According to the veteran broadcaster, Nanay Fe has been serving the Sanchez family for more than 50 years.

The veteran journalist, who is married to former senator Mar Roxas, shared that Nanay Fe was only 17 years old when she left their home in Tacloban city to work as a yaya in the Sanchez family.

“Imagine this 17 year old girl from Tacloban finding a job as yaya to a feisty little girl named Korina. I think she was challenged. Since then she refused to leave our family,” Sanchez recalled.

Past Instagram posts of the Rated K host described Mazo as her nanny since she was still four years old. Nanay Fe also took care of the younger brothers of Korina, and eventually their families.

In her online tribute to Nanay Fe, the veteran broadcaster said her victories in life were also her nanny’s victories. These include her career in the media, her marriage to Mar, and as a doting parent to Pepe and Pilar.

Korina said that the first victory of her nanny was when the journalist got a job on television. Another victory that her yaya had was when Sanchez took over the reins of her family and handled it the way her parents would have wanted.

The Rated K host said that Nanay Fe spent 50 years of her life in dedicated and selfless service to the Sanchez family. She also revealed they were planning a party for her to say thank you.

“True mothers need not be blood. What a woman Fe Mazo was, and will forever be in our hearts. Paalam Nanay. Till we meet again,” Korina ended.
