President Arroyo played doting grandmother to her
grandchildren on Easter Sunday, treating them to an egg hunt at the
Skating Rink of the Baguio Country Club.
The President personally put on
the nametags of Mikaela and Monique, EV (Evangeline Victoria) at the
start of the hunt.
Mikaela and Monique are the
daughters of Rep. Mikey and Angela Arroyo, while EV is the daughter
of Dato and Kakai Arroyo.
Mrs. Arroyo even checked on the
nametag of EV that was written wrongly by a staff of the country
club.
“It’s her initials—EV, just
that,” the President said.
She and her husband, Atty. Mike
Arroyo, played for a while with baby Diggy—Dato and Kakai’s
youngest—who could not yet join in the hunt.
Earlier, Mikaela and Monique had
joined in a game that would require them to say “Happy Easter”
as long as they could hold their breath. Monique scored three
seconds while Mikaela, coming to the rescue of her little sister
with the determination to win a prize, scored 13 seconds. They
didn’t bag any prize.
Children and adults alike took
turns posing for souvenir pictures with the President.
The First Family attended an
anticipated Easter Sunday Mass Saturday night at The Mansion.
The First Family traditionally
spends the Holy Week in the summer capital. This year, however, was
something more special since the President celebrated her 60th
birthday on Maundy Thursday with a Holy Retreat with some of her
Cabinet members.
