+ Follow BESSIE BAUTISTA LEGARDA Tag
On her own she was a celebrity of sorts. She was the mother of a popular broadcaster but when she died, Bessie Bautista Legarda was a star in her own right. From her heart came her drawing power. Her wake at the Santuario de San Antonio six years ago was abloom with friends of all political colors and social shapes and sizes. You knew they were there for her, for what she was to them.
No matter how blackened the image of the Senate is at the moment, Loren Legarda seems above it all and remains one of the most beloved and accomplished senators of this republic. But even if she’s now flying high in the field of politics, her image as a child of television still remains etched in the mind of the public.

The month of October reminds me of one special occasion and one very special person: the Breast Cancer Awareness Month and my dear mother, the late Bessie Bautista Legarda. We used to celebrate my mom’s birthday every 22nd of October until she succumbed to breast cancer in 1996.
