As we celebrate mother's day, let us reflect on how a mother becomes an important contributor for the benefit of the society.
The quote clearly states that we need good mommies in order to build a good nation. And as women to be called the "world's mightiest force" in molding the minds of good people, it is not enough to thank them just for being the "ilaw ng tahanan".
I guess that is the reason why there is an existence of terms such as "Mother Nature" and "Inang Bayan" -- to pay tribute to all good mothers who have been the instrument of a virtuous society.
As the famous line goes, "everything starts at home". And it begins with the mother.
