Marian Rivera vows to ingrain love for Pinoy culture in baby Zia

Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera has nothing but love for Filipino culture, and she wants the same for her daughter Zia.

During the launch of Pinoy-themed brand Kultura in SM Makati, Marian, a new ambassador of the brand, said that there is every reason to be proud of Filipino culture and local products.

"Nakaka-proud maging Pinoy. Pag nakikita mo 'yung laman sa loob ng Kultura, masasabi mo na walang dahilan para hindi suportahan ang gawang Pilipino," Marian said.

She said she has already started dressing Zia in Philippines-themed shirts.

"Pati anak ko pinagsuot ko ng shirt ng Philippines para lang to show everybody na ang ganda ng gawang Pinoy," she said.

Asked if Marian will allow Zia to be a brand endorser, the actress answered, "Maliit pa eh."

"Pero pinagsusuot ko na siya ng mga t-shirt na Philippines. Minsan nagre-request ako sa designer na baka pwedeng may twinning ako na gawa nila," she added.

However, Marian has already noticed that Zia, who will soon turn two, has star potential.

"Mas babae ang anak ko sa akin, medyo maarte talaga siya. Saka di mo na siya kailangan turuan umarte sa camera, parang inborn na siyang ganun. Minsan ako na yung, 'Wow anak ha, tinalo mo ako'," she said.

She said Zia might have picked it up during Marian's tapings, which she is sometimes brought to. — BM, GMA News
