Kapatid niya ako, ha, pero every time na nakikita ko siyang sumayaw, sobrang nagagalingan ako sa kanya,” she said. </p><p>“Iba ‘yung kaya niyang gawin kasi. Hindi normal — na parang hindi lahat kayang magpa-popping, mag-robotics, ganyan. So, sobrang na-a-amaze ako,” she added. </p><p>Explaining how she encouraged her sister to join the contest, she said, “Nung una, ayaw niya eh. Pero pinilit ko talaga eh. Sabi ko ‘Sige na ‘te sali ka.” </p><p>“Siguro kinakabahan din siya kasi host na ako nu’ng time na ‘yun. And siyempre, may masasabi rin ‘yung mga ibang tao, ‘di ba?” she added. </p><p>She continued: “Pero ako confident ako sa kanya na kaya ka nandito, kasi ikaw ‘yan. Meron kang talent na talagang maipapakita na ikaw talaga ‘yan.” </p><div><iframe width="838" height="471" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cNqGfVQLu2k" title="The Many Sides of CIANNE: Sweet Singer, Sexy Babe &amp; Fur Mom | MYX Now" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The 25-year-old singer and host also shared that working alongside her sister has been a source of comfort — giving her a sense of family close by, even on days when she can&#x27;t see the rest of her loved ones at home.</p><p>“Sobrang happy ako kasi kasama ko siya every day. Kasi siyempre hindi naman na madaling umuuwi ng bahay. So, at least, may mafi-feel kang family,” Cianne said. </p><p>“Tulad neto lang. Nag-beach kaming dalawa, nag-Tagaytay kaming dalawa. Kasi nag-gu-grow din ‘yung relationship namin as siblings,” she added. </p><p>In a separate interview, Chloe opened up about what it&#x27;s like working with her younger sister on the show.</p><p>“Actually, parang every day is a [great] moment kasi hindi ako masyadong nakakakita pa ng artist na kasama ‘yung kapatid nila sa work,” Chole said. </p><p>Despite being the older sibling, Chloe revealed that it has been Cianne who has been guiding her ever since she entered the industry — not the other way around. </p><div><iframe width="838" height="471" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hnEfmuVqSVI" title="BABY DOLLS Have A Lot More To Offer After &quot;Ikembot Mo&quot; | MYX Now" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Perhaps the most important lesson Cianne imparted to Chole was this: to choose her battles wisely.</p><p>“Hindi ako nahirapan kasi since nauna siya sa akin ng two years, naga-guide niya ako na ‘Ate, ito ‘yung mga pwede mong i-absorb at mga hindi mo pwedeng i-absorb,” Chole shared. </p><p>“Kasi mas emotional ako sa kanya. So naging shield ko siya sa mga unwanted or mga unnecessary na pwedeng dumaan sa akin,” she added. </p><div> </div><div><em>—By Paolo Lim</em></div>
