The video cuts to Sarina’s preparation with her Mommy Maia, who unleashed her ‘stage mother’.Sarina was excited to visit her dad’s office, as well be given her dressing room fit for a future superstar. Backstage, she kept practicing her greeting until it was time for her to come on stage and surprise her dad.This baby is such a natural! She had fun dancing and making cute faces in front of the madlang people. Of course, to mark her first <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> live appearance, Sarina did her “What’s up, madlang people?” shout.After the segment, she got to bond with the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itsshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> hosts, who are mostly her ninongs and ninangs. Ninong Ryan Bang promised her a gift, while Ninang Anne Curtis serenaded her with a song fit for a princess.She also got to meet the “Isip Bata” gang — Kulot, Argus, Jaze, Imogen, and Lucas — backstage and gave them gifts. Sarina interacted with Ate Kim Chiu and Ninang Karylle, too.There’s no doubt about it: Jhong and Maia are raising a future superstar, as Baby Sari was so effortless in making the madlang people happy. But most especially, they are raising a sweet and loving kid.
