I had the honor to meet Mrs. Celestino a couple of times through a really good friend Arnel Celestino.. she was a very sweet and kind lady and we had a whole conversation in Spanish which I thought that was pretty cool. We talked as if we knew each other for years and I felt very comfortable with her. My heart goes out to The Celestino family🌹🌹, till you meet again 🙏 sincerely, Rose Casanova

I remember those days when she would call me so frequently and order Filipino dishes to bring to them so Papa and her can enjoy them. " Lordes, Bring me grilled pompano or make it pakshew' I though she is cursing at me :) and then i realized what she meant and she meant PAKSIW a filipino dish. I love you Mommy Inday .
I remember when I was little my mom would be eating a filipino food/dessert she would say 'It does not taste good' . I would simply say 'Ok'.I still love my mom.
