The actress and model, who celebrated her birthday overseas on August 12, appeared refreshed as she attended the Palawan For All campaign launch in Makati City on August 20. During the event, she opened up about the family time she enjoyed and how motherhood has significantly influenced her priorities, particularly when it comes to money.
“Actually, kakauwi ko lang last Sunday. Nagkaroon kami ng bonding ng pamilya ko. Nagkaroon kami ng chance na mag get-together kaming apat. So very happy ako sa aming vacation. Parang kumbaga bonding time with the kids,” she shared.
For Marian, becoming a wife and mother brought a noticeable shift in how she views her finances. She explained that before having a family, she mainly thought about saving for herself or spending on things she personally wanted.

“Bilang nanay siyempre nung una single ako, iba yung priority ko, naging may asawa ako, nagkaanak ako. Ngayon parang iniisip mo hindi na lang sa sarili mo eh, iisipin mo ano bang future ang puwede ko gawin para sa mga anak ko? Nag-e-evolve din talaga, nagbabago. Kumbaga, intentional na yun iniisip ko for financial. Dati sarili ko lang: ipon ako, shop ako. Ngayon, hindi na. Iniisip ko, ano bang makakatulong para sa mga anak ko para maging maganda ang future nila,” she added.
The celebrity ambassador also stressed that she does not simply accept endorsements based on popularity or opportunity. Instead, she considers whether a brand shares values that are important to her, especially family, hard work, and helping fellow Filipinos.
“Sabi ko nga, napakahalaga ng parehas kami ng pinapahalagahan, which is yung aming pamilya, yung pagiging hardworking, yung trust mo talaga, at yung pinaka nagustuhan ko talaga is hindi sila tumitigil na bigyang importansya yung mga pangangailangan ng kapwa Pilipino natin. So doon pa lang nabuo yung trust gradually na alam mong hindi mo kailangan ipilit, kasi ang sarap mag-endorso ng isang produkto, isang proyekto na hindi lang para sa akin, para sa kanila, pero iniisip kung paano mapapagaan o matutulungan yung kapwa Pilipino natin. Dun pa lang, panalo na ako at proud na proud ako,” she added.
Meanwhile, Marian admitted that she and Dingdong have not yet formally discussed money management with their children. Instead, they have introduced a system where Zia and Sixto earn points by completing household tasks before getting something they want.
“Parang never namin napag-usapan ng asawa ko yan. Kasi sa age ni Zia at Sixto ngayon, hindi pa namin sila pinapahawak ng pera. So ang ginagawa namin is i-earn nila. Pag may gusto sila, may kailangan silang gawin something na inuutos namin na clean your room, wash ganito tapos may points sila para mabili yung mga gusto nila. So dun siguro nagsisimula yun. Kasi pag may disiplina ka, kaakibat yun at sunod-sunod na yun. Siguro pag si Zia — ano siya ngayon mag-i-11 years old — siguro by 13. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na bibigyan mo ng pera. Pero siguro maganda rin na sa ganung age na naiintindihan na niya kung ano yung value,” she admitted.
As her children get older, Marian hopes they will develop the same appreciation for money that she learned while growing up.
“Lumaki kasi ako na nasa lola ako. Na ang bawat kinikita ko after college ko ay mahalaga sa akin, pinapahalagahan ko. So yun ang gusto kong ma-implement sa anak ko, na ang kinikita mo ay kailangan inaalagaan mo. Ganun yung gusto ko mangyari sa mga anak ko na, ay trust muna. Kailangan malaman nila paano unti-unting gastusin, ipunin. Ano bang mahalaga? Kasi ako sa punto ko sa buhay ko ngayon, parang iniisip ko ang dati bibili ako kung anong gusto ko. Pero ngayon nag-iba na. Ang iniisip ko ngayon intentional na. Kung paano namin mapapalago, paano namin masusuportahan yung future ng mga naak namin. Yun kasi ang mahalaga. So siguro gradual siya. Magandang maturuan natin yung mga anak natin kung paano pahalagahan (ang pera). Kasi ako very vocal ako sa mga anak ako eh. Pag may binibili ako sa kanila, alam nila kung saan nanggaling yun. Pinagtrabahuan ko, pinag-igihan ko kaya ko nakuha yun. So gusto ko ganun din sila paglaki nila. May gusto ka? Pagtrabahuan mo para pag nasa ‘yo, pahahalagahan mo,” she explained.
For Marian, teaching children about money is not only about knowing how to spend it. She believes the bigger lesson is understanding the effort behind what they receive and learning to appreciate what they have.
Her approach reflects how motherhood has reshaped her own financial mindset, with her children's future now becoming a major consideration in the decisions she makes.
