SUPPORTIVE PARENTS

Marian and Dingdong are known for being hands-on parents to Zia and Ziggy, who have joined many classes and workshops designed to hone their skills and boost their confidence.

Both kids took up swimming lessons, with Zia even winning a gold medal in a swimming competition in March this year.

And the kids’ feats are like her rewards for being a ‘karir mom’ and an ‘aligaga nanay.’

She told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in a previous interview, “Ako nagpapaligo, ang nanggigising, ako nagpe-prepare ng baon, and then hinahatid sila sa school.’

And when there are school projects or contest, Marian beamed, ‘Ah siniseryoso namin. Karir talaga. Pagpupuyatan ko pati costume.’

Dingdong, for his part, described fatherhood as ‘the best job in the world.’
