Baby named after ABS-CBN

A baby in Zamboanga Del Norte is named after ABS-CBN, the television network. Odd it seems but the baby is named as ABS-CBN Macawili after the parents named the baby after television network ABS-CBN. The parents said that like the Kapamilya network, ABS-CBN brings joy to their lives. ABS-CBN Macawili was born on November 9, 2006. Jerry Macawili and his wife, Soledad, decided to choose from four popular names for their baby.

Jerry said: “Noong buntis pa ang asawa ko, gusto niyang ipangalan ang bata sa nakikita niya sa TV. Pinagpipilian namin kung Wowowee o Kapamilya o Willie Revillame pero ang mas nagustuhan niya, ABS-CBN”.

Soledad, meanwhile said her husband dreamt of naming her baby after the network. “Napanaginipan ng asawa ko na ipapangalan sa bata ABS-CBN, dahil ito raw ang gusto ng bata.
