Jackie Cohen-Antonio Opens a Kiddie Store With a Difference

Manila, Phillipines – Motherhood requires wearing a lot of hats. It encompasses love and care, not just for your kids, but for your whole family and for yourself, too. I think it’s very exhausting, but in a good way…in a rewarding way,” Jackie Cohen-Antonio mused about the topic that she has grown keen of by now.

At 37, she is mom to three-year-old Devon, six-month-old Natalya, and that one-year-old specialty baby store Chibi Momo at Century City Mall. Coming from the frenzied metropolitan life of a Manhattanite, to marriage and motherhood in uptown Manila, Jackie must have acquired quite the hat collection and the instincts that make raising her two kids the stuff of fluff and fantasies.

“When I got married, I moved from New York to Manila. It was just a big change,” Jackie shared of her wedding with real estate scion Marco Antonio. While leaving the gilded Empire State for Manila’s tropical high-rises may prove a bit overwhelming for Jackie, she quickly realized that the address shift was the first building block in what would be their family of four.
