In TFT’s interview with baby Calyx’s mom, Jamie Ramos shared that the she finds the netizens’ reaction overwhelming and heart-warming.
“We didn’t expect po kasi na magiging viral siya. Although nung jeepney driver concept medyo madami na din po talagang natuwa kay Calyx, pero ‘di lang din po talaga namin in-expect na this time sa magtataho, sobrang dami ng mas makaka-appreciate po sa kanya,” said Jamie.
Photos of Baby Calyx as a ‘taho’ vendor during his 11-month milestone posted last May 16.
When asked how they choose the theme for their monthly shoots, Jamie shared that they initially started with Calyx posing as a BTS Army fan but eventually figured a way to honor our hardworking laborers.
“For the concept, first it was because of my love for BTS, but along the way, nag-isip po ako ng something unique, pero at the same time, ‘di kailangan gumastos ng mahal. That time, na-realize ko na maraming driver yung naapektuhan ng pandemic. So, doon nag-start ‘yung concept ng manggagawang Pilipino; to cheer them up and also to acknowledge their hardwork po,” said Jamie.
Baby Calyx’s parents said that they have no particular profession in mind for their child when he grows up but will surely support him whatever career he chooses.
“My only dream for him is to be happy and healthy, specially with our current situation. Para sa amin, maging healthy and safe siya, ok na po. And with regards po sa magiging profession nya paglaki, its up to him po. We will wholeheartedly support him kahit ano pong piliin nya, basta nasa tama po,” said Jamie.
