Through his posts, he took time to thank those people who shared the important milestone with him and his wife Clarisse---especially the ninongs and .

"Overjoyed that our baby Amanda has been baptized at 6 weeks. Can't wait to share with her the beauty of our Catholic faith," gushed the proud dad.

Overjoyed that our baby Amanda has been baptized at 6 weeks. Can't wait to share with her the beauty of our Catholic faith. Thank you Ninongs and Ninangs for accepting your role as her guardians and role models. Fitting family picture for my 1000th post.

After the ceremony, guests were served delicious Spanish cuisine, by way of a buffet organized by none other than the popular chef behind Pamana restaurant, Happy Ongpauco-Tiu, who also happens to be Chris' aunt.

What a beautiful setup prepared by my chef auntie @happyongpauco_tiu and her team for Amanda's very special day. Guests all loved the Spanish food and the gorgeous setup! ???????? #HappyConceptGroup #PrivateDiningByHappyConceptGroup

So intimate was the gathering that even the decorations were comprised of personalized trinkets. The little Amanda memorabilia strewn across the tables made the event even more special.

Chris and Clarissa are both devout Catholics. They wed in an intimate Catholic ceremony in Vancouver, Canada in September 2013. They had been high school sweethearts, dating for 12 years before tying the knot.

He credits his wife Clarisse for making it a lot easier to adjust to his new role as a dad. "So proud of how you've transitioned smoothly into becoming a mom!" he wrote in a recent post on Clarisse's birthday. "The sleepless nights, non-stop breastfeeding, changing of diapers and tiny acts of love have made me appreciate you even more."

Just these past few days, I experienced how being a father requires making sacrifices and adjustments. These, however, will pale in comparison to the feeling of euphoria... even just by watching her sleep and feed. Thank you for the beautiful photo @borly222 & @rachelle_chantong
