Vilma Santos and Edu Manzano are proud first-time grandparents. The acclaimed actress and the famed television host recently got together to celebrate the baptism of their grandchild Isabella Rose, the daughter of their son Luis Manzano with his wife Jessy Mendiola. In a series of snaps shared by Jessy, Vilma and Edu were seen attending Rosie’s Christening ceremony held at Santuario de San Antonio in Makati on April 23. Also present were Vilma’s husband, Senator Ralph Recto, and their 27-year-old son Ryan Christian.“Grateful for everyone who made time to be with us during this special day. Rosie was super happy!” Jessy wrote.<div> </div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrikAQovk6Q/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=524&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A4020477.899999976%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1044" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div> </div>Meanwhile, other celebrities who were spotted at Rosie’s baptism were her godmothers Nikki Gil and Alex Gonzaga.Luis and Jessy welcomed Rosie — or baby “Peanut,” as they’d call her — last December. The two got married in a garden ceremony in February 2021, after four years of being together.Vilma spoke to the Philippine Star in January about meeting Rosie for the first time, describing the moment as heavenly.“It was heaven the first time I saw my apo! She was so pretty and ang pula pula niya… Peanut!!!” exclaimed Vilma.At the time, the showbiz veteran also proudly shared how hands-on Luis and Jessy were as new parents. “Papa na papa si Lucky and mom na mom si Jessy. Galing! Breastfeeding ang Peanut!!! Soooo happy for Lucky and Jessy. Next chapter in their lives,” Vilma said.“[And] New chapter in my life as Momsie Vi. First-time lola!!!” she also noted.Edu, meanwhile, revealed in an interview last March that he had yet to see his granddaughter in person due to his hectic schedule. However, he said he was happy for Luis and Jessy for rising up to the challenge of starting their own family. &quot;Iba rin yung children these days. Many choose to live their lives muna rather than to start a family. But Luis and Jessy accepted the challenge and decided, &#x27;No, it&#x27;s time to start a family,” Edu told PEP. He also talked about his new role as a grandpa, saying he hopes to be a great lolo to Rosie. “’Di ko pa alam, first time ko. Let things happen and let&#x27;s hope I&#x27;ll be a good Lolo,” he said.
