Why Jolina Magdangal Says She Owes Her Daughter Vika

When a working mom like Jolina Magdangal gets busy, she knows she “owes” her daughter, Vika, some quality time.

As a celebrity content creator, Jolina Magdangal needs to always have her phone and computer to produce entertaining content for us moms and dads. And on the days she doesn’t post anything new, it’s because she’s paying off another debt: a debt that she owes her daughter, Vika, to spend time with her. Even when it’s raining cats and dogs, she tries her best not to skip.

“Dami kong utang kay Vika na pasyal dahil sa araw-araw na malakas ang pag ulan,” Jolina laughs. “Eto, hindi ko na pinalagpas!”

Double Purpose: Paying a debt with an advanced birthday celebration

When schedules and the weather refuse to cooperate, sometimes, we have to make it happen. And what better way to force schedules to cooperate than to use our birthday? Because our birthdays sometimes fall on the most inconvenient of days, we decide on celebrating them in advance by having an impromptu trip out of town! The best part is, Jolina Magdangal gets to see a big smile light up her daughter’s face, especially when she now finally has her mom’s 100% attention.

Even the rain can’t ruin a mom’s best advanced birthday gift!

Although it’s been pouring cats and dogs for the past few days, there will always be opportunities to bond with our kids indoors. Sometimes, we can get into imaginary play with a bit of roughhousing. And despite having all the money in the world to buy toys for them, what our kids always want is to just spend time with us. Just like how Jolina Magdangal knew that her daughter, Vika, wanted to spend time with her.
