Former Unang Hirit host Jolina Magdangal and husband Mark Escueta are among the celebrity couples who are hands-on when it comes to parenting.
Jolina and Mark got married in November 2011. More than a year after, they were blessed with their little bundle of joy in Pele Inigo Escueta.
The celebrity couple shared with Unang Hirit the origin of their baby’s name.
“Naghahanap ako ng name na ‘yung meaning niya miracle. Wala akong makita. Nag-search ako ng ibang languages. ‘Yun pala sa Hebrew, Pele 'yung miracle. Mahilig din ako sa football, parang dalawang reasons na ‘yun,” Daddy Mark said referring to the widely-known Brazilian football player.
“Napili ko kasi gusto ko parang bagay sa Escueta. Spanish, Brazilian ganyan. Parang 'pag tinawag ang sosyal, 'Iho, iho halika,' mga ganun,” Mommy Jolina said on choosing the name Inigo.
To make sure they don't miss any moment with their baby boy, they use the hashtag #Peleserye in their posts. At the same time, their followers also get to be updated on the little adventures of Pele.
Mark shared a few feedbacks from their followers, “’Yung babies nila ayaw maligo, [nung nakita] ‘yung video na naliligo si Pele, naligo na rin sila.”
“May video siyang umiinom ng gamot, pinapakita nila sa anak nila 'Oh si Pele umiinom ng gamot',” he continued.
What are their wishes for baby Pele?
For Mark: “’Yung communication namin with him is very natural. [Sana] maging honest siya sa amin kasi kung ano gusto niya, siyempre susuportahan namin.”
For Jolina: “Ako ang lagi kong pinagpre-pray, sana lumaki siya na maging isang mabait na bata. Alam ko wala naman perfect pero gusto namin maging almost perfect parents para sa kanya.”
