Comedienne Pokwang took to social media to congratulate her daughter, Ria Mae Subong, who recently graduated from college.
Through an Instagram post, Pokwang shared a series of photos of her and Subong who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts from Enderun Colleges on Sunday, July 1.
The Kapamilya comedienne said in her post that seeing her daughter march to receive her diploma on stage is one of her happiest moments as a mother.
“Hindi ka naman ibon, anak, pero ihahalintulad kita kagaya ng isang inakay na ibon. Inalalayan kita at inalagaan hanggang sa tuluyan kang mahubog pati ang iyong pangarap at kinabukasan.
“Bukod sa kaligayahang dulot mo nang isilang kita, ito ang isa sa pinaka masayang araw para sa ‘kin bilang isang ina.
“Lipad, anak, abutin mo ang pangarap mo ng buong tapang at may pananalig sa Diyos. Nandito lang ako, anak, aalalay sa ‘yo sa mga pangarap mo,” writes Pokwang.
She ended her post by congratulating her daughter and telling her that “she is the wind beneath her wings.”
Subong is Pokwang’s daughter from a previous relationship. She has another daughter, Malia Francine, with current partner, American actor Lee O’Brian.
