Pinagmamalaki ko kasi lumalaki &#x27;yung anak ko nang mabuting bata. Happy ako at thankful ako maski ako lang mag-isa [ang] nagpapalaki sa anak ko. Thankful ako kasi napakasimple ng anak ko. Talagang hindi siya mareklamo. Nararamdaman naman niya na mahal na mahal ko siya at lahat ng ginagawa ko ay para sa kanya. Siguro kuntento na siya.”</p><p>Vina also credited her family for their support and help in raising Ceanna. “Siyempre nagtatrabaho din ako that time noong baby pa si Ceana. But then I&#x27;m really grateful and thankful sa family ko na kapag may trabaho ako ay may napag-iiwanan naman ako, sa kapatid ko, sa magulang ko. Thankful ako sa mga taong tumutulong sa akin kasi hindi ko kayang ma-isa,&quot; she shared during a guesting in <em>Magandang Buhay.  </em></p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-44" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DFg6VLNpVTT/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A44%2C%22os%22%3A36410771%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-44" 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-45" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEehsX7PxUH/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A45%2C%22os%22%3A36411551%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-45" 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-46" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEXGoM_PdyW/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A46%2C%22os%22%3A36411906%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-46" 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-47" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DEP7FDJPHwK/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=754&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A47%2C%22os%22%3A36412186%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="834" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-47" 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>When asked if she would ever allow Ceanna to follow in her footsteps, Vina admits she hopes her daughter would finish her studies first before considering showbiz. “Kung ako lang, siyempre nag-umpisa ako bata pa lang, eight years nag-ta-trabaho na ako professionally. Hindi ko masyadong na-enjoy yung childhood. So siguro kung puwedeng mag-graduate muna siya and then pag gusto niya talagang maging singer or maging artista, hindi ko naman mapipigilan yun. Kasi kung ako nga, hindi ako napigilan ng pamilya ko, ng parents ko. So ganun din ang gagawin ko sa anak ko. Kung saan siya masaya, dun ako.” </p>
