“Hardys: It Gets Better with Time

 

 
Change is constant. We do not know what will happen tomorrow. There are drawbacks, uplifting situations that give us glimpse of how wonderful and amazing the world is. There is no such thing as coincidence. Everything happens for a reason as they always say. We may not see the purpose of it today but tomorrow may be another story.

When I was young, I was trained by my father to stand in my two feet, I should know what I want and push myself hard to make sure I can attain it. My father taught me that experience is the best teacher more so, if I want to achieve my goal in life, I should experience hardships in order for me to fully taste success. He does not give me anything I want easily, I should work for it, not asks for it as he always says. As a young girl, I do not understand it. I always fret, if I want extra money, I need to earn a 100% mark in my quizzes in order for him to buy it, and then I will have extra money. If I want a thing, I should watch over our little store in order for him to give me what he called “pay” then I will be able to buy what I want. I hate his ways. I always think that it is cruel and manipulative. Why can’t I get it easily just like what other parents do with their children? But he will keep on answering me “I will understand it when I get old”. I even mimic him when he says it. But…things really change when I get old and saw the picture and idea he wants me to see.

Because of that training I’ve got from my father, I have learned a lot. When I want something, I look for ways to get it. I become more independent minded. I don’t rely on fate or other people to get it. I become a goal oriented person. I know how to set goals and achieve it eventually. The training I’ve got watching over our little store made me realize that success comes to those who wait. Patience is a virtue. There is always time for everything and most especially, success is like a business. I have to work hard for it every day. I should not let it slip; one wrong move then I will come back to zero. I’ve also learned the ways of putting up a business and making it profitable. I’ve learned the taste and preferences of individual buyers. And I was able to apply it in the little business sideline that I have. I applied in my business as well how to treat a customer well in order for them to patronize our product. They were the little things I hate back when I was a child but the virtues they impressed on me are the most important. My father is right about it.

My papa is my idol. He has made me strong, independent and driven woman. I never thought that the training I’ve got from him will make me a success. I don’t know what I would become if he did not train me to be tough. Tough love has given me an advantage in this modern world. 

My father’s legacy in my life is timeless and it just keeps on making my life better. Just like Hardys – after 160 years, it just keeps getting better.

Let me Introduce to you Hardy’s-“It gets Better with Time”.

Words from Bill Hardy, Fifth Generation Family Member

Our pioneering founder and my great, great Grandfather, Thomas Hardy, had a vision to

create wines that will be prized in the markets of the world

He made this vision a reality with the bottling of his first vintage in 1857. Ever since then, five generations of the Hardy family have been devoted to keeping his passion and his pioneering spirit alive.

Press Release: ABS-CBN launches "Magkasama Tayo sa Kwento ng Pasko" Christmas station ID

PRESS STATEMENT FROM ABS-CBN:


"ABS-CBN pays tribute to different Filipinos, whose inspiring stories have touched the hearts and ignited the passion of people working for the network on and off cam, in its newest Christmas Station ID to be launched on November 6 after TV Patrol.

"Dubbed as “Magkasama Tayo sa Kwento ng Pasko,” this year’s Christmas SID becomes a vehicle to share these stories to Filipinos here and across the globe.  It also highlights the bond that ABS-CBN have forged with its audience through the years.

"Seven stories were meticulously researched by ABS-CBN’s Integrated Creative Communications Management division and for each story, an artist was chosen based on who would best help tell their touching true-to-life tales.

“These stories of simple yet remarkable individuals will always be ABS-CBN’s inspiration in delivering its commitment to be of service to every Filipino.  And for the many years that they have allowed us inside their homes, we only have gratefulness. Being accepted by Filipinos as their Kapamilya is by far our greatest achievement. Our journey with them has been remarkable.  We can only look forward to many more years with them,” said  Head of Integrated Creative Communications Management Robert Labayen.

"Nanay Baby of Isla Pulo‘s only wish for Christmas was to have an autographed picture of Kim Chiu, the actress who stayed in their humble home (which didn’t have any electricity) for an episode of the show I Dare You two years ago. She was definitely in awe when the one who delivered her requested photo was Kim Chiu herself. Together with Xian Lim, Kim reconnected with Nanay Baby, whom she considers like a mother in that short span of time she lived with her family.

