“I have always wanted children, but God blessed me with just one. Though having just one child might seem easier, raising a child with many talents can be particularly demanding. My daughter Isabella displayed her gift for singing even as a toddler, and she also excels in the arts and songwriting. Ang dami pa nyang talents.”

Kuh and Isabella’s love for music, encompassing singing and performing, will be showcased again in the post-Mother’s Day Tribute concert titled “I Love You Mom” tonight at 8 at the Hacienda Isabella in Indang Cavite. According to the team of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) icon, the show’s repertoire is a mix of pop and jazz standards with themes that “pay tribute to mothers and the special bond that they have with their children.” Dinner is at 6.
