A Tribute to Filipino Dads

All dads are not the same. Some lead with quiet strength, others with humor and warmth. Some step into the role by blood, others by bond, circumstance, or choice. But no matter the path, one thing remains constant: they show up.

And showing up is not just about being physically present. It is about being there in the ways that matter most. Dads offer support, guidance, provision, and encouragement in both the big and the everyday moments.

This Father’s Day, LAC Philippines honors the everyday resilience, presence, and heart of Filipino fathers. Behind every quiet ride home, “hold the flashlight” moment, and silent passing of the remote on movie nights is a story of a man choosing to be there. Fatherhood is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It is a lifelong promise shaped by love and grounded in purpose. LAC Philippines believes that every father’s journey deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated.

Stories of Modern Fatherhood

Ryan Araña: From Courtside to Family Time

For Ryan Araña, fatherhood is the most fulfilling role he has embraced, far greater than any championship or title from his years on the court. A former pro basketball player, Ryan now pours his energy into the everyday wins of family life with his wife, son, and daughter. Off the court, he stays active and involved, showing up not just as a provider but as a present and intentional dad, especially in the small, meaningful moments, such as family trips.

“I want to age with my kids, not behind them,” Ryan shares. “That’s why I train for the future that I want to live with them,” a future powered by routine, rest, and the right wellness support.

Sphenzer Haskins: A Brother Who Became a Father Figure

For Sphenzer Haskins, fatherhood came through love and necessity. After college, he naturally assumed the role of a guiding presence for his siblings, supporting his single mother while building his career as a financial advisor and content creator.

Embracing life’s responsibilities with quiet strength and optimism, he leads with purpose and balance. Whether offering advice or making memories on trips with them, his family always comes first.

“It’s always better to enjoy your blessings with your family,” he reflects. “But you have to make sure you’re saving a little care for yourself, too.” Through it all, he stays grounded by self-care, knowing that nurturing others begins with nurturing oneself.

DJ Perez: A Fur Dad with a Full Heart

Then there is DJ Perez, whose story shows that fatherhood is not defined by who you raise, but how you love. As a Sales Director, DJ balances a dynamic career with life shared with his partner, Wisely, and their two dogs: Boochie, a French Bulldog, and Dior, a Pomeranian.

From global travels to late-night festivals, a DJ’s lifestyle is fast and full of movement. “Staying healthy isn’t just a goal for me, it’s how I show up for the ones I love,” he shares.

As a fur dad, DJ lives out fatherhood through daily presence. Whether it’s taking them out for walks, going on adventures, or simply sharing quiet time at home, his love is shown through his consistency in being there.

A Reminder for Moms

This Father’s Day, let us take a moment to celebrate the dads who make a difference in our lives and the lives of our children. Whether they are raising kids, mentoring siblings, or caring for pets like family, their presence makes a difference.

Their health matters too, and the ways they take care of themselves are part of how they take care of us.

Let us honor them with recognition, support, and love for all the ways they lead, care, and stay present.
