In a post made by GMA News on Instagram, it was revealed that the artist also created a leaf art featuring the original trio: Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.

This isn't the first time Mary Mae was featured by GMA News.

Last month, her leaf portraits of famous Kapuso anchors Mike Enriquez, Mel Tiangco, Jessica Soho, Vicky Morales, and Atom Araullo made rounds on the internet.

The post said, “Ayon kay Mary, cutter ang kanyang ginamit at inabot siya ng tatlong oras para gawin ito.

“Bilib daw kasi siya sa paghahatid ng balita ng news anchors kaya niya naisipan gawan sila ng kakaibang artwork.”
