By NONIE V. NICASIO

ANG kilalang businesswoman, philanthropist, at showbiz personality na si Ms. Cecille Bravo ay isa sa pinarangalan sa nagdaang Top 20 Mother of the Year 2026 Awards.

Hatid ng Woman of the World Organization, in collaboration with Megastar Philippines Founder & Organizer Ovette Ricalde, ang event ay ginanap sa VS Hotel Convention Center, Quezon City, last June 14, 2026.

Itinuturing ni Ms. Cecille na espesyal ang naturang parangal.

Aniya, “To be honest, I feel that this is one of the awards that truly means a lot for me. Kasi to be acknowledge as a mother, wala nang mas hihigit pa rito. Being a mom for me is the most fulfilling thing in the world and I would never exchange it for anything. ”

Nabanggit din niya ang satisfaction na kaakibat ng pagiging isang ina.

“It is satisfying for me as a woman/a mother when I see my children happy and healthy, and thriving. Its when they are able to achieve their heart’s desires. I want my children to be kind, fair and most of all….loving.”

Ano sa palagay niya ang definition ng isang ina?

Esplika ni Ms. Cecille, “A mother for me is someone who gives unconditional love to her children and is willing to sacrifice anything and everything for them. A mother is strict, but can be easygoing; protective, yet encouraging and supportive.”

Sinabi rin ng masipag na negosyante kung kanino niya inaalay ang kanyang award at ang inspiration niya sa mga ginagawang pagtulong sa kapwa.

Pahayag niya, “Siyempre this award is for my children, my husband… they are my world and definitely wala itong award na ito kung wala sila.

“My family, my husband and my children, they inspires me to help other people that is less fortunate than us. And I also feel that God guides me and is using me as an instrument to share His blessings to others,” sambit pa ni Ms Cecille.

Ang pamilya ni Ms. Cecille ay present sa naturang event, kabilang ang kanyang mga anak na sina Miguel at Matthew Bravo, ang kanyang butihing ina na si Mamita Hazel Tria, at ilang mga kaibigan.
