“Thank you for loving my babies as much as you love your babies”
The line brought Pia’s role as a grandmother into the birthday tribute. Alongside celebrating the woman who raised her, Saab acknowledged the love her mother continues to give the next generation of their family.
Writing the greeting also made her emotional, something she openly admitted before ending the caption.
“Literally crying as I type this haha I love you mama,” she added, tagging her mother’s Instagram account, @piamagalona.
Saab and her husband, musician Jim Bacarro, have two sons, Pancho and Vito. Pia has previously shared moments showing her involvement in her grandchildren’s lives.
In January 2025, GMA Entertainment reported that Pia looked after the boys while their parents went on a date for their 10th wedding anniversary. She also posted a photo of her grandsons and greeted the couple through Instagram Stories. That earlier family moment provides context for Saab’s appreciation of her mother’s presence in her children’s lives.
The celebrity has also expressed admiration for her mom in previous birthday tributes.
In 2019, she shared a throwback photo of Pia with her late father, Francis Magalona. In that greeting, Saab described her mother as a role model and recognized the effort she put into caring for their family. She also expressed her wish to make Pia feel appreciated for everything she did for those around her.
Pia has likewise used social media to express her affection for her daughters. In November 2024, she posted a birthday tribute for Saab and Maxene, sharing family photos and wishing them the best.
