Dingdong then turned his attention to Zia, expressing how impressed he was by the young actress’s performance. He pointed out that although she is still very young, she already demonstrates a level of skill and emotional expression that makes her appear like someone who has spent decades working as an actress.
“And then you meet someone like Zia Grace.”
“Batang-bata pa lang, pero kung umarte, parang ilang dekada nang artista!”
The actor particularly appreciated Zia’s ability to make viewers feel something through her performance without relying on exaggerated expressions or trying too hard. He described this quality as something that many performers take years to develop.
According to Dingdong, Zia already possesses an instinctive ability to connect with audiences, making her performance stand out despite her age.
“She already has that ability to make you feel something without even trying too hard. Something that takes many actors years to develop.”
He also expressed amazement at the young actress’s talent, saying her performance served as a reminder that exceptional ability can emerge at any age.
“Ang galing lang. She’s such a beautiful reminder that talent really knows no age.”
Dingdong described sharing scenes with Zia as a joyful experience and offered words of encouragement as she continues to explore her abilities. He expressed hope that she would always find happiness and fulfillment in acting, regardless of the direction her career eventually takes.
“What a joy it was to share scenes with you, Zia Grace! I hope you always find fulfillment in this wonderful gift of yours, wherever it may take you.”
The actor also made it clear that he would welcome the possibility of seeing Zia pursue a career in the entertainment industry. While recognizing that the decision ultimately belongs to the young performer, Dingdong said he genuinely hopes she chooses to continue acting.
“And should you choose to pursue acting, which I really hope you do, I can’t wait to see what else you have in store for us.”
Remember, which stars Dingdong and his wife Marian Rivera, is now showing. The film brings together the superstar couple, with Dingdong’s public praise for Zia offering a glimpse into the appreciation he developed for his young co-star while working on the project.
Marian Rivera is a Filipino-Spanish actress who rose to become one of the Philippines’ leading television personalities through popular productions including Marimar, Dyesebel, and Darna. She is the only child of Spanish father Francisco Javier Gràcia Alonso and Filipina mother Amalia Rivera. After her parents separated when she was three, Marian grew up largely under the care of her maternal grandmother in Cavite. She later became a major television star and formed a highly successful on-screen partnership with Dingdong Dantes. Their professional relationship eventually developed into romance, and they married in 2014. They now have two children, Zia and Sixto, and remain one of the country’s most prominent celebrity families.
In a previous interview on Rec.Create, Marian Rivera shared her perspective on marriage and advised women to make loving gestures out of genuine affection instead of expecting something in exchange. Speaking with her husband, Dingdong Dantes, she discussed why unconditional love is important in maintaining a healthy relationship. Marian explained that doing something thoughtful for one’s spouse should not become a reason to demand an equivalent gesture in return. For her, acts of service and affection should be sincere expressions of love rather than transactions that create expectations or obligations.
In another report, director Kip Oebanda revealed that Marian Rivera agreed to accept only a single day’s talent fee for appearing in the movie Balota. Oebanda said the actress also decided to give part of her earnings to members of the film’s production crew, with the remaining money going to an educational charity. He further shared that Marian had been helping friends and contributing to charitable causes discreetly for years. Her generosity, he noted, extended beyond her involvement in the film, as she had also been providing longstanding support to Smile Train.
