Always glamorous, TV host and actress Jackielou Blanco is now a grandmother of her son Kenneth’s baby name Ethan. That makes Jackie Lou's mom (Pilita Corrales) a great grandmother now. Jackie Lou admits she spoils her grandson the way Pilita gave her grandchildren what their little hearts desired.

“Iba ang feeling na maging lola,” she gushes. "Iba ung love to your children, iba ang love sa apo, masayang masaya," she adds.

Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano and Gary Valenciano are now grandparents as their son, Paolo and wife Samantha Godinez-Valenciano, have a baby girl, now 10 months old.

Producer and writer, Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano, shared how happy she is now being a grandmother.
