Iñigo [in-yee-go] – born Carlos Iñigo Dizon is the greatest gift that God has ever given to me and my wife Andrea. Aside from the whole family, he is the source of my strength and inspiration. Because of my little man, Daddy Basti is striving to be a better person, husband, son, sibling, and most of all as a young parent. Since dad did not name me after him, he wanted my son to be named after him and JR that’s why my son has the name Iñigo too. I’m not quite sure what’s the significance of that name, all I know is that it’s been passed through generation in our clan, coz dad’s Abuelo has the name Iñigo too.
Iñigo came to our lives at the most unlikely and unexpected time. The family was having a great deal of problems then, and then Iñigo came. It’s normal for parents to be upset, but my parents did not get upset at all. They were happy for me and Andrea and my dad said things like that happen and we should accept it with all our hearts and be ready. Mom told me to be strong and to be more responsible most especially with my studies so that I will be a good example to my son.
They supported me and Andrea all the way, treated her like their own, and has given all their love to Iñigo. At 17, we were too young for the responsibility, and it was hard. But Iñigo made it easier by making us all feel lighter and smile every single day. I always remember Abuela saying, “Basti, Look at your son oh… ang inosente at amo ng mukha, ang gwapo mana sa daddy nya maraming magagandang bagay ang naghihintay para sa sa kanya sa future, alagaan mo syang mabuti Apo…” The whole family were very supportive, and my siblings loves him so much, most especially our little princess Amari who takes being little Auntie seriously. 
Iñigo is very close to all my siblings, and he is well-loved by my parents who treat him not only as a grandson but as their own child too.
Iñigo’s coming has also changed our lives, because during that time we were all very sad. With my son’s presence, everything has changed and our household became happier and the family well-bonded. He brought us all together and he made us all strong giving us new hope each day. Iñigo’s innocence reminds us that life can be kept simple and we never really had anything when we were small but we survived. Iñigo reminds us that God is good and he continues to shower us with blessings each passing day. My son is a gift from God, to me and Andrea, to JR, Miko, Paolo, Amari, Mom and dad, and also to my grandparents.
