"To my firstborn, @loringabriella
Today, you turn 18 years old. These are exciting times for you: just graduated from high school, going to college, starting your career with @vivaartistsagency, the opportunities coming your way are endless.
"Don’t be in such a hurry to grow up. Savour your youth. Yes, you’re officially an adult, but that definition means being responsible with all aspects of your life.
"Be a leader, not a follower. Chase your dreams, travel the world, pursue your goal of taking up law, be a good girl - HUWAG MUNA MAG BOYFRIEND 
(gosh, I sound like my mom

"Choose to be kind and use your platform to be an inspiration to others. HAPPY 18!!!! Your family, @venicebektas and I will always be here for you throughout every facet of your life. We love you so much!! Xx"
