As we approach Mother’s Day 2025, actress and new mother Ria Atayde shared a heartfelt reflection on the qualities she inherited from her mother, Sylvia Sanchez, in an exclusive interview with BANDERA. Known for her loving, generous, and supportive nature, Sylvia raised her children with deep care and respect, and Ria acknowledges the profound influence her mother has had on her own parenting.
In her interview, Ria said, “Siguro yung willingness to give everything you can, like energy and time, all of that, I think that’s what I got sa nanay ko. And maybe yung pagiging…grabe kasi siyang mag-worry. Pero medyo siya yung mas praning,” referring to Sylvia’s tendency to worry, a trait Ria humorously admits to having inherited.

Now a mother herself to Baby Sabino, Ria has gained a new understanding and admiration for the struggles that come with motherhood. “I used to be very grateful to all mothers because the work and effort they put in for us children but now I’m a mother myself, I now understand how difficult it is to give up the autonomy of yourself,” she shared.
Ria’s heartfelt message for all mothers is as follows: “So, I hope in your day to day you’ll be able to find support, find time to breath, and find time for yourself so you would not lose yourself and enjoy motherhood.”
Meanwhile, Sylvia expressed her immense pride for Ria, saying, “Even when you were little, while I was away at work, you instinctively took on the role of protector and nurturer for your siblings. And now, seeing you step into this beautiful new chapter, my heart overflows with pride.” She ended her message with a loving note: “I know you will be an incredible mother to Sabino! Love u, my Potpot.”
