Various local celebrities and netizens also greeted Marian's grandmother in the comments section.

In a separate post, the Balota star uploaded a video of her son, Sixto, giving a bouquet of flowers to Lola Iska while adorably singing the happy birthday song.

“Awww super sweet naman ng Sixto namin. Happy Birthday Nanay,” she wrote.

The award-winning actress is known to be close to her grandmother who raised her while her mother, Amalia, worked overseas.

“Lola ko ang nagpalaki sa akin. Sabi ko nga eh hindi porke't lola ko siya eh lola. Para sa akin isa kasi siya sa tinuring kong talagang nanay ko, na masasabi ko siya 'yung puso ng tahanan. Kung wala siya, hindi ko alam kung ano meron ako ngayon kasi sa kanya ko natutunan 'yung determinasyon sa buhay,” she said in a past interview.
