Kris sees herself in Ryzza Mae

MANILA - Television host Kris Aquino expressed her admiration for Ryzza Mae Dizon, saying that she sees herself in the child actress. During an episode of her morning talk show, "Kris TV," aired on Thursday, Aquino told her "My Little Bossings" co-stars Vic Sotto and Jose Manalo that she and Dizon have a lot of similarities. "Totoo 'yon, napansin ko 'yon [na magaling siya] and she's innately curious and she's really chismosa, 'yung parang 'yung pinag-uusapan ay maaalala," she said. "Nakikita ko nga 'yung sarili ko sa kanya, na ' oh my God, ako ito.' Super relate na relate talaga ako. 'Yung parang pinag-usapan tapos malayo, tapos biglang titingin na siya. Pero nakakaaliw in that sense," she added. Meanwhile, Aquino praised Sotto and the rest of his co-hosts on the noontime show "Eat Bulaga" for allowing Dizon to "be a kid" despite her celebrity status. "Ang maganda, I think also, is she is still given the opportunity to be a kid," she said. Sotto, for his part, recognized Dizon's hosting skills. "I think it has a lot to do with her show, she's learning a lot from her show. At that young age mapapa-host mo. But of course, with a lot of coaching. And credit goes to the staff, 'yung handlers nila, sina Jenny, sina Jack. But of course, kahit anong galing ng handler, kung hindi magaling 'yung hina-handle, wala ring mangyayari," he said. He added that he and the rest of his co-hosts continue to do their best to make Dizon's experience on the set fun and light. "We make it a point na tuluy-tuloy pa rin 'yung laro niya. Para sa akin naman, 'yun naman 'yung importante. It's not all work, it should be work and play and that 's how we enjoy work. It's like parang nanglalaro lang kami every day for the past 34 or 35 years," he said.
