Iya Villania is back to work after going on a maternity break to give birth to her fifth child with Drew Arellano.
Iya was all smiles in her yellow dress as she greeted "24 Oras" viewers on Tuesday evening.
"Hello, mga Kapuso! I'm back!" she said before delivering her first "Chika Minute" update.
At the end of the news program, Iya was welcomed back by anchors Mel Tiangco, Vicky Morales, and Emil Sumangil.
"Welcome back, Iya!" Mel said.
"Ang bagong kumadrona. Nagpaanak ba naman sa sarili," Vicky said.
Before she went back to work, Iya spent some time with her kids.
On Instagram Stories, the Kapuso broadcaster shared a video of herself carrying her newborn Anya with her firstborn Primo by her side.
"Back to work for me tomorrow," she said in the video. "Last day of my maternity leave."
Iya gave birth to Anya in February.
In November 2024, Iya said the pregnancy was not planned.
Aside from Anya and Primo, the couple, who got married in 2014, have three other kids: Leon, Alana, and Astro. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
