                    [Summary] => We have several days a year that at some time or other were designated as Mother’s Day, but Mother’s Day is celebrated by only a few families. The truth is that both Mother and Father’s Days were not celebrated during the Spanish period of our history. It was the province of Ilocos Norte that initiated a demand for an annual Mother’s Day celebration. The Ilocos Norte Women’s Club asked the American Governor-General to designate an annual date for a Mother’s Day celebration.
