I speak for your Papa also when I say how overwhelmed with love and pride we are for you &amp; what you’ve worked hard to accomplish. Now that you’re off to new beginnings and greater heights, know that you’ll always have your family, and all your Titos, Titas, Ninongs and Ninangs whom you can count on for emotional and moral support.”</p><p>In her video post, Dawn also showed her son’s close relationship with his female cousins who were also graduating that same day. </p><p>“You were born in 2005, the same year as your cousins, Danni, Celine, and Anda. All four of you were joined at the hip as you grew up together achieving every milestone. Never forget this strong bond that you share, carry it with you as you enter adulthood. You will always need each other to lean on.</p><p>“I now have to keep reminding myself that it’s time to let you go so you can begin to spread your wings. But don’t worry because I’ll never outgrow being your doting (worry wart) Mama. I’ll never be too far away, too busy, or too tired if you should need me. Keep being good natured &amp; respectful; these strong traits of yours will carry you well through life. I love you from here to eternity. Fly and soar high, my Son. Keep making us proud.. and may our Heavenly Lord bless and keep you.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Csv0QsgvZmQ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A3123790.600000143%2C%22ls%22%3A587237.600000143%2C%22le%22%3A587243.9000000954%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" 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><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/3/5/fresh-scoops/dawn-zulueta-shares-realizations-as-she-turns-52-192085"><strong>READ: Dawn Zulueta shares realizations as she turns 52<br/></strong></a></div><p>Last month, Dawn also shared another video clip with her son who attended his school’s senior prom.</p><p>She wrote, “ ISM Prom 2023!

She shared details of his athletic accomplishment in the post.</p><p>“Congratulations, Team Bearcats, for a 7-game shut out &amp; winning in the Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asian Schools (IASAS) basketball championship 2023! ✨👏 The game was hard-won, and more especially for our boy, Jacobo, who has been nursing a busted left knee &amp; ankle these past 7 months. With determination &amp; a great deal of effort, he pressed on just to get into the lineup &amp; play for his ISM Team, this being his final year in Senior High. That was impressive, son. We love the way you responded to adversity there. We love the attitude you bring in everyday in all of the things you endeavor to do. You are hard to beat because you never give up 💪👏👏 To paraphrase the great Muhammad Ali: ‘If your mind can conceive it and your heart can believe it — then you can achieve it.’ That’s how we raised you, son; you keep making us proud of you.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCiB9_SFhn/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A3123875.2000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A587237.600000143%2C%22le%22%3A587243.9000000954%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="846" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" 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><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoR5LSbMCZD/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A3125097.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A587237.600000143%2C%22le%22%3A587243.9000000954%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" 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><p>Seventeen-year-old Jacobo is Dawn’s eldest child with husband and businessman Anton.</p><p>Born as Marie Rachel Salman Taleon, Dawn started her showbiz career in 1986 and starred in iconic Pinoy films like <em>Hihintayin Kita Sa Langit, Una Kang Naging Akin,</em> and <em>Saan Ka Man Naroroon</em>. </p><p>Dawn was last seen acting in the 2019 drama film <em>Family History </em>where she played the role of Michael V.’s wife.</p>
