Literally, the father is always behind a Grade 5 pupil as she placed pictures of him on her backpack that she uses for school.

The girl whose action can be called ‘picture of my idol daddy is on my backpack’ has sparked conversations online. Truly, showcasing how responsible fathers’ influence on a child could boost confidence.

Grade 5 Pupil Enters School With Pic of Dad on Her Backpack

In a Facebook post by her mother, Regina Banate, she was surprised to see the pictures of her husband, Mohammad Banate, a financial advisor, attached to their daughter Francez Maria Maxynn Banate’s bag.

In an interview with Regina, she said that her daughter did not remove the pictures of her father and actually brought them along with her backpack when she went to Barasoain Memorial Integrated School in Malolos, Bulacan.

“Pinatabi ng daddy niya sa kaniya yung picture niya para sa mga posters sa pagiging FA (financial advisor). Tapos diyan nilagay sa bag niya. Para daw kapag may nang-inis sa kaniya, lagot sa daddy niya,” she said.

“Akala namin joke lang pumasok talaga siyang ganiyan.”

Daughter is Much Closer to Dad than Mom

Regina disclosed that her daughter is much closer to her dad.

“Hands on kasi si hubby sa mga bata. Siya sundo-hatid. Basta kung ano yung pwede niyang gawin para sa mga bata, gagawin niya.”

“Sa sobrang closeness nga nila, pangarap ng anak ko na maging president ng class, naging president siya. Ang next na pangarap daw nya magkaroon ng parent na officer sa PTA. Eh, ayaw ko. Hayun tinupad ng daddy niya. VP daddy niya hahaha.”

Having Remarkable Similarities with Father

“Junior ni Mad si Max. Same sila sa lahat ng bagay ultimo sa mga sounds. Pinapakinig pa niya daddy niya ng K-Pop.”

“Tinanong ko si Max bakit niya nilagay saka di siya nahihiya.”

“Sa pagmamahal daw niya sa daddy niya gusto daw niya laging kasama. Saka para daw walang gumalaw ng bag niya, haha, the mother said.

A challenge from some netizens suggested that perhaps next time, the student might try using her father’s picture, or even her mother’s, as a cover for her notebook.
