“Happy father’s day to my papa,” Amara’s message began. “I hate to think some people think you’re just my stepdad. You have raised me and molded me into the great girl I am today. Thank you for always raising my standards in men (and relationships in general) and teaching me to never settle.”
Amara then described Seguerra and her mother’s loving relationship as “inspiring,” despite the many challenges that they faced.
“Watching you and mama love each other despite every challenge in life is so inspiring. Thank you for being the one for my mom. Despite her everything, despite mine, you are our peacemaker. I love u and [your] 10 hours naps everyday dad. Thank you for being with me through everything. I’m so proud to be your daughter,” she wrote.
In response, the “Drag Race Philippines” director said Amara’s message made his Father’s Day celebration “more special,” as seen in the caption of his Instagram post.
