Chesca Kramer, Rica Peralejo return with more to share in 'Mommy Manual' 


After sharing the screen and hundreds of useful advice through "Mommy Hacks", Chesca Garcia-Kramer and Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio make themselves at home at GMA News TV with "Mommy Manual."

The '90s teen princesses enjoyed their transition to motherhood and Chesca even gained new fans as the matriarch of "Team Kramer." 

The pair have found great joy in motherhood, but they're not ignoring the difficulties, which is why they're eager to share with others what they've learned.

Rica finds joy in her curatorial role and she will be sharing her travels with her son Philip in her "Momventures" segment. 

During a press event on June 8 (Thursday), she said that although traveling with a child is both cumbersome and more expensive, the experience builds stronger memories and she believes it prepares her son for the realities of a global world. 

"It's not easy—it's a whole lot of saying 'Don't do this!' and 'Don't touch that!'" she confessed, "You're going to find yourself so tired, caring for yourself, your husband, and your child...but it's worth it!"

Rica believes that traveling has shaped Philip's character, training him to stay patient—because being patient is all you can be when you're on a plane for hours. Going out also pulls children away from gadgets and widens their perspectives, she added.

For her part, Chesca will be armed with makeup brushes in "Fab Momma" and as the name of the segment suggests, she'll be teaching moms how to get that mythical "on fleek" eyebrows. She will also be polishing her cooking skills in "Newbie Kitchen."

"We've grown in a lot of ways and we're still learning," Chesca said, "We are also inspired by moms who appear on our shows. We're paying it forward to other moms."

Joining Rica and Chesca is Marilen Faustino-Montenegro, who will be giving interior design tips through the "Smart Spaces" segment. 

"I'm teaching, but I'm learning something also," Marilen said.

"Mommy Manual" begins airing on June 20 at GMA News TV, with new episodes every Monday. — APG, GMA News
