Bakit pinili ni Dingdong at Marian na i-celebrate ang first birthday ni Zia through intimate and small celebrations?

Yesterday, November 23, Baby Zia celebrated her first birthday and based on their photos, Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera couldn't be any happier!

Even though both of their schedules are full with their projects and what not, Dong and Yan made it a point to free up that day to spend it with Zia.

According to Dong, "Kahapon, kaming tatlo lang, simple lang [and] very quiet. Parang ginawa rin namin siyang mini-vacation, day trip lang kasi wala din kami masyadong oras together kung hindi weekends lang kaya doon sa special day niya siniguro namin na talagang magkakasama kaming tatlo."

Unlike the usual first birthdays that most of us are used to, Dingdong and Yan planned for something more intimate in the coming weekend with their family. 

"Pero naman sa weekend, kasama naman namin 'yung family and 'yung mga ninong at ninang sa ibang araw din so we plan a series of mga pocket celebrations lang. Maliliit lang pero dapat din mayroong selebrasyon kahit papaano," he added.

They chose to do it this way because they're really prioritizing Baby Zia's happiness above all else, "Siguro sa stage kasi niya ngayon magandang mas intimate dahil mas makakasalamuha niya 'yung kaniyang pamilya ng mas maraming oras. Kasi kapag may party, maraming tao tapos baka hindi din niya makita ang lahat at hindi din ma-appreciate si Zia ng lahat, siyempre mapapagod dahil maraming activities. And I think hindi pa niya talaga gaanong maa-appreciate 'yung ganoong klaseng party so mas maganda talaga 'yung personal time, 'yun ang walang katumbas na kahit anumang halaga o laki ng party."
