Days before Sixto's special day, his dad Dingdong posted a lengthy message on social media, expressing his feeling on Sixto's apparent fast growth and his realizations amid the continuing global health crisis.

He wrote, "I was going through old photos, when I came across this picture that I had taken around the same time last year (bago kita tuluyang kinalbo). I couldn't believe how time flies so fast that in a couple of days, you'll be turning two.

"So many things have happened, so many realizations, and so many challenges such as this pandemic that we have to fight as a nation.

"It may not be an ideal world to live in, but we, your parents, will do our best to inculcate in you and your Ate Z the renewed (and strengthen) version of values and principles of humanity."

The couple welcomed Sixto in 2019, while their eldest Zia Dantes was born in November 2015.
