Tinawag pa ni Gab si Yaya Linda na isang “hero without a cape” kaya naman habangbuhay niya itong mamahalin at pasasalamatan na parang tunay na magulang.
“Quick story. When I was a couple of months old, I had severe colds and a stuffy nose and was struggling to breathe; to the point that I started to turn blue.
“With no medical training or equipment, this lady took it upon herself to physically suck my nose to clear out the congestion.
“As repulsive as it sounds, she did it anyway and it worked. In short, I wouldn’t be here today if not for her,” ang bahagi ng caption ni Gab sa kanyang IG post.

“Our family has missed you since your retirement, but will always remember the countless hours of hard work and lessons you instilled in us all those years,” mensahe pa ng anak nina Gary Valenciano at Angeli Pangilinan.
