:00 in the evening on fathers day he must be dressed-up because Im taking him out for a good evening bonding.

    I surprised him for a dinner! He thought we were the only two people to dine….heheheh.When we were about to order i texted my mom and sister to come in…he was too surprise!!!! He was all smilesssss 🙂 After dinner i asked him if he would like to go watch movie or drink coffee…He choose coffee (addict sa ccofee e)..we then went to a coffee shop and stayed there until 2am, talking and bonding…we were laughing…I had a good time!!! and to my surprise my dad hugged me and said this a another evening he had that is worth treasuring! Ako naman ung all smilesssss!!!! hehehe

33. Last Christmas I treat my dad to a round trip ticket to Hong Kong with my family and I believe that I can’t still pay back all the things my dad did to me. We enjoyed and played like a kid again at Disneyland HK and my dad looks like a teen enjoying the place. It is my most unforgettable day in my life. My dad is close to perfect. He’s the one who molds me to be who I am right now. He’s really the “haligi ng tahanan”.

34. i have never been really imaginative nor creative in gift-giving but my 3-year-old daughter seems to have a knack for it. you see, her father died a couple of years ago so she never really knew him. but when she heard about fathers day in sunday school, she decided to paint our family picture. she asked me to buy a balloon and tie the painting to the balloon’s string and we released it outside. she believes the balloon will take her painting to her father in heaven.

35. when i was about 5 or 6 i always give him butterfly kisses

36. id alwaysgive him my papers if i get a hundred:)

37. My father turned 60 last year. He lives in Davao and we sisters (all 3 of us) are based here in Manila. It has been awhile since we saw him (about 3 years). He has been dropping hints for us to visit him for about the first year that we were away. Eventually, he just stopped (thinking that maybe we were too busy to go home). On his 60th birthday, we surprised him by taking the earliest flight home on his special day and brought him a special “breakfast in bed” made out of his favorite EngBeeTin Ube hopia and placed them on a silver tray, complete with 60 miniature candles and red ribbons. It was the first time we saw him cry. We cried, too. 🙂

    To our papa, we love you very much!

38. The span of time in which he is not around is not a hindrance because every time my daddy groovy is in the Philippines, he spends glorious moments with us.

    He is an ENGINEER who is working in a boat. He is a TEACHER because he teaches me how to play tennis and guitar. He is a PREACHER because he teaches me how to pray. He is a COOK because he cooks nutritious food for us. He is a pet LOVER because he cuddles our golden retriever dog. He is a DRIVER because he drives and fetch me to school. He is a shock ABSORBER because he listens, suggests and defends me. Most of all, he is a FATHER because he is loving and kind.

    Thank you, Dad…for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but especially, for just being YOU!!! Happy Father’s Day.

39. I don’t cook. I married a man who loves cooking, with a family who loves cooking, with all them 5boys and 1girl who loves to cook and eat. 3 of the boys, including my husband, got married to girls who doesn’t know how to cook – including me.

    My mother-in-law had a great idea to do a Father’s Day cooking challenge where the wives will cook pasta and chicken for my father in law. The husbands can help but cannot coach.

    We had the challenge last Father’s Day and I cooked the best chicken, though not the over-all winner.

    At the end of the day, everybody’s a winner – not just the contenders but the whole family. We had lots of fun. It will forever be a memory. I’m so blessed to be married to my ever supportive husband with a loving family.

40. I never used to be separated from home. That’s why I never enrolled in Baguio nor Manila in College. I felt that i am not complete without my parents and siblings beside me, or sleep without my favorite pillow and bed.

    I’ve been married for 5 years now, but initially been living with my parents. Aside from financial constraints, the reason is the fact that i will miss my mom, my brothers and sisters and most especially my dad, my bestfirend. But even if we do not want to, we need to do things or make decisions for good. We need to build our own house and establish a happy home for our family. Ever since we moved out of our house just a year ago, I never let a day go by without telling him I love him. I always make a call, and still find time to chat. I want him to know that even from a distance, my heart never fails to remember.

    I love you dad, happy father’s day to you.

41. I was always on top 10 during my elem and high school days but my dad never went up on stage to pin the medals.

    I asked him about that, why ? he told and promised me if
    he’s for finale … on college graduation he will surely be there
    if I will graduate with honors.

    College days were tough for me and had hard time to finish
    research and thesis projects but I did my best . I gave my
    time studying and never get involved to any relationship
    for I have a goal .. to graduate with honors so I could see
    my dad beside me pinning my medal.

    And yes, I did ! I graduated cum laude ….
    But my dad never made it on the stage for he died before
    my graduation and those were the lowest part of my life!

    I know , deep in my heart he was really proud of me

    i love you papang and your memories will always be
    remembered .

42. i offered prayers fo my dad’s soul and told him that no one will ever ever replace him in my heart:)

43. cooking for him:)

44. Happy Fathers Day Dad! I will always remember the things you thought to me for the rest of my life. Be the Jack of all trades, Work Harder then get Tougher, Maintain Highest form of Discipline, Do the Extra Mile, Lessons In Life, Do Good, Integrity,Think Big, Humility and Be the Best what you can be. Now i already prove as time goes by “A big fruitful tree came from a big root” Thanks for nourishing this gift of knowledge that serve as an incredible incentive for my future. As a men of the society. Thank you for the unusual support and true knowledge you install deep in my soul. For me your the Greatest Dad living on Earth. And i feel so lucky that i belong to the sperm club our legacy.

45. dad is strict to us when we were kids but very responsible
    and loving. though he never showed us we felt that he wanted
    us all to be successfull and have a wonderful family.

    one of the sweetest thing we did was to surprise him a party
    on his 75th birthday..it was the most memorable family reunion
    wherein we have a chance to say thank you .

46. My father, my brother, my boyfriend. I call you a man of may personalities. You’re such a wonderful person. Very understanding and considerate father.

    I missed everything about you when you said goodbye last Mother’s Day (10th of May, 2009). Now it’s your day… also your 40th day… I know that your happy with our Creator

    Thank you Papa for the Memories…

47. We don’t usually celebrate Father’s Day! But a week before Father’s Day, we’ve already bought him an Adidas slippers and gave it to him as soon as we got home! No need to wait for the day itself to let him know that we remember him 🙂

48. It happened when I was an eleven.

    I helped him in his business during weekends. I cooked our food, instead of him. There’s only 2 of us at our house, ‘coz my mother was an OFW.

49. one of my sweetest gesture was when I was 7
    dad has some colds and I volunteered to make
    him a glass of calamansi juice. I was so excited
    at that time serving my dad but upon drinking it
    his face becomes bad but manage to smile…
    unknowingly, what I put was iodized salt instead
    of sugar i was so ashamed but he kissed and
    told me, my thoughtfulness is enough !

50. i bought him chicken joy and spaghetti
    from my first salary ! and really loves it
