Eating is just one of the many favorite activities of the mother-and-daughter team, Dr. Marcia Marie Marte-Jimenez, 39, and Ma. Lina, 63, a retired nutritionist and dietician officer in Boac, Marinduque.
"My mom is really good at baking and cooking but fails with smartphones and gadgets," quips Marcia, who studied medicine at the San Beda University.
"We would bake something together or she would bake a pastry that I really liked," she says. "It's a childhood memoir that happened less because of the changes in schedule or everyone just got busy. Looking back, I can still vividly remember the smell and taste."
One important moment she'll never forget with her mom was when she took the physician's licensure exam and "she would stay outside the testing site and wait for me from the first up to the last day of exam. She's very supportive. During major exams, she would always light a candle at home," she says.Medical Facilities & Services
Her wish for her mom?
"To stay healthy and happy and live a meaningful life."
