Sixto Dantes is taekwondo medalist!
Marian Rivera is a proud mom as she watches her four-year-old son, nicknamed Ziggy, rule a taekwondo competition, winning a gold medal.
Sixto is Marian's youngest child with husband and fellow Kapuso star, Dingdong Dantes.
The actress-host shared Sixto's achievement on social media, posting a series of photos on Instagram.
In her caption, Marian wrote, "The youngest in the competition and showing so much promise already.
"Congrats on winning gold in wood breaking! Mama is always proud of you Sixto."
Marian's post was met with cheers and positive responses from her fans, followers, and celebrity friends.
KC Concepcion, the daughter of Megastar Sharon Cuneta and 1980s matinee idol Gabby Concepcion, commented, "Grabe to!!! Ang cute n'ya!!! Super happy!!!"
Model Kelly Misa, wrote, "So cute omg," while Kapuso actress Carla Abellana posted three emojis with heart eyes to express love and support.
The taekwondo training center attended by SIxto also congratulated the young charmer, posting on Instagram, “Congratulations Sixto for winning Gold in wood breaking in the 1st DG Taekwondo Poomsae Wood breaking Championship."
SUPPORTIVE PARENTS
Marian and Dingdong are known for being hands-on parents to Zia and Ziggy, who have joined many classes and workshops designed to hone their skills and boost their confidence.
Both kids took up swimming lessons, with Zia even winning a gold medal in a swimming competition in March this year.
Marian also posted a photo of her daughter during the competition, writing on Instagram, "So proud of you mahal."
And the kids' feats are like her rewards for being a "karir mom" and an "aligaga nanay."
She told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) in a previous interview, “Ako nagpapaligo, ang nanggigising, ako nagpe-prepare ng baon, and then hinahatid sila sa school."