"Judy Ann Santos expressed that she wants to spend time with women who were victims of violence, having portrayed an abused wife in her last teleserye Huwag ka Lang Mawawala.  The women of Women’s Crisis Center were brought to Our Lady of Victory chapel in Malabon knowing that they will be interviewed about their past experiences and how they have moved on not knowing that Juday will be there waiting for them. The actress sat down with them, talked with them and even served them a simple merienda of pancit, chicken and puto to the women’s delight.

"Gualberto Isla Jr. is a security guard of the Star Magic office in ABS-CBN, who opens the door for artists like John Lloyd Cruz, who drop by the office. Unfortunately, he had to be relieved of his duties due to malignant melanoma which affected his left under-eye area. His simple wish was to be able to go back to work so that he can provide for his family. One rainy afternoon, an unexpected visitor entered Guard Isla’s home in Rodriguez, Rizal and it was none other than John Lloyd Cruz himself.

"Meanwhile, Cyril Perales is a habal-habal driver in Cebu who hardly make ends meet together with his wife Evelyn to support their seven children. Though life is tough for them, they take pride in having a happy family with simple joys. They save up for two months just to be able to cook spaghetti and buy bread for Christmas dinner. Having heard this story, Cebu-born actor Enrique Gil flew to Cebu, with several balikbayan boxes containing gifts for all nine family members. Not only that, Enrique also surprised the whole family with their first ever Noche Buena feast, complete with the famous lechon Cebu.

"Gemma Solomon is an OFW in Hong Kong who battled breast cancer.  Though she was longing for the care of her family back in Bicol, she decided to stay in Hong Kong because of the medical benefits the government provides for foreign workers like her. Like any other mother who wants to provide for her children, she fights homesickness every day, in the hope of giving them a better life. When Piolo Pascual heard about Gemma’s story, he agreed to fly to Hong Kong immediately, carrying with him a video message from her family. Gemma could hardly believe that the actor appeared right before her eyes on a random Sunday morning at the Hong Kong harbor.

"Simplicio Yoma is a war veteran living in The Bay Area in California who misses his family back home in the Philippines. One day at the Embarcadero in downtown San Francisco, Gerald Anderson came up to him and surprised him with a video message from his family. It is a very personal moment for Gerald since Gerald’s father is also in the military.

"An avid TFC subscriber, Nanay Dely thought she was only visiting Sam Milby’s shoot in downtown San Francisco. Without her knowledge, her husband Tatay Fermin was about to fulfill her long-time dream that day—a marriage proposal—as they celebrate their 50th anniversary.  With the help of Sam Milby, Tatay Fermin started to carry out his plan by serenading Nanay Dely with their theme song, “Portrait of My Love.” Holding out a placard saying, “Minahal at inalagaan mo ako nang higit sa iyong sarili. Pakakasal ka ba sa akin MULI?” Tatay Fermin broke into tears even before Nanay Dely was able to give her resounding, “yes.” A true testament of love and devotion, they now plan to get married again this December.

“Magkasama  Tayo Sa Kwento Ng Pasko” was written by Robert Labayen, with music composed, arranged and produced  by  Bojam De Belen, Thyro Alfaro, Jeli Mateo. It was performed by The  Voice of the Philippines coaches  Sarah  Geronimo, Bamboo and Lea Salonga with grand winner  Mitoy Yonting and finalists Klarisse De Guzman, Janice Javier, and Myk Perez.

"The  2013  ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID was created by ABS-CBN Integrated Creative Communications Management  headed  by Robert Labayen, Johnny Delos Santos, Patrick  de  Leon  and  Ira  Zabat.  It is directed by Johnny Delos Santos, Peewee  Gonzales,  Paolo  Ramos,  Carmelo  Saliendra.  The SID Creative and Production  team  members  are  Danie Sedilla-Cruz, Edsel Misenas.
