Marc Pingris and Jean Luc


Marc Pingris introduces his Ilocano roots to baby Jean-Luc in a funny "kuwentuhan" video.

Marc Pingris made sure that the newest addition to their family, baby Jean Luc, will be immersed in his Ilocano culture as he spoke to his two-month-old in his language.

In a video posted on Marc's Instagram account, he is seen speaking with Jean-Luc, who was lying on the bed, in Ilocano.

Roughly translating what Marc said in the video, he's telling Jean-Luc that "he's getting too fat for lying around all day" and that "he's good looking just like him."

What made the video even cuter is Jean-Luc seems like he was answering back and having an actual conversation with his dad. Marc jokingly asked if his baby is already answering back, and if he was a “siga.”

In a post he made on Facebook, posting the same video, he expressed how much Jean-Luc enjoyed their “kuwentuhan.”

“Enjoy siya makipagkuwentuhan eh. Love you big boy!” he captioned the post.

Fans, meanwhile, could not help but express how cute and adorable Jean-Luc is.

Some, meanwhile, noted how Marc is “proud of his roots” for teaching his child Ilocano.

“How touching!!! Great daddy, proud of his roots... God bless you always Marc,” a netizen said.

“This man is so proud of where he comes from... so adorable head of his family plus loving wife Danica, adorable kids too!” a netizen added.

Marc, and his wife, Danica Sotto, welcomed their baby boy on January 15.

“LORD, thank you! Gabayan n'yo po ako na mapalaki sila nang maayos at gabayan mo ako Lord sa lahat lahat ng bagay na gagawin ko para sa pamilya ko. Salamat at maayos na nanganak si Danica salamat po Ama!” he posted previously on Instagram.

Meanwhile, both Vic Sotto and Dina Bonnevie, Danica's parents, could not be more proud when they visited the newborn baby.
