A netizen then asked dela Cruz if she is ready to entertain suitors as she turns 18 this year.
"Never pa po akong nagka-boyfriend, ever. So, mag e-eighteen na ako, so medyo kabado ako sa future kung anong magiging reaction ng family ko," she said.
A certified "ate's girl," she added that her suitors must first seek the approval of her sister, actress Angelica dela Cruz, before they start courting her.
"Sasakalin po ako ng ate ko," she quipped. "Siyempre, lahat po ng babae dadaan sa ganun e. In-expect ko naman po na medyo ganun po ang mangyayari sa akin."
The young stars of "You're My Home" Mika dela Cruz, Paul Salas and Sam Concepcion appeared on the morning show "Umagang Kay Ganda" on Monday, ahead of the soap's debut later that day.
