Actress and content creator Rica Peralejo recently shared an emotional post about Waffle, the beloved dog who once brought both joy and challenge into her family’s life.

In her “Senti Saturday” reflection, Rica expressed deep love for Waffle, saying, “You will always be in my heart, Waffy, and I will never ever forget you!”

Waffle, a large dog gifted to the family, initially brought excitement.

However, Rica soon found herself overwhelmed as she juggled parenting, work, and the growing demands of daily life.

Feeling unable to give Waffle the attention he deserved, she made the difficult decision to find him a new home—on one important condition: that he would be deeply loved and able to thrive.

Her prayers were answered when a family expressed interest in taking Waffle in.

They agreed to a trial period, which quickly turned into a permanent adoption.

Rica shared that Waffle has since lived a better life than she could have provided and is clearly meant for his new family.

“Somehow God used us just to give him to them,” she wrote.

Despite the pain of parting, Rica knows the decision was right. One comfort is that her family can still visit Waffle, though it requires a bit of travel.

So I prayed that if I get to find him a home I’d rehome him. Pero dapat, mahal sya at magthrive sya. Kasi if hindi din naman then ako nalang.

Her story is a touching reminder of selfless love—the kind that lets go when it’s in the best interest of a cherished companion. Waffle’s journey continues, and so does Rica’s unwavering affection for him.

Rica Peralejo is a former actress who used to be a cast member of “Ang TV.” The former actress is now married to a Christian pastor named Joseph Bonifacio. They have two children, Philip Nathaniel and Manu.

Recently, Rica shared the cute moment that her son tried really hard not to spoil the "Lord of the Rings" for her. She shared a post made by her husband where he narrated that it was the first time that Rica watched LOTR. During the movie, Rica said that Gandalf has died and that she's pretty sure, he'll come back to life. Mani then said that she was correct but that he won't tell her.

In a comment in a post made by actress and fashion icon Heart Evangelista, Rica was admittedly awestruck by the gorgeous portrait of the fashion icon. Rica then left a relatable comment on Heart's post. Other netizens also chimed in and expressed their shock over Heart's photos.
