Toblerone honors 'other mothers'

MANILA, Philippines - Every second Sunday of May has been solely dedicated to pay tribute to our moms. But what about those we consider our second moms—the women who have shown support and quiet strength all those years we were growing up?

Over the years, we have encountered women whom we’ve come to regard as our second moms. And in its drive to celebrate the art of saying thank you –especially to the unsung everyday Filipino hero – Toblerone, the well-loved triangular Swiss chocolate, believes that Mother’s Day is the perfect time to give them something one-of-a-kind.

“Other mothers” to whom we should all extend the sweetness of gratitude include your grandmother, the mom who always saw you as a child and never stopped giving you advice.

There’s the “Tita” who would usually stop your mom from continuously scolding you and would then calmly talk to you about your mom just being concerned about your safety.

How about the motherly mentor at work who may constantly put pressure on you and push you to be at your best all the time. But you know it’s for your own professional and personal growth.

What about your teacher? Despite those times she gave you the hardest exam, it eventually paid off.

And don’t forget your yaya, who, whenever you got scolded was wrapping your tiny arms around her waist and wetting her dress with your tears. Now that you’re all grown up and you still see her washing your clothes and preparing your meals, you know she deserves something special.

Toblerone will be honoring the unsung heroes of our everyday lives in a big celebration on October 20. In the meantime, make Mothers’ Day extra special for them by thanking them with Triangles. Thank them with Toblerone.
