Mom’s the word in People Asia

• This Mother’s Day month, PEOPLE Asia reveals a few things your mom never told you about. Hear why it took mom-to-be Donita Rose some time to get used to the idea of being pregnant, and how motherhood transforms your purchasing habits forever; learn why high-flying cover model Michelle Quizon still calls Dolphy the best lolo a girl could have; and read about former President Joseph Estrada’s fondest birthday wish for his 99-year-old mom.

Also check in with famed concert pianist Cecile Licad as she wows Manila crowds once again; take an eye-popping look at the Viva Hot Men; and hop a bangka to Puerto Galera with up-and-coming model Bianca Fernandez.

Our special "Mothers" section profiles motherly namesakes such as hairstyling mogul Ricky Reyes (known to his many client as "Mother") and Regal Films matriarch "Mother Lily" Yu-Monteverde. We look at moms who are both creative and caring, such as CRIBS (Creating Responsive Infants By Sharing) president Cecilia "CB" Garrucho, children’s room artist Chona Caedo and children’s book author Heidi Abad.

We round out our May issue with a profile of Philips president Alan Sparks and an amazing shopping spree in Thailand. All a part of what makes PEOPLE Asia part of your world. Pick up a copy at newsstands now.
