No greater love can be felt than an unconditional love given by a father ─ our knight in shining armor.

As the first ones to stand-up and applaud us for every achievement we have won for ourselves, our fathers aren't just the foundation of the home we live in. Their love will forever be the foundations of our very being, our will to persevere, and our motivation to create a path for ourselves.

Celebrating our father's love and undying dedication, The Monitor presents a special feature article and video presentation ─ a toast to our knights in shining armor.

𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 | Discovering Dad
by Arianne Jasmeen Bitoon

“Any man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.”

I never felt the need for a father. My mom raised me by herself and it was the best thing I could ask for. We played with my favorite toys, she taught me how to dress, and even watched Barbie movies with me. It was a perfect girl's land for a little daughter like me. 7 years ago.

Everything changed when my mom found a stepdad for me. I didn't know how to react at all because it's a new thing having a fellow at home. It worried me too because my mom's attention would be shared by both of us. I just had mixed emotions. On the other hand, I was quite excited. I have a father now, we'll do things a father and a daughter do. What do they do? Will I have to play with airplanes now?

Apparently, I didn't have to. Dad taught me to ride a bike with no training wheels. I was really excited to learn but that experience made me feel tormented on the inside. The bumpy roads and numerous people were really alarming when I first tried. Dad always enunciated to just keep pedaling to maintain balance so I wouldn't fall. Fortunately, it ended well for the both of us. A few bits of scars to heal and tires to patch, but it was worth it. Our trust formed a knot that day.

I occasionally ponder on the thought of him being a merman. Dad is not frightened of the water. He was effortlessly jumping and diving into the cold and deep ocean. We even went kayaking and got blown to the middle of the sea. I tried to stay calm but I know my face was freaked out. Then, he swooped in with the control and got around the shore safely despite the approaching wind. Water adventures with Dad are always unique and fun. We went scuba diving, cliff jumping, and many more kayaks.

Besides being a merman, he’s a great chef. Even when having a business that takes up most of his time, he will always leave an hour for cooking. Dad loves to cook, he even makes his yogurt and it tastes splendid. I would always enjoy his dishes and new recipes. He would always put together new cuisines and introduce them during family occasions. This showed that he had a passion in life despite being easygoing.

Right now, I know what it’s like to have a dad and the need to have one. The trust, jokes, and adventure are what make up this amazing man. I was brightened by a different perspective on family and having someone to have new tales with. Being a dad is also not just about biology, but the mutual love and respect you share. These experiences wouldn’t be the same without him. The love and patience he pours into my life everyday just made me love him even more. The joy he brings to the room and the qualities I am inspired to have are why I am deeply grateful to the dad who stepped into my life — opening me to a world of new possibilities.

𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗠𝗡 | Alice Guo: Conflicting Statements and Doubtful Origins

Chinese spy, wolf in sheep’s clothing, innocent and simply hapless – who exactly is Alice Guo?

According to her, she is a woman of humble origins. The product of an illicit love affair between a Chinese man and his Filipino housemaid, named Angelito Guo and Amelia Leal Guo respectively. Guo was raised in seclusion on her father’s pig farm, which led to her being homeschooled. Now a businesswoman, she became the mayor of Bamban on June 30, 2022.

But this seeming rags-to-riches story falls apart when examined.

Guo has been implicated in a series of raids in Bamban on a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) base, used by Hongsheng Gaming Technology, Inc., and Zun Yuan Technology Inc.. The POGO was raided due to participation in cryptocurrency scams and human trafficking. Guo had approved Hongsheng’s license, which set up its headquarters right behind the municipal hall. Several of Guo’s business associates, of varying nationalities, were listed as incorporators of Baofu Land Development, which owned the property wherein the POGO compound was located.

In a Senate inquiry launched in May 2024, Senator Risa Hontiveros began probing Guo for details concerning her Filipino citizenship. When questioned, Guo was unable to recall her childhood address or her homeschool provider. Her birth record was filed seventeen years after the fact, and despite insistence on being an only child, two of her siblings were uncovered, both of which she has travel records with.

Suspicion abounds not only among the Senate, but also online, as numerous posts – both speculative and humorous – emerge. The possibility of her being a Chinese spy – or “asset," as Hontiveros puts it – is just one guess among hundreds about Guo’s true identity.

We must consider the ramifications of this proving true. What does it say about the security of our country, about the security of our own elections, that a non-Filipino could implant themselves so easily into politics?

And, more importantly, what would this spell for Philippines-China relations in the future? Recent clashes in the WPS have shaken already unstable ground and this would only cause further fissures.

All in all, the nature of Alice Guo’s identity remains elusive. It is a mystery that even she herself can not solve, forever stuttering through the same script when interrogated. It leaves us all wondering – who exactly is Alice Guo?

𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗥𝗬 | A Mother’s Love

Our mothers are definitely one of the priceless gifts we have ─ with their endless strength and unconditional love, they are truly a gem that shines beyond the limits of time and circumstances.
