Reunions, weddings, anniversaries and birthdays feel even more special amid cooler weather and the festive spirit. It is a season of giving, gratitude and reflection, when resolutions to live better and do more are renewed. Above all, thankfulness for past blessings and good health tops everyone's wish list for 2026.

DONNIE TANTOCO: "Am especially grateful for the good overall health of my now 80-year-old parents Rico and Nena. Their healthy presence continues to inspire and enlighten me. I also appreciate how they are able to influence my children and my grandchildren. "I look forward to whatever new growth experiences and challenges lie ahead for us. I believe it can be good if we approach 2026 with the most God-centric version of ourselves."
