DARAGA, Albay – Dona Marie Marcayda-Loveres, 39, can still vividly recall the most precious Mother's Day gift she received from her sons in 2020.

"My two boys, ages 8 and 9 at the time, came to me with a handwritten card and two makeshift envelopes, their edges carefully secured with tape," she said. "As I opened them, I discovered money neatly folded inside the bond paper. They had willingly given me their savings as a gift so I could buy food for them."
