Marian Rivera was filled with pride and emotion as she watched her eldest daughter, Zia, take the stage for her first-ever singing performance.
In a heartfelt post on Facebook, Rivera shared a video of Zia rehearsing Andra Day’s “Rise Up” for an event. Holding a microphone with confidence, the 9-year-old made her mother beam with joy.
“My tears fell while watching you rehearse,” Rivera captioned the video. “This is your first time trying something unfamiliar, stepping on stage to sing, and you pushed through.”
Overflowing Support from Mom
Rivera assured Zia of her unwavering support, encouraging her to pursue her dreams. “As I told you, all these blessings come from Him, and we dedicate them to Him. You make mama proud as always!” she wrote.
Rivera also shared behind-the-scenes moments of their backstage preparations and Zia’s full performance, adding, “Keep dreaming big, mahal!”
A Memorable Year for Zia
