              A very faithful and honest husband to my mother, a very loving and obedient child to his parents, a kind brother to his siblings and for me a supportive, hardworking and understanding father.  Ignacio P. Ortiz is the name of the person behind my back. The one who always have time to teach me about the things I must learn such as biking, driving motorcycle, a shortcut to math problems and many more even though some of it are boys work . I use to call him "Tatay", not papa,daddy,fudra, nor papsi. I once ask him why do I need to call him "Tatay" he answered back "dahil para sa akin, mas masarap pakinggan yon". My father always reminds me that "Education is the Only Treasure that I can Give you, you must treasure it because that is the only wealth in this world that no one can ever stealth it from you.

              I don’t have any plans last father's day, because we don’t celebrate it as always. But I always have a present for my tatay. I always give him a card, a simple card, but this year I decided to make a little power point presentation for him. He was glad even thought I was not able to finish it.

               I am close to both of my parents but my father is my savior or  shield when my nanay scold me. My father always tell my nanay that I'm not a kid anymore, so she doesn’t need to get a broom stick and slap my buttocks (just like when I was in grade 1). But my father is strict he doesn’t want me to buy street foods, but I buy, and buy, and buy as always.

       I am very thankful because I have a father like him.  I'm a daughter who is not expressive in words, but I express it in deed. I never dare to tell "I LOVE YOU" in front of my father anyway. But for me showing respect, study well and obeying his rules(not always J) is enough to show how much I love my tatay. Thank you very much TATAY for all the sacrifice you made just to give our needs, thank you for all the love and support. You are one of the persons behind my back, and I salute you for that.
