Proud Dad Arranged and Framed Daughter’s 59 Medals
A proud dad went viral online for arranging and framing his daughter’s 59 medals to display them at their home.
A video shows a 44-year-old father, Ruben Lacatan, carefully arranging and framing 59 medals earned by his daughter, Jade Kristelle Lacatan. The medals are a symbol of Jade’s hard work and dedication in her studies, and Ruben wanted to honor her achievements in a special way.
Jade has been a diligent student since she was young, consistently excelling in her academics from elementary school to senior high school. These medals represent her accomplishments over the years, and to Jade, they are gifts to her parents.
Ruben, who has been a carpenter for 23 years, promised his daughter that when she finished Grade 12, he would frame all her medals. True to his word, Ruben personally made the frame and carefully arranged each medal with pride.
For him, displaying his daughter’s achievements is a way to celebrate her success and the joy it brings to a parent.
Jade feels incredibly fortunate to have such a supportive father. She shares that growing up with her father, while her mother worked abroad, made her feel his deep love and care. Now, as she prepares to enter college, Jade knows how much her father has done to support her education.

Ruben, who was unable to attend college himself, is determined to ensure that his two children have the educational opportunities he never had. He encourages other fathers to continue supporting their children’s education, believing it will lead to a better life.
