Marian Rivera reveals Ate Zia is a big fan of Sarah Geronimo

Marian Rivera said her daughter Zia is a big fan of Sarah Geronimo — specifically of her song "Tala."

In a YouTube video uploaded by PEP.ph's Rose Garcia, Marian shared to a group of entertainment reporters how Zia has been fangirling over Sarah.

"Sobrang gustong gusto niya 'yung 'Tala.' Nagsasasayaw ng 'Tala.' Si Ranvel (Rufino) kasi, very close iyan kila Matteo and Sarah; very close din iyan sa amin dahil meron silang business ni Dong. So pumupunta minsan sa bahay iyan nagmi-meeting,” she said.

“One time, sinend ni Dong kay Ranvel na nagta-Tala si Zia. Ngayon siguro kasama ni Ranvel si Sarah, nag-video ngayon itong si Sarah," she continued.

In the video interview, Marian detailed how her daughter reacted. "Sabi ni Sarah, ‘Hi Zia, ang galing mo mag-'Tala'.’ Kilig na kilig 'yung anak ko, Diyos ko 'day,” Marian said.

According to the Kapuso actress, Zia was puzzled on how Sarah knows her.

"Sabi niya, ‘Why Sarah knows me? Why she knows I like 'Tala'?’” Marian narrated.

Despite Zia being one of the most popular celebrity kids in the country thanks to her parents, Marian said her daughter is unaware of her popularity.

"Oo pero pag siya, deadma siya. Parang hindi siya aware, ang bata pa niya," Marian told reporters.

“Typical lang na bata na kapag may nakikita, natutuwa. Very innocent pa din. Ayaw naman naming sabihin na, ‘Ay anak ganito ka, ganyan ka'," she said.

During the interview, Marian also said there are times when Rocco Nacino would visit their house and her daughter would be amazed to see people she gets to see on TV in their house.

Marian said Zia would get shy whenever she sees herself on television, unlike when she was younger.

“Nakita namin, nahihiya na siya. Hindi na katulad ng dati. Kapag nakikita niya 'yung commercial niya ng Nido… dati, ‘That’s me, that’s me.’ Ngayon hindi na, nahihiya na siya,” she narrated.

At the latter part of the interview, Marian showed Sarah's video message for Zia. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
