Maymay Entrata took to Instagram to greet and honor her mother Lorna Entrata, who's an overseas Filipino worker (OFW).
"Happy Birthday mama," Maymay wrote in the caption of her January 17, 2023 post showing what appears a recent photo of them together, tagging Lorna.
Maymay went on sharing how Lorna meant to her: "Ikaw po ang pinakamalaking inspirasyon ko kung bakit nalalampasan ko bawat pagsubok bilang isang breadwinner.
"Inay kita pero ikaw pa yung nahihiyang humingi ng tulong mula sa akin. Kaya mas lalo akong nagaganahan ibigay po sayo lahat kasi na a-appreciate mo po lahat ng pinaghirapan ko."
She pointed out, "Wala sa katiting ang pinaghirapan ko sa pinagdaanan mo ma, kaya habang buhay ako saludo at nagpapasalamat sa Panginoon na may ina/ama akong tulad mong mapagmahal, malakas ang loob at mapagpatawad. Mahal na mahal kita ma, Happy Birthday."
Maymay's earlier posts show her latest trip to Japan, where she and her brother Vincent apparently spent the holidays with their mother Lorna.
Lorna, on the other hand, posted on January 12 reels of how she and her older children bonded in Japan.
"I love you, 'Nak," she said about her daughter. "Everytime you say goodbye, it's really [crying emojis]."
Maymay replied in the comments section with her characteristic humorous way: "It's really ano, Ma, tapusin mo ang English mo [tears of joy emoji]."
Lorna then replied: "[crying emoji] It's gonna be sad [crying emoji], but we know it's gonna be [thumbs up emoji] okay [tears of joy emoji] love you, Nak [smiling face with three hearts emoji]."
Back in July 2021, Maymay said in her interview with the ABS-CBN morning talk show Magandang Buhay that she gave her mother a house in Japan a few years earlier.
The Cagayan de Oro native first revealed in an episode of the reality competition show Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7, which she won in 2017, that her mother had to work in Japan after her father left them. She and her brother then grew up with their grandparents.
