Juan Marasigan Feleo, better known as Johnny Delgado, may have passed away years ago but it seems like the memory he has left to daughters Ana and Ina has remained the same.

On their respective Instagram accounts, the Feleo sisters recalled fond memories they shared with their dad.

Ana, along with a video of her dad, wrote the caption, “The older I get the more I long for your presence and your advice.

“I see so much of you (the good and bad) in me now that I am much older.

“You have an imperfect firstborn-- someone who is sensitive, sometimes too much of a pleaser, gullible, non-communicative and proud. You were very hard and strict with me. Wala kang binibigay na hindi ko pinaghirapan kahit nuong maliit pa ako.

“Kahit most of the time matigas ang ulo ko, binigyan mo ako ng angkla na 'di kailanman mawawala.

“Sa lahat ng importanteng disisyon ko sa buhay, laging nasa likod ng isip ko, 'Pasado kaya ito kay daddy?'

“Madalas kitang kausap ngayon. Sampung taon na pero tuwing kausap kita, bumabalik ako sa pagiging 9 years old.

“Kung nasaan ka man, sana hawak hawak mo pa rin ang kamay ko. Mahal na mahal kita, Daddy.”

The older I get, the more I long for your presence and your advice. I see so much of you (the good and bad) in me now that I am much older. Kung mayroon man akong narealize ngayong ginugunita kita, yun ay ang mas naiintindihan ko na ang mga naging diskarte mo sa buhay, at sa pamilya natin. You have an imperfect first born-- someone who is sensitive, sometimes too much of a pleaser, gullible, non-communicative and proud. Siguro medyo kinabahan ka nung maliit pa ako kung paano ako lalaki at haharap sa mundo ng ganito ang pangungugali. You were very hard and strict with me. Wala kang binibigay na hindi ko pinaghirapan kahit nuong maliit pa ako. Kahit most of the time matigas ang ulo ko, binigyan mo ako ng angkla na 'di kailanman mawawala. Sa lahat ng importanteng disisyon ko sa buhay, laging nasa likod ng isip ko, “pasado kaya ito kay daddy?” Madalas kitang kausap ngayon. Sampung taon na pero tuwing kausap kita, bumabalik ako sa pagiging 9 years old na sumasama sama lang sayo sa taping ng Goin' Bananas. Kung nasaan ka man, sana hawak hawak mo pa rin ang kamay ko. Mahal na mahal kita, Daddy. #10thyeardeathanniversary #juanmarasiganfeleo #johnnydelgado reposting this again on Dad's 10th death anniversary.

Similarly, her sister Ina recalled seeking her dad's advice during their mom's 60th birthday.

“I remember being totally insecure, because even though I CAN carry a tune, I'm no opera singer like my sister

“Dad texted me, “Puso, puso lang yan” and to sing from my heart and that I did. He had that big smile on his face and looked proud of me.

“Today marks the 10th year of him leaving this world, and I miss him. No one can ever replace him and the values he imparted to me will always, always stay in my heart.”

Mom had a new karaoke installed awhile ago, and I was singing by myself for a good two hours. Then I came across “Over The Rainbow” which was the first song I sang in public for Mom's 60th birthday party. I remember being totally insecure, because even though I CAN carry a tune, I'm no opera singer like my sister. Dad texted me, “Puso puso lang yan” and to sing from my heart and that I did. He had that big smile on his face and looked proud of me. Today marks the 10th year of him leaving this world, and I miss him. No one can ever replace him and the values he imparted to me will always always stay in my heart. Nagpagawa ako ng special chicken salad na pwedeng ipalaman sa pandesal in your memory!❤️
