As Mother’s Day approaches, local rising stars Kai Montinola and Jarren Garcia are choosing thoughtful and personal gifts to honor the women who raised them.
Kai Montinola, who gained popularity through Pinoy Big Brother: Gen 11, has often spoken about the deep bond she shares with her adoptive mother, Flora Montinola. Known for her quiet strength and simple elegance, Flora has always been a key figure in Kai’s life. “For Mother’s Day, I got her a pair of loose square pants, perfect for chill days,” Kai shared. “I’m also planning to get her a small Longchamp bag.” Among the brand’s latest releases, standout options include the Épure XS Tote in brown and the Le Roseau XS Handbag in beetroot.
Meanwhile, singer Jarren Garcia, best known for his hit single “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme,” is preparing a cozy and stylish gift for his mother, Jhoann Garcia. “I’m planning on getting my mum a cozy jumper,” he said. “She adores them, especially for those chilly London days.” Jarren is also considering jewelry to complete the surprise. “Maybe something with crystals, as I know she’d love that,” he added. The extra touch of sparkle shows his desire to make the day truly special.
Both Kai and Jarren are keeping their gifts simple but meaningful, showing how a personal touch can speak volumes on a day dedicated to love and gratitude.
