Your love simply makes everything better. ♥️”</p><p>His heartfelt post acknowledged all the love that his mom has given the family all these years. “Thank you for the sleepless nights, the sacrifices you never spoke of, and the unconditional love that never wavered even when I didn’t deserve it… You are the heart of our family, the soul of our home, and the greatest blessing I’ve ever known.”</p><p>He continued: “You are the hardest working, kindest &amp; most loving person in this world. She is what we call ‘HOME’ and she is the glue that holds and keeps this family together. Her patience, understanding, guidance, and perseverance are just a few of many things that describes this wonderful human being. God fearing and a child of God. “</p><p>Mavy also made sure to celebrate the beauty of his mom, both inside and out. “50 doesn’t suit you because you honestly look 21… I mean, when we all travel they always mistaken you as our sister! But cheers to 5 beautiful decades of success, tears, love, faith and dedication- the dedication to being the best actress and mother you could ever be. Cheers to you today and always.“</p><p>He ended his post with a sweet line from Robert Munsch’s “Love You Forever”, a well-loved children’s book that spoke of the unbreakable bond between mother and son. “I’ll love you forever, I’ll love you for always. For as long as I’m living, my momma you’ll be. 🥂”</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-22" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-wb_H2TH3p/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A22%2C%22os%22%3A13972757.80000019%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="846" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-22" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2022/9/3/fresh-scoops/mavy-legaspi-thanks-kyline-alcantara-on-her-19th-b-202152"><strong><u>READ: Mavy Legaspi thanks Kyline Alcantara on her 19th birthday: ‘Thank you for coming into my life’</u></strong></a></div><p>For his mom’s birthday post last year, Mavy shared a powerful black and white photo of Carmina in a fashion pictorial, and included photos from her teenage days as a commercial model.

Last year, he defended her from netizens, stating how there is no need for her or their family to fight back or dignify themselves, when the public doesn’t really get to see the more personal side of his mother. </p>
