Like any other mother, Saab Magalona is overjoyed over her eldest son Pancho's new achievement.

Actress and musician Saab Magalona and her husband Jim Bacarro expressed their utmost happiness over their eldest son Pancho's big milestone on social media.

The celebrity mom shared a video of her adorable three-year-old as he took a toy dinosaur from a container and successfully gave it back in his mother's hand.

She wrote in the caption, “Another big milestone for Kuya!”

“Previously, he was not able to place things onto any table, container, or hand. He couldn't help but throw everything outward.

“But we have been patiently guiding him every day. Never pressuring him to do it, just gently reminding him to hold on and only let go when the item is where he wants to put it.”

“I'm continuously impressed by his ever-adapting brain. My smart boy!!”

Saab also gave an important note for parents and caregivers of children with special needs.

“A reminder for parents and caregivers of special needs children that every small thing we do makes a difference,” she shared.

“Let's keep believing in our kids.”

As of this writing, Pancho's latest milestone has over 93,000 views on Instagram.

Before this memorable event, the celebrity mom also shared one of her toddler's achievements as he was able to stand up on his own.

In early 2020, Saab Magalona uploaded Pancho's heartfelt “origin” video where she revealed her eldest son's condition.

The celebrity toddler had to undergo two major brain surgeries when he was less than a year old but fought his way through.

Indeed, Pancho Bacarro is a true superhero with a fighting spirit that continues to defy expectations.
