In turning 18 years old this year, Golden Cañedo made sure the milestone would be more meaningful to her by donating sacks of rice to her hometown of Minglanilla in Cebu.

"Sobrang sarap at gaan pala sa feeling ng magshare ka ng blessings galing kay Lord. Eto po ay sa lungsod po sa amin kung saan po ako lumaki which is Minglanilla. Naisip ko po sila sa panahong ngayon na alam ko kung gano sila kahirap ngayon kaya sa konti naming nakaya ay nakapagbigay kame ng konting regalo sa mga nangangailangan ngayon. Hindi man lahat ay nakatanggap pero gagawin po namin ang best namin na makapagbigay kame ulit...," she wrote on the description box of the video she uploaded last April titled: "Golden Canedo: Giving Back To My Hometown in Minglanilla."

In a press interview few days ago for the release of her new song “Walang Hanggang Sandali,” Golden revealed the money came from her savings supposedly meant for a debut celebration.

“Instead of ako ang makakatanggap (ng gifts), ako na lang ang magbibigay para sa mga kababayan ko," she said. "Kasi naririnig ko lagi sa lola ko na ganito, ganyan, sobrang daming naghihirap, sobrang daming nagugutom."

At home, Golden and her family simply enjoyed eating home-cooked meal and singing karaoke on her special day.

She also talked about her boyfriend and their long distance relationship. Recall that last Aug. 14, Golden posted on Instagram a photo of her BF named Martin Raval.

"Nasa States siya, nagaaral po siya," she said. "May business po sila."

They were introduced to each other last year when she did a concert in New York. Later, she finally replied to his message on Facebook sent a year earlier and from there, love blossomed.

"Siguro may plan talaga si God at may reason ang lahat," she smiled. "Siya ang first boyfriend ko na super suportado ng family ko. Sobrang guided kami ng parents namin kaya siguro kahit long-distance relationship kami ay umabot kami ng ganito katagal."
