Throughout the years, the local showbiz scene has produced so many icons in various fields such as acting and music. But these next-generation kids are now taking the center stage and claiming their time to shine. Curious about the children of showbiz personalities? From budding entrepreneurs to rising actors, here are a few celebrity children you should know about:

Callie Ahmee

You might know Callie's mom as the ever fierce Daniela Mondragon-Bartolome on Kadenang Ginto. Instead of trying out acting, Callie instead channels her mom's entrepreneurial chops by starting her own proudly homegrown clothing brand called Cal. Aside from being a businesswoman, Cal also has a YouTube channel where she shares more about her artistic pursuits and personal life.

Jayda Avanzado

As the only child of OPM icons Jessa Zaragoza and Dingdong Avanzado, it isn't a surprise to see that Jayda grew up to become a powerhouse singer as well. Aside from being a singer-songwriter, Jayda also knows how to play instruments. The 18-year-old has already performed as an opening act for various international artists, including Niall Horan, The Vamps, Before You Exit, and The Tide.

Sam Cruz

Signed under Universal Records, Sam Cruz is one of the up-and-coming artists to watch for in the local music scene. She's also one of the newest member of The Squad Plus, a group of Gen Z stars that initially began as Kadenang Ginto's The Gold Squad. Aside from music, Sam is also delving into acting—the expertise of her parents Cesar Montano and Sunshine Cruz—as part of the rom-com TV series Unloving U's cast.

Erika Rae Portunak

Just like her mom Ina Raymundo, Erika has the star quality in her. In 2020, she signed with Cornerstone Entertainment as one of their artists. Erika also appeared on TV5's Sunday Noon Live and is currently attending Berklee College of Music in the US.

Joaquin Domagoso

Despite being the son of former matinee idol and current Manila mayor Isko Moreno, Joaquin hopes to break out into the showbiz scene and work his way towards making a name for himself. Signed under GMA Artist Center, Joaquin recently starred in First Yaya where he was paired in a loveteam with fellow Gen Z star Cassy Legaspi.
