Danica Sotto marks mom Dina Bonnevie’s 60th birthday


Danica Sotto marked the special day of her mother Dina Bonnevie, who turned 60 on Thursday, January 27.



On Instagram, Danica shared a photo of herself with her mother and brother Oyo Boy Sotto.

“I thank the Lord for giving us a strong, brave, and beautiful Mama like you. Happy Birthday Ma! We love you so much!” she wrote.

She tagged her mother, before adding the hashtag #StillFabAt60.

Last May, Danica also paid tribute to her mother for teaching her how to be strong and courageous in life.

“Strong, smart and beautiful. That’s our Mama. We would often have misunderstandings when I was a teenager because I didn’t like her rules and didn’t understand her way of discipline. Feeling ko she was too strict. Sabi ko, old school na yan,” she said.

“Little did I know that her pieces of advice would one day be my guide. I’m thankful because she has taught us how to be strong. Of course she’s not a perfect Mom, she also has her shortcomings but she did her best in raising us. When I feel challenged sa parenting, sa business at iba pa, I can actually hear her voice in my head… pinapalakas ang loob ko. I’m happy that I’m able to apply everything that she has taught me. ‘Yung disiplina ng isang iba or magulang ay para sa ating mga anak yun. We may not understand at first but it will all make sense when we get older. More so when you become a parent. You’ll know how much they sacrificed because they love you.”

Danica and Oyo are Dina’s kids with her former husband, Vic Sotto.

Dina has since remarried—first to businessman Ricardo Penson, then to her current husband, politician Deogracias Victor Savellano.
