Ina Raymundo introduces eldest daughter Erika to the public
‘The Next Sabado Nights Girl’ is what Kapuso actress Ina Raymundo tags her eldest daughter as she finally reveals information about the 14-year-old Erika who “wants anonymity.” (“Sabado Nights” refers to Ina’s infamous 1990s San Miguel Beer commercial.)
On her Instagram account, Ina posts a mirror selfie on November 15 of Erika with her son Jacob that was taken last Halloween, captioning it, “Meet my beautiful eldest daughter, Erika with her brother Jakob.”
In a previous interview with PEP.ph, Ina reported that a lot of people are curious about her eldest child, but she doesn’t want to be on her mother’s Instagram adding, “I truly respect that, but I just want to share that my 14-year-old daughter is beautiful, smart, super strong (like her dad) and very independent.”
Ina is married to Ukranian-Canadian Brian Poturnak, who works as a businessman. Besides their eldest daughter Erika, the couple has four more kids together: 14-year-old Jacob, 10-year-old Mikaela, 8-year-old Anika, and 5-year-old Minka.
Recently, Ina opened up to The Asian Parent Philippines about the struggles of raising a biracial family with Brian, whom she met at the age of 24. In her words, “When it came to planning how we were to raise our family, we didn’t sit down and discuss with each other in the beginning,” adding, “It has always been what comes naturally and what feels right.
” In the end, although Ina said that Brian does not always see eye-to-eye with her who believes in being a “close-knit” family, she says, “one of the things I love about being married to a foreigner [is] I’m free to be more outspoken and forward with what I say,” referring to its liberation and women empowerment.
