<p>Dingdong Dantes shared a heartwarming moment between his wife Marian Rivera and daughter Zia while they were vacationing in Australia.</p><p>&quot;When I told our Letizia, &#x27;Hey, we haven’t done the #AyMayDagaPose in a while, why don’t we do it here?&#x27; she looked at me quite cluelessly,&quot; Dingdong wrote.</p><p>&quot;I showed her a series of photos of the pose, taken since she was just one year old, in various locations around the world. Naturally, I didn’t expect her to remember them all, but as the montage came to an end, she promptly pulled out my camera from her bag and directed me to capture the moment,&quot; the actor relayed.</p><p>Zia then did the pose with her mom and encouraged them that they keep on doing the pose as she grows up.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C_W0CfBSyPf/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%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A297444%2C%22ls%22%3A21137.700000047684%2C%22le%22%3A21373.700000047684%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="702" 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><p>&quot;Well, there aren’t really any rats or whatever in those places, but what emerged from this initially whimsical concept is that she now appreciates the value of documenting these moments with her mom,&quot; Dingdong said.</p><p>He went on: &quot;She even expressed that she wants to continue doing this until they both reach a point when they no longer can, but would still try, reminiscent of her innocent, clueless toddler years.&quot;</p><p>Dingdong posted the pose that Marian and Zia did in Australia alongside the other poses that they did throughout the years. </p><p>&quot;So here’s their latest version of the pose—Melbourne-style,&quot; Dingdong said.</p><p>Marian was quick to react to Dingdong&#x27;s post.</p><p>&quot;Thank you, Mahal, for capturing this priceless moment with my Zia! 🙏🏻💕 #LoveYouForEverMyBaby,&quot; the actress commented.</p><p>Fans online also reacted to the mother-daughter moment that Dingdong captured.</p><p>&quot;Omggg.
