Moms and Dads

GP Reyes: “My Girls Deserve Love 24/365.”

GP Reyes raises the bar for girl dads once again with a sweet-smelling surprise for his girls this Valentine’s Day.

Girl dads are always looking for a way to raise the standard for their daughters on Valentine’s Day. Especially when someone like night club mogul and modern-day girl dad GP Reyes is too familiar with the tricks of the trade, he’s making sure that the standards set will give the boys who may one day date his daughters a challenging time. All four ladies of Casa Manzano-Reyes received a bouquet and a personalized letter from GP, which makes it so much sweeter.

Andi’s Bouquet

Celebrity content creator Andi Manzano received a fluffy bouquet filled with magenta-colored carnations of two variations, white pompoms, and lavender roses. His letter writes, “As I say every year, on the 14th of February, millions and millions of women all over the world will receive flowers like these on Valentine’s Day. Which is why I send these to you today because not a single one of those millions can even hold a candle to the amazing wife, mother, and woman you are.”

Interesting tidbit: did you know that carnations have a variety of meanings? If they’re dark red, it means deep love. For purple, it means excitement for another adventure, which will be for Andi and GP when their new little girl joins the family.

Olivia’s Bouquet

Olivia is growing up and no dad will forget their very first princess. This is why it’s quite expected for GP’s letter to his firstborn to be a little light-hearted but also beaming with pride at how much she’s grown.

We know he’s joking. But we also know that jokes are half-meant. Somehow, when men become girl dads, they suddenly have a collection of firearms in their closets. And they’ll stick to this story, especially when their daughters start dating.

Amelia’s Bouquet

Little Amelia recently turned four and the soon-to-be older sister also received a bouquet from her dad. It was quite a delightful surprise for the former bunso of Casa Manzano-Reyes as GP mentioned how excited he was to see her become “the big sister she always wished to be.”

GP Reyes: “My girls deserve more than just a single day to celebrate love.”

Valentine’s Day may emphasize on romantic love, but there’s no rule saying that dads can’t celebrate their love for their daughters. Dads nowadays are known and are even encouraged to take their daughters out on dates. It’s a bonding moment daughters will never forget, especially when they grow up and start — as GP says — “receiving flowers from guys other than their father.” Besides, for dads, they say it helps “weed out” the unworthy ones. Or, the ones, in GP’s words, who aren’t as “cool as dad.”
