The placement of the numbers follows a specific chronological order on his skin. His eldest child, Frederick, who was born in 1998, has his birthdate inked on the far right side, while his daughter Una, born in 2005, has her birthdate recorded on the far left. For Eric, these designs function as functional reminders rather than mere body decoration.
When discussing what motivated him to get the tattoos, Eric noted that he wanted to alleviate the unexpected stress of recalling these details on the spot. He frequently found himself in situations, such as unexpected phone conversations or official transactions, where he needed immediate access to the dates but could not easily check his records. Explaining how this administrative frustration led to his convenient solution, he stated:
"Kasi minsan, ‘di ba, 'pag kailangan ilagay 'yung birthdays ng mga anak sa mga application, minsan over the phone ang sabi ‘'Yung mga birthdays ng anak niyo, kahit balikan niyo na lang po ako sir.’ Sabi ko, ‘Sandali, sandali, kabisado ko.’ ‘Yun 'yung reason."

Eric clarified that the tattoos were not a long-term plan conceived before starting a family. Instead, the concept only came to him after his children were already born and he realized the utility of having a permanent visual record on his skin. Confirming this timeline, he said:
"Actually, pinanganak na sila lahat, saka ko lang naisip."
Beyond handling paperwork, Eric admitted that the ink assists him with the hectic daily routines of fatherhood. Managing a large household can cause him to mix up names or stumble when trying to get a specific child's attention in a hurry. Lightheartedly describing how he tends to yell out multiple names before hitting the correct one, he shared:
"Kasi ‘di ba, 'pag tinatawag mo sila, ‘Ay Una! Este…’ Bago mo matawag 'yung gusto mo tawagin, natawag mo na lahat."
Ultimately, the body art serves a dual purpose as both a sentimental family tribute and a functional parenting tool. Eric joked that having the numbers constantly visible removes the need to carry official documents just to verify his children's birthdates. Emphasizing how the permanent placement completely cures his everyday forgetfulness, he concluded:
"Kaya hindi ko na makakalimutan 'yung birthdays nila, nakikita ko lagi."
Overall, the tattoos reflect both Eric’s sentimental connection to his children and his playful yet practical approach to everyday parenting. For him, the permanent ink serves as a constant, reliable reminder of important family details he never wants to forget.
