They got a shoutout from their loving partners no less.
This Father's day, Japeth Aguilar is away from his family as he embarks on the FIBA World Cup journey of the Gilas Pilipinas pool, who are in Laguna as part of their training camp. Japeth's wife, Cassie, and son, Jasiah Matthias, of courses misses his presence at home.
It’s not gloomy, however, as Mommy and Baby Aguilar are in good spirits as evidenced by their upbeat video tribute to the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel big man, posted on Instagram on Sunday.
“We appreciate everything you do for us and we are blessed to have you,” the caption wrote.
The video, which was uploaded through an IG page for the child, shows Japeth doing various activities with the one-year-old boy, from swimming, playing in the playground and courts, to singing lullaby.
“I love play time, working out, and swimming with you,” the caption of the post dedicated to Japeth added.
Another PBA veteran and Ginebra hooper in Jared Dillinger won’t be outdone.
In a video posted by Dillinger’s beloved, Angela Lehmann, the PBA’s Daredevil is seen hands-on in taking care of their now four-month old child.
The swingman was doing all sorts of daddy moves like cradling the baby to sleep, making him burp, and walking him around. Jared even got in on what seems to be a work call while having the baby on a carrier.
“I still remember when we first found out that I was pregnant, I immediately wished that it’s a boy so that I can have one exactly like you,” Lehmann wrote as a dedication to Dillinger. “You’re such an awesome person.”
Now, aspiring fathers and young boys have two more additional models they can take after.
Happy Father's Day!
