Actress Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan recently finished her sixth World Major Marathon alongside her daughter Hannah Pangilinan at the Boston Marathon last April 5. 

Laxa's husband, Anthony Pangilinan, shared on his Instagram account that this would also mark his wife's final major marathon after conquering the races in Tokyo, Chicago, London, New York, and Berlin.

Host and entrepreneur Tim Yap, who also ran the Boston Marathon, was able to talk to Laxa after she finished the race, and she said it took her seven years to complete her six stars. 

“After seven years of running marathons, @mommymaricel completes her sixth star at the @bostonmarathon; 'My first marathon is dedicated to Anthony (her husband) - who inspired me and paced me from start to finish.' 'My six stars are for my children Ella, Donny, Hannah, Benjamin, Solana, and Enrique.' Maricel has run a total of seven marathons. "My first 42k was when I turned 42. Now I am 54!" Yap wrote.  

The mother-daughter duo's participation in the Boston Marathon holds special significance as it was Hannah's first world major marathon experience. 

Following the race, Hannah took to her Instagram account to express her gratitude towards her mother for her support throughout the journey.

Family and friends from the industry congratulated the two, including "It’s Showtime" host Anne Curtis, who is also known for participating in marathons.
