In a rare and perfect moment — just days before the Feast of Her Apparition on December 12 — I finally visited La Virgen de Guadalupe.
For those who truly know me, you know how deep my Marian devotion runs.
It’s not my first time in Mexico City, but this is the first time I’ve ever been this close to the Blessed Mother.
Nakakaiyak. Nakakagaan ng loob. A moment I’ll keep forever. 💙✨
The Philippines and Mexico share a bond deeper than most people realize.
We were once a province under New Spain, and Our Lady of Guadalupe was declared the Heavenly Patroness of the Philippines by Pope Pius XI.
Kaya siguro ramdam ko — kahit nasa Mexico ako, parang umuwi din ako.
Grateful. Guided. Protected.
Gracias, Madre. 🇲🇽🙏🇵🇭
