HOME IS WHEREVER YOU ARE, MOM.

 

               Mother's Day is an international holiday honoring mothers that is observed in many nations. The modern version of the holiday is celebrated on the second Sunday in May in the United States. Many other countries observe the holiday on this day, while others do it at different periods of the year. On Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent, the custom of permitting those who had migrated away to visit their home parishes and mothers evolved during the Middle Ages. In the United Kingdom, this became Mothering Sunday, which has mostly been superseded by Mother's Day in modern times. On Sunday, May 8, 2022, Mother's Day will be observed.

 

               Mothers and mothers-in-law are essential. They're probably the first people we meet when we're born, and they love and care for us throughout our lives. Every year, countries all around the world commemorate Mother's Day, a day devoted to all moms on which we can express our gratitude. Every country that celebrates Mother's Day does it in a variety of ways, rooted in distinct traditions and enacted by individuals who appreciate the importance of honoring women.


               Mother's Day is a significant holiday in the Philippines. This is owing to the prominent role of mothers in Filipino culture. Mum is known as the "ilaw ng tahanan," or "house light," because of the love, joy, and brightness she offers to the family. Bringing her breakfast in bed, taking her out for lunch or dinner, giving her a card or a present, making a special phone call to tell her how much you miss and love her, and simply showing up at the family Mother's Day event to spend some time with her are all common ways to treat Mum right on Mother's Day in the Philippines.

 

               Mothers play an important role in the family, which is a powerful force for social integration and cohesion. The mother-child bond is critical for children's proper growth. Mothers are also breadwinners for their families, as well as carers. We may find our mothers irritating at times, yet she never fails to love us unconditionally. She always forgives us and showers us with the same true and pure love, no matter how many mistakes we make. She is the one who is always concerned about their children's happiness.
