The celebrity mom then shared such remarks about their son.
“Believe it or not, in just the past few weeks, we’ve been told ‘sayang naman’ ‘gwapo pa naman’ or ‘awang awa kami sa anak niyo.’”
“We thought we were prepared for this. That we would take it as a chance to educate people to choose a better way of saying things. But in reality, it’s way too shocking to actually respond in the moment so we just clam up,” she continued.
Saab then clarified that Pancho actually gives them pride and pure happiness.
“Here’s the thing: Pancho is our pride and joy. He’s our source of happiness. He may be dependent on us but we are also dependent on him. He makes life easier. Pure joy is no longer sought, instead it’s something we experience on a daily basis.”
Furthermore, Saab wrote more noteworthy messages about cerebral palsy and how to treat families with special needs members appropriately.
“Being parents of a special needs child can be challenging, but it’s also a privilege and honor with rewards beyond our wildest dreams. Since it was #worldcerebralpalsyday yesterday (exactly when one of these instances happened), we’d like to remind everyone that families with special needs members do not need your pity.”
“And if you ever encounter a family with special needs, give them kind words and support instead.”
“Love to all Cerebral Palsy warriors and their armies. Fight lang tayo,” she added.
