Rhea Manila Santos

When the youngest daughter of Francis Pangilinan and Sharon Cuneta marked Pride month this year by coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community, the Megastar and her husband were all out in supporting Miel&rsquo;s decision to be more open about her sexuality. This month, Sharon shares again just how proud she is of Miel, who is the cover model for NYLON Manila&rsquo;s anniversary issue.<a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/6/15/fresh-scoops/sharon-supports-daughter-miel-coming-out-as-queer-200720"></a><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/6/15/fresh-scoops/sharon-supports-daughter-miel-coming-out-as-queer-200720">READ: Sharon Cuneta supports daughter Miel Pangilinan coming out as queer: &lsquo;I love her just the same&rsquo;</a>On her Instagram account last November 24, Sharon shared why she is so proud of her 18-year-old daughter. She wrote, &ldquo;My Miel is incredibly confident. She has no body image issues and from our talks I sense that she wants to encourage girls and women to be proud of themselves no matter what the world demands that they do, say, or look like.&ldquo;I am also glad that her generation now looks down on body shaming (whether people are too thin or too curvy) and thinks of it as being so out and so low.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am extremely proud of her and all that she stands for! ❤️ 🙌🏻&ldquo;Also, not just because I&rsquo;m her Mama, but I think she is GORGEOUS &amp; BEEYOOTEEFUULL!!!🥰❤️ What a FACE, this girl. Yes we look alike&mdash;but I really believe she has a better version of my face!🤗🥰 Thank you, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nylonmanila/">@nylonmanila</a> for featuring my baby on your cover&mdash;her first, alone&mdash;without us, her ever-present support (or maybe even slightly annoying, &lsquo;stuck-to-each-other&rsquo;😊) group!
