What is a ninang? This netizen has a timely reminder about what being a godparent really is
On Facebook, netizen Dyanne Jordan Montiero hit the spot when she posted a thoughtful note about being a ‘ninang’.
“Nagninang po ako para magguide sa kanila habang lumalaki. Hindi para maging financier,” a portion of her thoughtful note read.
She accompanied it with screengrabs of a conversation with her kumare, who jokingly suggested Dyanne send her aguinaldo to her godchild through a mobile wallet service, which presumably triggered her to think about what being a godparent is.
The Laguna resident, who is ninang to about 30 godchildren, added “hindi po ako bangko. Sa totoo lang, wala po akong trabaho ngayon pero nagtabi ako para sa mga inaanak ko.”
“Alam ko po yung essence ng Pasko na magbigayan at magmahalan. Kaya di niyo na po ako kelangan iremind,” she adds.
Her timely reminder, which she posted on December 8, has garnered over 23,000 shares. Right on, Dyanne! — LA, GMA News
