Alam kong marami ka nang pinagdaanang pagsubok, hirap, at pagkatalo sa buhay, lalo na dahil sa mga taong walang takot sa Diyos at walang pag-aalinlangang manloko at manlamang ng kapwa. Ngunit sa kabila ng lahat ng ito, hinahangaan kita dahil hindi ka sumuko. Patuloy kang bumabangon, lumalaban, at nagsisikap na makabangon muli. Hindi mo hinahayaang talunin ka ng mga pagsubok sa buhay, at patuloy mong ginagawa ang lahat para sa kinabukasan ng iyong pamilya.
Nakikita ko kung paano mo inuuna at pinangangalagaan ang iyong pamilya, at maging ang sarili mong ina ay hindi mo pinababayaan. Malaki ang sinasabi nito tungkol sa iyong pagkatao. Busilak ang iyong puso, at kitang-kita ang pagmamahal at malasakit mo sa mga taong mahalaga sa iyo.
Dahil dito, buong puso kitang hinahangaan, nirerespeto, at minamahal. Hindi ka lamang asawa ng aking anak at ama ng aking mga apo. Itinuturing kitang tunay na anak, na walang ipinagkaiba kina Danica at Oyo. Ipinagmamalaki kita, Marc, hindi dahil wala kang pagkukulang o hindi ka nakararanas ng pagkatalo, kundi dahil sa kabila ng lahat ng iyong pinagdaanan, patuloy kang nagsisikap, nagmamahal, at pinipiling maging mabuting tao.
Sa iyong kaarawan, dalangin ko na patuloy kang gabayan ng Diyos sa bawat hakbang at sa lahat ng iyong mga ginagawa. Nawa’y palakasin Niya ang iyong loob, bigyan ka ng karunungan sa bawat desisyon, at pagkalooban ka ng mabuting kalusugan, kapayapaan, at higit pang mga pagpapala. Dalangin ko rin na dumating ang panahon na makita mong magbunga ang lahat ng iyong pagsisikap at mapalitan ng masaganang biyaya ang mga hirap na iyong pinagdaanan.
Happy Birthday, Marc! Patuloy kang magtiwala sa Diyos at huwag mawalan ng pag-asa. Tandaan mong hindi mo kailangang harapin ang lahat nang nag-iisa. Nandito kami, nagmamahal, sumusuporta, at nananalangin para sa iyo.
Mahal na mahal ka namin, at ipinagpapasalamat namin sa Diyos ang buhay mo. Pagpalain ka pa Niya nang higit sa iyong inaasahan!”
Dina acknowledged that Marc has experienced numerous difficulties, setbacks, and disappointments. She alluded to people who had allegedly taken advantage of him, but said she admired him for refusing to give up despite the hardships he encountered.

Instead, she said, Marc continues to get back on his feet, fight through adversity, and work toward a better future for his family.
The actress also pointed to Marc’s relationship with his family as one of the qualities she admires most. She said she has seen how he prioritizes and takes care of his loved ones, including his own mother.
For Dina, those actions reveal much about Marc’s character. She described him as someone with a pure heart whose affection and concern for the people important to him are clearly evident.
Her message became particularly touching when she said she no longer sees Marc merely as her daughter’s husband or her grandchildren’s father. Dina said she considers him a genuine son, placing him on the same level as Danica and Oyo.
She stressed that her pride in Marc does not come from believing that he has never made mistakes or experienced defeat. Instead, she admires him because he continues to work hard, love his family, and choose to be a good person despite everything he has gone through.
