“As I sit here and look back, I can’t help but remember being that young girl from Cebu. Every Sunday, my mom would bring me to church—either at the Sto. Niño Church or Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Most of the time, it was just the two of us. She would always tell me: ‘Istoryaa ang Ginoo. Ingna Siya unsa imong ganahan,'” she wrote.
“So I did. I prayed for good grades. I prayed for someone to help send us to school. I prayed for a house we could finally call our own. I prayed that one day we’d never have to keep asking for help. I prayed that I would have enough so I could help my family,” she added.
She thought that her prayers wouldn’t come true, but years later, she is finally “living the life” she once prayed so hard for.
As a way to express her gratitude, she thanked her fans and everyone else who became a part of her two-decade-long journey as an actress.
“To my solid supporters who have loved and supported me unconditionally for two decades—thank you. Your time, effort, loyalty, and belief in me mean more than words can ever express. Thank you for growing with me and for standing by me through every season of my life,” she said.
“I always say this, but it’s true: Kung may sobra pa sa salitang ‘SALAMAT,’ yun po ang gusto kong sabihin sa inyong lahat,” she affirmed. “Maraming, maraming salamat po. Cheers to 20 years!!!! And hopefully more and more!!! Love you all!!! MARAMING MARAMING SALAMAT PO!!!”
Both celebrities and fans alike congratulated the actress on the career milestone.
“Words will never be enough to express how proud I am of you and how much you inspire me. Happy 20th, @chinitaprincess!!!” Bianca Gonzales wrote.
