While her older brother, Erik Santos, has been serenading us with exquisite voice as the “King of Pinoy Teleserye Theme Songs” in the two decades that he’s been in the industry, Hadiyah Santos just had her acting debut through the youth-oriented series, <a href="https://https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/revisit-exciting-highlights-from-the-season-1-of-zoomers-22669">Zoomers</a>, Since she’s new in the industry, it’s quite inevitable for her kuya not to be mentioned whenever she is being interviewed. And in this <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/">ent.abs-cbn.com</a> exclusive, we asked her to share five fun facts that we may not know yet about the seasoned Kapamilya balladeer, and she enthusiastically heeded.Hadiyah began by gleefully divulging that there’s actually a more than two-decade age gap between them.<div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3062374"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>He may have been ‘claiming’ in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/asap">ASAP Natin ‘To</a> that he’s a certified “dance guru” as his co-hosts would always request him to dance, but the up-and-rising actress said that he’s actually not. Well, at least, Erik has never failed to impress us with his song performances, may it be on the said weekly variety program or in his other shows and appearances.Even though he cannot heat the stage up with his dance moves, Hadiyah takes pride in the fact that her beloved kuya is a good provider to their family. Aside from providing the needs of their family, another thing that Erik gives them is joy and laughter, which he does by uttering jokes and poking fun at her and their other siblings, particularly their older sister. Just when we thought that he’s mostly serious, but he’s actually a jokester and fun-loving person.Lastly, since she was born in 2004, the very year when her kuya won the first season of “Star In A Million” and started his showbiz career, Erik was able to bring her several times already to ABS-CBN since she was still a baby.With how passionate Hadiyah is in taking on this fun challenge, we can say that their closeness as siblings isn’t just for the show but definitely for real, too!
