Aside from her flawless looks and post-birth figure, Marian Rivera inspires with how she remains motivated and committed to being a hands-on mom.
Her first daughter Maria Letizia just turned 1 but the hands-on mom already sounds like a pro when it comes to motherhood.
In a recent launch for her latest endorsement, she told GMA News that she longs to be an inspiration to women who might be harboring fears and doubts about becoming a mom.
“Gusto kong maging magandang ehemplo sa mga nanay na natatakot magbuntis, natatakot mag-iba ang shape nila kapag nagbuntis sila,” said the 32-year-old actress.
“Huwag silang matakot magbuntis. Puwede naman, basta alagaan nila ang sarili nila,” she cautions. “Kumain lang nang sapat. Ang sabi ko nga, lahat naman puwede, huwag lang sobra.”
“Gusto kong maging magandang ehemplo sa mga nanay na natatakot magbuntis, natatakot mag-iba ang shape nila kapag nagbuntis sila…”
She also shared that there’s no exact science to losing weight, she simply maintains a healthy diet, lifestyle and devotes time to exercise, often with her husband by running around their neighborhood together at least once a week.
“Hindi ako nagda-diet talaga kasi nagbe-breastfeed pa rin ako. Kung magda-diet ako, walang sustansyang makukuha ang anak ko sa gatas,” she clarifies. “Ang maganda, ‘yung asawa ko ang nagpupusiging mag-exercise kami. Sa village lang, tumatakbo kami.”
Dubbed the Primetime Queen, fans are eagerly awaiting her comeback to television after two years. She teased that her next project will be something the entirely family can enjoy.
