On the other hand, Marian posted a painting by Mark Padernal of herself and Zia. In the photo caption, she said that it was Dingdong who gave it to her after they came home from Tagaytay earlier in the day.
She recounted that he told her: "Hinding-hindi ko nakakalimutan ang sakripisyo mo para sa anak natin (I will never forget the sacrifices you make for our child). I am so proud of you! I appreciate your efforts very much!"
Before she wrote about Dingdong's message, Marian also wrote a message to Zia:
"Happy birthday, anak. Mahal na mahal ka namin ng tatay mo. Nawa'y lumaki ka na maging isang mabuting tao at mapagmahal sa iyong kapwa.
(Happy birthday. Your dad and I love you very much. May you grow up to be a good person and someone who is loving to your fellowmen.)
"Kasabay ng iyong kaarawan ay ipinagpapasalamat ko rin ang isang taon ko na pagbibigay ng gatas sa iyo."
(At the same time as your birthday, I am also grateful for my one year of providing you with milk.)
According to Marian's post, Zia has been purely breastfed.
