The It's Showtime mainstay host opened her greeting with an admission that she "Got a lot of requests wanting to see more of Dahlia!!!!"
She reacted jokingly, "Paano na me? Char. Hahahaha. I'm kidding."
After giving in to the request and sharing a photo of Dahlia in a Christmas outfit, Anne explained why she and husband Erwan Heussaff have agreed to set boundaries when it comes to their three-year-old daughter's personal space.
"We make a conscious effort not to post her all the time," she related.
"I know you guys understand why."

Modern ways of parenting place emphasis on respecting kids as individuals with minds and decisions of their own.
Anne conveyed the message that if consent is important to adults, so it is with kids.
"For those who happen to bump into us in public places and ask for photos with her, I always ask you to ask her first," she expressed.
"If she says ‘no’ I hope you understand. Walang pilitan siyempre."
Regardless of Dahlia's decision, the celebrity mom assured that photo requests with her alone is already imperative: "But if it’s me, I always say yes naman!
"Basta Hindi ako in the middle of a literal na 'mothering' moment. Because at the end of the day, yun na po top priority ko."
