Celebrity Families to be Awarded at BABY & FAMILY EXPO PHILIPPINES 2013

Celebrities and showbiz personalities have great impact in the lives of their followers and viewers. Fanatics have the tendency to imitate their idols in all aspects and imbibe their lifestyle. 

I guess it's very difficult to be in celebrities' shoes. Their privacy is at stake when they become rich and famous. Not only that, it's so hard to maintain relationships when you are in the environment that is full of temptations, intrigues, and controversies. 

I admire celebrities who still maintain their principles and live accordingly to the norms of society. I am not a moralist but in my opinion, despite the fact that they have also the right do what they want, celebrities have the responsilbility to project an image that will be of good influence to their followers. 

I also feel happy when I see celebrity couples build their own families and stand the test of time through the years. I am proud of them because they never falter and become role models to Filipino families. They deserve to be honored.

In line with this, I am very much elated to introduce to you the very first GOLDEN FAMILY AWARDS by Baby & Family Expo Philippines 2013. 

   

CELEBRITY FAMILIES TO BE AWARDED AT THE BABY & FAMILY EXPO 2013

(November 14, 2013) The biggest family event of the year, Baby & Family Expo Philippines 2013, happening on December 06-08, 2013 at SMX Convention Center Manila, Mall of Asia Complex, will be recognizing celebrity families, parents and kids who have been a great inspiration and role model to Filipino families in the first ever Golden Family Awards. The awarding ceremony is scheduled on Saturday, December 7, 2013, 6pm.

The Golden Family of the Year will be awarded to celebrity parents Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo and to daughter Johanna “Yohan Lois" and son Juan Luis "Lucho." Their on-screen love team developed to an off-camera relationship. Four years after, wedding bells were finally heard. Despite rumors, their relationship stayed strong. Aside from their successful showbiz career, Judy Ann and Ryan still managed to be hands-on parents. When it comes to enforcing discipline to their kids, they prefer to handle it on a case-to-case basis instead of imposing cardinal rules. Both parents are open to possibilities of their kids entering showbiz as Yohan and Lucho are showing signs already.

Celebrity couple Regine Tolentino and Lander Vera-Perez will be awarded as the Golden Couple of the Year as their relationship is one of the perfect examples of a relationship that withstood trials and emerged stronger after the storm. Actress and dancing diva felt love at first sight for his on-screen partner Lander Vera-Perez, who was a heartthrob then. But the on-screen love team became a real life relationship. They are blessed with two daughters Azucena Reigne and Alessandra Reigen.

Queen of all media Kris Aquino’s son James “Bimby” Aquino Yap and Little Miss Philippines 2012 Ryzza Mae Dizon will be crowned as this year’s Golden Kids. Following the footsteps of his mom, Bimby is now very active in showbiz print and television commercials plus with an upcoming movie together with award-winning child actress Ryzza, who have been on demand ever since she won in the noon-time show pageant for her unique wit. Currently, she hosts her own show.

Celebrity parents will also be present during the expo to give inspirational talks. Host, author, columnist & Mercato founder RJ Ledesma will share tips on Daddy 101.
