The young star also revealed her love for drama projects, expressing: “Mga drama actresses po dahil I love drama.”
Zia rose to fame after starring in the Kapamilya series Saving Grace: The Untold Story, the local adaptation of Yuji Sakamoto’s Japanese drama Mother. She worked closely with Julia Montes, who played her elementary school teacher, and Sharon Cuneta, who appeared as a television host.
During the series run, Zia earned praise for her heartfelt performance culminating in her Best Supporting Actress in a TV Programme/Series Made in Asia win at the ContentAsia Awards 2025, held last September 4 in Taiwan.
She bested regional contenders including Emily Chan of Malaysia (The Best of Us), Wen Lin Fang of Taiwan (Though Dead, Still Alive), Pan Ling Ling of Singapore (Unforgivable), and Lei Tu of Taiwan (Illuminating Hearts).
Talking about her milestone, Zia shared how overjoyed she and her parents, Alex and Jen, felt.
