“Congratulations po sa mga nanalo at sa lahat ng mga sumali. Ito pong contest na ito ay bilang pagpupugay sa ating mga nanay na kahit na nasa gitna tayo ng pandemya ay hindi tumitigil sa pag-aalaga at pagsisilbi sa atin. Isang simpleng ‘I love you’ lang galing sa atin, siguradong kumpleto na ang Mother’s Day ni nanay,” the millennial councilor said.

Caloocan Mayor OCA Malapitan lauded Hernandez’s Tiktok Challenge. “Malaking bagay itong ginawa ng ating milenyal na konsehal Vince Hernandez dahil itinataas nito ang moral ng ating mga nanay ngayong panahon ng pandemya,” said Malapitan.

Mayor Oca said around 1,500 Tiktoker Mothers had submitted their entries.
