According to the event’s official website, the awards, which is one of the highlights at The Baby & Family Expo 2013, is meant to honor celebrity kids, parents and families who have been a “great inspiration and role model to Filipino families.”
Dizon, “Eat Bulaga” Little Miss Philippines for 2012, and Yap, the son of popular TV host Kris Aquino, are paired in the Metro Manila Film Festival 2013 offering “Torky And My Little Bossing.” The young rising stars garnered the honor through online public voting via the event’s official site.
Also to be recognized at the same event are celebrity husband and wife Ryan Agoncillo and Judy Ann Santos who, along with kids Johanna (Yohan Lois) and Juan Luis (Lucho), will be awarded the “Golden Family of the Year”
Meanwhile, Regine Tolentino and Lander Vera-Perez are to be honored as “Golden Couple of the Year.”
Aside from honoring these celebrities, of course, the event will also celebrate non-showbiz individuals as “ParentPreneurs.”
The event website explained that ParentPreneurs are the modern day moms and dads who have successfully “balanced parenthood and their role as an entrepreneur” through “hard work and dedication.”
The event in itself, which carries the theme “Welcoming Life, Love and Care,” celebrates the “gift of life and family” by “fostering an intimate environment encouraging bonding and unity through community discussions, shopping opportunities and fun activities.”
Set to add color to the event billed as the “ultimate family affair” is RJ Ledesma, who will give audiences “Daddy 101″ tips.
“Starstruck” avenger Jade Lopez, on the other hand, will conduct “Right Start,” an advocacy talk.
Former beauty queen-turned-actress Maria Isabel Lopez and MTRCB board member Gladys Reyes will also hold a charity bazaar at the event for the benefit of the victims of typhoon ‘Yolanda.’
