In a surprise announcement on April 5, Regine Tolentino introduced her third child Rosie Rignée.
Baby Rosie, as what her parents Regine and Dondi Narciso fondly call her, was born on March 17, 2020, at exactly 9:26 p.m. via cesarean section at St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City.
Though she was a normal baby girl, Baby Rosie was immediately admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) after having her temperature read at 39.9 degrees and rising.
In an Instagram post, Regine recalled, “It was the most difficult time for @dondinarciso and me amidst the start of the pandemic, recovering from a CS delivery, and not knowing the status of our baby.”
But just like her mom, Baby Rosie proved to be one heck of a fighter as she battled her fever for 10 days before being discharged from the hospital.
Since then, the actress describes her daughter as a “miracle baby” and continues to be amazed at how much happiness Baby Rosie brings to her life.
She said, “Her strength and fighting spirit still amaze me until today. She is a warrior and a survivor -- our beautiful and resilient @rosierignee.
“I thank God every day to be so abundantly blessed with my children and loving life partner. Happy birthday, my miracle @rosierignee. I love you so incredibly much.”
