In Letters to My Children, these respected personalities shed the trappings of their public roles and get candid as parents, telling their children to discover their strengths, cultivate their wisdom, know the power of words, face the challenges they encounter, value their loved ones, and just be true to themselves, because who they are is already enough.

Letters to My Children is now available in newsstands, bookstores, convenience stores, and supermarkets nationwide for P295. It is a fitting Christmas gift for any parent who will surely recognize in themselves that boundless love radiated by the book’s writers, and for any child lucky enough to experience that boundless love.
