Happy birthday Daddy! Thank you for your love, kindness, generosity & wisdom. Grateful to the Lord for you! We all miss you.

Hi Da, 

Remembering you on your 11th birthday in heaven. Thank you for looking out for us. We know it because Cian always sees you & Mommy. You surely adore your 21/2 year old great grand son.

Thank you Daddy for inspiring me to be an accountant.Thank you for making Algebra & Geometry easy for me to understand. Thank you for driving me to school & keeping me company when I took my civil service exams. Thank you for picking me up at work at 1:30 am. Thank you for waiting for me -you wouldn't sleep until I get home from the prayer meeting on Monday nights. Thank you for taking me to Rizal Coliseum and Araneta Coliseum to watch basketball. Thank you for taking time off from work ( I know it was almost impossible for you to leave work) to attend my CPA oathtaking. Thank you for supporting me when I migrated to Canada. Thank you so much Daddy.......There were so many precious moments I spent with you- too many to mention. They always put a smile on my lips everytime I think of them although I must admit they bring me to tears too. Thank you for teaching us by example to be prayerful. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Thank you for your love & all your sacrifices. We have always felt the love of God because He gave you to us as our father. I thank and praise God for you! We love you Daddy and we sorely miss you.

Dearest Daddy,

Today on the occasion of your 9th birthday in heaven, I am reminded of the so many good things you have done for me. After mass this morning which I offered for you, Jun and I were talking about you and your devotion to God, to Mommy & to your children. Seventeen years ago when I moved to Canada, your supported me all the way, You provided for all my financial needs. I will not be able to fulfill my dreams without you & Mommy's love for me. I am forever grateful to the Lord for giving you to us. You are so deeply missed! I still cry every time I think of you & your goodness. I love you. Daddy! Please pray for all of us as you always did when you were still here with us.

Tribute from ELMER (Daddy's youngest child)

Our daddy indeed was an extraordinary man. He was a man of principles, a man of intelligence and dignity, a man with a deep sense of responsibility. A loving husband to mommy and a good provider and father to us his children. Most of all he was a man of prayer! A man truly worth emulating! We honor him because in doing so we give greater glory and honor to God Who created him. We praise and thank the Lord for giving us Antonio Martin Bautista+ may his soul rest in peace and in eternal contemplation of the beauty of our Creator. That in all things God may be glorified!

Today, 9 years have passed since you left us but the wonderful memories I have with you and Mommy continue to linger vividly. Just last Friday, while saying my night prayers, I suddenly remembered that time in 1994 when you went out of your way to personally buy a new bed for me because I needed one for the rented apartment where I stayed while reviewing for the Bar exams. You were still working at that time but you found time to do it before going to work. This thought moved me to tears...It reminded me of the way you showed me your love, care and support. Daddy, thank you for everything you've done for me. You worked hard just to be able to provide for me and the rest of my siblings. And I thank God for you, the best father one could ever have. While the pain of losing you still persists to this day, your legacy of faith, hardwork and integrity will be my inspiration as I continue my life's journey. I love you Daddy! Please pray for me and our family always!

Hi Daddy, I just want to let you know that I am forever thankful to the Lord for you. You were such a loving, generous, giving and supportive father. I miss everything in you. I love you so much Da. I will never, ever forget your goodness to all of us. Like what our cousins from Mommy's side said... You were the best father they've ever known!

Happy birthday Daddy. How I wish you're still here with us but we all know you're with Jesus and of course with Mommy. I miss you so much. I love you.

Dearest Daddy,
Seven years have passed. I still miss you - your love, your kindness, your generosity, your words of wisdom, your faith in God, your dedication to Mommy and to us your children. Thank you so much. Praise God for you!
