MANILA, Philippines — Marian Rivera-Dantes is one of the busiest and most influential actresses working in the country today.

From the box-office phenomenon “Rewind,” her 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival entry with husband Dingdong Dantes, to the top-rating “My Guardian Angel”on GMA 7, Marian has a lot going on.

But her greatest role remains to be as a protective mom to her equally beautiful kids Zia and Sixto, who are both growing up too fast.

She’s confident, though, that her extremely active kids will be healthy and happy with the help of their partner, Ceelin Plus, introduced in 2009, touted to be the only vitamin brand for kids with patented ZincPlus Technology, ensuring the stability of Vitamin C when combined with Zinc, which gives kids the right amount of nutrients in every dose as part of their growth and to strengthen their immunity.

Incidentally, the brand celebrated its 50th anniversary at the Unilab Bayanihan Center in Mandaluyong City on May 17. Hosted by Patty Laurel-Filart, the event featured a panel discussion about the joys and challenges of motherhood.

“Importante para sa akin ang kalusugan ng mga anak ko, kaya naman kasama ko ang Ceelin sa pagpapalakas ng immunity ni Zia and Sixto para sa kanilang pang araw-araw na adventures at activities bilang mga bata, pati na rin kapag may sakit sila. Mahalaga sa akin na palakasin ang immunity nila may sakit man sila o wala.” Marian shared.

Another highlight of the event was when the brand pledged P500,000 worth of products to Caritas Philippines, its community partner, as part of its continued effort in sharing the gift of immunity to Filipino children, especially the less fortunate.

“Through the years, it has always been our mission to help Filipino children have a strong immunity, as we believe this is the key to enriching their lives. As we look to the future, our commitment remains unchanged: to safeguard the health and happiness of the next generation of Filipino children. With Ceelin by their side, parents can rest assured that their children are equipped to enjoy a fulfilling, healthy life,” said Rachel Mistal, brand manager.

Marian, ever the doting mom, offered another golden nugget of wisdom:

“Gagawin natin po-proteksyunan natin ang ating mga anak sa abot ng ating makakaya. Para hindi sila magka-kasakit. Pero syempre, tulad ngamga anak ko. Nag-aaral sila. Lumalabas sila.

“Kung sinu-sino nakaka-salamuha nila in school, may mga classamtes sila na pumapasok na may cough or may sipon na pinapapasok.

“So hindi natin maiiwasan na mahahawa sila. So ‘yan ang lagi namin worry mag-asawa.”
