There’s no doubt about it: Jhong Hilario and partner Maia Azores are raising a future superstar. Their daughter, two-year-old Sarina Oceania, is social media’s newest bundle of joy, thanks to her potential in acting and singing and her cute antics. Watch the video to get up close with the “Sample Princess”!“Madlang People”, as solid <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/itshowtime">It’s Showtime</a> viewers are called, were thrilled when Jhong announced Sarina’s birth in March 2021, although he decided to withdraw from the program and his other show at the time, Your Face Sounds Familiar, to protect his then-newborn baby from getting sick amid the pandemic.For an extended period of time, Jhong was stuck at home basking in bliss from being a new parent. This formed the solid foundation of his bond with Sarina. He seized the time they spent together at home while making sure Sarina doesn’t experience lag in skills, contrary to what is said about pandemic babies. He&#x27;s exposed Sarina to music, specifically old songs, and let her watch educational shows like “Songs for Littles” by Rachel Accurso, better known as Ms. Rachel, who surprised Sarina with a birthday greeting last March.“Gumagawa kami ng ikaka-busy namin at ikaka-busy ni Sari para, at least, kahit nasa bahay lang siya lagi pa rin siyang natututo,” said Jhong in this vlog episode from Bernadette Sembrano’s YouTube channel. Maia added that they tried their best to expose Sarina outside, such as by means of beach vacations, as soon as the lockdown restrictions eased up.Sarina is a natural. She’s always in the mood to pose in front of the camera and grant photo ops with her fans. Both her parents agree that she got her extroverted personality from her Daddy Jhong, though they still argue about who the child looks like.“’Yun ang pinangarap kong baby talaga, ‘yung sobrang bibo,” said Maia, who is flattered with her daughter’s growing popularity. Jhong added that he’s thankful for Sarina’s ability to make people smile at her age, “Kasi alam ko ‘yung feeling na nakakapagpasaya ng tao. Talagang nakaka-overwhelm ‘yung sinasabi ng mga tao na stress-reliever nila si Sarina, especially ‘yung mga seniors.”Sarina spreads good vibes online through her videos with her Daddy Jhong. Apart from playing together, they dance (of course!) and have their mini-acting workshops at home where Sarina shows off her crying, laughing, and angry facial expressions. They also jam a lot together – “Fly Me To The Moon” and “Moon River” are their favorite songs to sing. Sarina is showing interest in the piano as well.Thanks to technology, it has been so easy to capture these adorable snippets of Sarina. In addition to that, Mommy Maia loves to preserve Sarina’s memories and milestones in a baby book. She writes down important events including photos and keeps memorabilia from special occasions like the mittens Sarina wore in the hospital and balloons from her first birthday party. Maia got this idea from her own baby book, which was thoughtfully organized and kept by her mom.Bernadette then surprised Sarina with a Snow White doll, and she was so amazed as the little girl knows the lyrics of Snow White’s song from the film.
