Quezon City vice mayor Gian Sotto admitted that he terribly misses his mom and he feels sad that he's unable to spend her special with her, because of the enhanced community quarantine.

He even described his mom as the "most beautiful mother" in the whole world.

"Happy Birthday Ma! Sobrang miss na miss ko na po kayo! It breaks my heart, that I can't celebrate your Birthday with you because of the Quarantine. 🧎🏻‍♂️

"Pero walang makakapigil sa akin na isigaw sa buong mundo, na Mahal na Mahal ko po kayo! At araw araw po akong nagpapasalamat sa Diyos, for blessing me with the most Beautifullest of all, the Perfect Model of Ageless Beauty, my Bestest Mother in the whole wide world!"
