Vilma Santos Shocked by Baby Peanut’s Hilarious Teasing of Daddy Luis Manzano

Veteran actress and beloved “Star for All Seasons” Vilma Santos couldn’t help but express her surprise and amusement after witnessing a hilarious interaction between her granddaughter, Baby Peanut, and her son, Luis Manzano. The adorable moment, which quickly circulated online through family vlogs and fan pages, showcased a side of Baby Peanut that is as witty as she is charming — and has the internet collectively laughing along.

It all began when Vilma visited Luis and Jessy Mendiola’s home over the weekend to spend quality time with their one-year-old daughter, Baby Peanut. As the family enjoyed a relaxed afternoon together, Luis playfully attempted to teach Baby Peanut how to say “Daddy.” But instead of responding sweetly, Baby Peanut looked at him with a mischievous smile and blurted out, “Dada… funny face!” while pointing at his nose. The whole room erupted in laughter — especially Vilma, who was completely shocked by the toddler’s unexpected joke.

Vilma Santos, known for her poise and grace, was seen covering her mouth in surprise before laughing out loud. “Oh my gosh! Saan mo natutunan ‘yan?” she asked Baby Peanut, who just giggled and ran to hide behind her Lola Vi. The legendary actress later shared in a candid interview that she was “shocked but incredibly amused” at her granddaughter’s growing personality. “Napakatalino niya at may sense of humor talaga,” Vilma remarked.

The wholesome moment has since gone viral on social media, with netizens calling Baby Peanut “a certified entertainer just like her parents.” Many commented that she inherited not only her father’s sense of humor but also the charm and grace of her famous grandmother. The video clip, initially shared by Jessy on her Instagram story, has been reshared thousands of times by fan pages and has quickly become a trending topic among Filipino entertainment fans.

Luis, of course, took the joke in stride. “Mukhang ako na ang favorite target ng asar ni Baby Peanut,” he jokingly wrote in the caption. Known for his quick wit and hosting skills, Luis seemed proud that his daughter was already showing signs of being a natural entertainer. In a separate interview, he expressed how moments like these make fatherhood even more special and unforgettable.

Jessy Mendiola, ever the proud mom, said that Baby Peanut has been learning new words rapidly and loves making people laugh. “She really likes to make us smile. She copies everything and watches our reactions. She’s very observant, like her dad,” Jessy shared.

Family members and friends have also chimed in on social media, with celebrities like Anne Curtis, Iza Calzado, and Nikki Gil commenting on how adorable and smart Baby Peanut is. Anne Curtis even joked, “Luis, kalaban mo na si Peanut sa hosting!”

Vilma Santos later posted a heartfelt message on her Facebook page, expressing her joy and gratitude for being able to witness her granddaughter’s milestones. “Being a grandmother is truly one of life’s greatest blessings,” she wrote. “Every laugh, every hug, every funny moment like today fills my heart with so much happiness.”

As Baby Peanut continues to grow under the spotlight of one of showbiz’s most well-loved families, it’s clear she’s already capturing hearts not just through her cuteness but also through her natural comedic timing. If this moment is any indication, Baby Peanut might just be a future star in the making — and Vilma Santos, though shocked, couldn’t be prouder.

With such a close-knit and loving family surrounding her, it’s no surprise that Baby Peanut is growing up joyful, smart, and incredibly entertaining. Whether she follows in her Lola Vi’s footsteps or carves a path of her own, one thing is certain: this little girl already knows how to steal the spotlight.
