Frankie Pangilinan posts a tribute for her father, Senator Kiko Pangilinan.
Celebrity daughter Frankie Pangilinan once again made a statement about her father Senator Kiko Pangilinan in one of her recent posts.
This time, Frankie, shared that she has been thinking of Senator Kiko in her heartfelt message for the latter.
Accompanied by a throwback photo of the both of them, she wrote, "It's not Father's Day, but I'm thinking of you.
"There is a picture in my mind of you in the sala, sipping your morning coffee over the paper with your folders and files stacked neatly somewhere nearby.
"I am unsure if you've already discovered the empty space on your shelf and deduced which book I managed to steal over Christmas (it's Axelrod's Profiles in Audacity, sorry), but your mind has been filled with other things, so I'll let it slide."
In the letter, Frankie also talked about how "people are cruel, the world is beginning to suffocate, there are more days now when the bad seem to heavily outweigh the good."
But if she's learned from her father, it's that, “I have learned immensely from your resilience and your continued dedication.”
"While some it may appear futile, to you, it has never been worthless," she added.
Frankie also told Sen. Kiko of how proud she is of him. “I find there are less and less words to describe how wholly and completely proud I am of you. I haven't yet said it so loudly due to misplaced anxieties and fear of unease.”
Meanwhile, in February, Frankie, who is the eldest daughter of Megastar Sharon Cuneta and Senator Kiko, admits to feeling guilty about being being born into a wealthy family.
It was because of her “Parasite” comment that she received backlash from netizens.

As for that, she vowed to make herself a useful and responsible woman in consideration of all the privilege she's blessed with.
“Look the guilt eats away at me everyday and I can't do anything about it right now, but I do know it's pushing me and I promise I'm working hard and doing my best to make myself not be a waste of the advantages I was born into.
“I don't know how to apologize for that. But sorry anyway,” she said.
