Happy Father's day to all the daddies, lolos, titos, and even kuyas out there!
In celebration of the special day, we show you how some local celebrities and society personalities—some of whom are dads themselves—enjoyed the special occasion.
While it's unfortunate to be celebrating a second Father's Day in quarantine, dads everywhere know that this day is more than getting to go out, receiving gifts, or having fancy photos taken from the day. It's times like when this we're reminded that family is what matters most, because without them, a dad wouldn't be a dad!
Check out how some local celebrities and society personalities lived out this lesson on Father's Day in the gallery below:
Anne Curtis and baby Dahlia were in Australia quarantined for a year or so before they made their way back to Manila. But even so, her dad, James, never actually got to meet his granddaughter in that time! Finally, after so long a wait, Anne got her dad and her daughter in the same room. This Father's Day also marks the second time her husband Erwan Heussaff celebrated the special holiday.

The Gutierrezes are often spotted celebrating special occasions out of town, but this time, dad of two Richard Gutierrez looked like he was away from his wife, Sarah Lahbati, and their boys, Zion and Kai, for the meantime. To still bring a smile to his face, Sarah and their kids surprised him with a short and sweet Instagram greeting.

Billy Crawford
Billy Crawford and wife Coleen Garcia have been celebrating much of the year's most special days at home to keep safe. They have all the time to spend with their first child, Amari, and this time, it's to celebrate Billy's first-ever Dad's Day! To mark the occasion, Billy recently did a pictorial with his son for kiddie clothing brand Moose Gear, which he also worked with back when he was a tween.
Dad to Zia and Ziggy, Dingdong Dantes is set for life. This year, he spent Father's Day at home with kids and had a casual, intimate dinner at home with his wife Marian Rivera. The highlight had to be their dinner spread, topped off with a glass or two of good old bubbly and dancing!

Dr. Z Teo
Dr. Z Teo and his wife Dr. Aivee Teo shuffle between Singapore and Manila for work, so getting to spend this day with the family at home was definitely something to smile about. On Father's Day, the Teo family had a pretty active day - no bumming around in front of a TV, and instead, lots of active time in their home gym!

Markus Paterson
Baby Jude might only be a eight months old but that doesn't mean that he can't feel the love and TLC from his dad Markus. Together with this tiny tot's mom, Janella Salvador, Markus took it slow and easy at home for his first Father's Day. He even took the time to give a shoutout to his own dad and pointed out that they're celebrating Father's Day as dads at the same time for the first time in their lives!
Xavi Panlilio and his daughter Millie practically spend 24/7 together at home with mom Dani Barretto. But to make Father's Day this year fun, he chose to dine and wine with Dani, turning the day into date night.
