Being a mother is indeed one of the best and, at the same time, the most challenging thing that can ever happen in a woman’s life. While motherhood provides a sense of fulfillment and pride to be able to nurture a child and give everything that he/she needs until he/she can fend for him/herself, it also teaches women a lot of things that they may or may not know about themselves.And as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let’s find out what being a mother has taught the celebrity moms featured in this special feature.She may be doing a great job of being a single careerwo-mom to her unica hija Ceana in the past 13 years, but Vina Morales believes that she’s still indeed a work in progress. She still strives to become a better mom and to give her best to her beloved daughter, which has always been her goal ever since giving birth to her in 2009.For <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/cantbuymelove" target="_blank">Can’t Buy Me Love</a> actress Ruffa Gutierrez motherhood has taught her to give everything for her children Lorin and Venice. Ever since having them, she learned that her life is not entirely about her anymore because everything is already all about them. Thus, moms like her should accept that they have to endure hardships and make sacrifices in order for their children to achieve the success that they also wish for them.Being a mom to her and Billy Crawford’s firstborn Amari has made Coleen Garcia realize that it’s a commitment that she can never run away from because it has no day offs, “pass,” no tap-out. “It really taught me the valuable lesson of just pushing forward and just doing it. Doing it and not giving up,” she stated.With everything that she underwent throughout her motherhood journey, Pokwang said that those challenges and experiences made her realize how limitless and super territorial she actually is. She conveyed, “Nang naging nanay ako, parang hindi n’yo kami pwedeng lamangan. Especially, don’t mess with my children.”Before becoming a mom, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/magandangbuhay" target="_blank">Magandang Buhay</a> host Melai Cantiveros confessed that she actually used to believe that she was a coward. However, she’s able to discover how strong and courageous she really is as she goes on with her motherhood journey. She is surprised by the amount of strength she has that enabled her to bear the physical pain caused by giving birth to her daughters Mela and Stela, as well as the emotional hurt inflicted by the fights and misunderstandings she sometimes has with her husband Jason Francisco. According to her, it’s because she always has their children’s welfare in mind.Seasoned actress Ana Roces got also surprised that she ended up doing the things that she thought she couldn’t do or she never imagined that she was capable of doing when she was still a lady when she became a mother. She has realized that she can do anything and everything for her children in order to give them the best future that they can ever have. “There are a lot of sacrifices that a mom goes through just to raise your children, to send them to school, to make sure na makapagtapos sila nang maayos because it’s a never-ending sacrifice,” she said, clarifying that those sacrifices are not just in a bad way, but in a good way as well because of her love for her children.And lastly, Regine Tolentino enthused about how motherhood has proven that women are so great because of the amazing power that we possess. It truly astonishes her how we are capable of giving birth to a child, gaining a lot of weight because of it, then losing loads of weight, as well as nurturing that child until adulthood. “Basically, the power of being a mom is so amazing for me,” she uttered.
