Zia Dantes and Dahlia Heussaff are showing that there's more to them than having famous showbiz parents.

The daughters of Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera, respectively, exhibited their singing talents during RMA Studio Academy's Destination - The World Stage annual concert on the evening of November 5, 2026.

Held at the Proscenium Theater in Rockwell, Makati City, the concert featured performances from the academy's students, including the two celebrity kids.

Dahlia, 6, took the stage with a rendition of "This Is Me," originally performed by Keala Settle for the 2017 musical film The Greatest Showman.

Looking every bit like a fairytale princess, Dahlia wore a shimmering silver-blue ball gown featuring an off-shoulder design with delicate puff sleeves.

Its fitted bodice flowed into a voluminous, floor-length skirt made of several layers of glittery tulle. She completed her look with a decorative hair accessory.

Meanwhile, Zia, 10, showcased her vocal range as she belted out Adele's hit song "Rolling in the Deep."

For the occasion, Zia wore a custom creation by Steph Tan Couture.

Her powder-blue ensemble featured a structured satin bodice with delicate shoulder straps, a fitted waist, and an asymmetrical peplum detail adorned with floral embellishments.

The full-length, flowing skirt completed her elegant stage look. With her hair neatly pulled back and her microphone in hand, Zia confidently delivered her performance.
