“What a beautiful blessing on the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.

Iwa also revealed that baby CJ actually came out earlier than expected.

“My pregnancy wasn't easy -- in fact, it is still not time for him to come out just yet, but I guess baby CJ is so excited to see and conquer the outside world. Such a warrior just like me, isn't he? ”

“Thank you to our medical team headed by Dra. Villanueva, to our families and friends for including us in your prayers, to my mahal Pampi, it is such a bliss having you by my side on this new journey of ours.

“And above all else, thank You to our Almighty God for the amazing blessing and for keeping me and baby CJ safe throughout the delivery.

“Everyone, meet our healthy little warrior, CALEB JIRO IWAMOTO LACSON️ #01212021”
