Kathryn Bernardo received a heartfelt message from her mom, Min, in celebration of her 28th birthday.

On Instagram, Min shared a carousel of photos, including a solo portrait of the Kath and a family picture, and said,  “Shout out to you my daughter, you haven’t felt okay lately but you get up everyday and refuse to quit.”

According to Min, she appreciates Kath’s “desire to talk and share your problems, ideas and opinions“ as well as “how you consider the guidance of our family in every step of the way.”

She then wished Kathryn a happy birthday.

In the slides, Min also included some quotes, including “The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who treat you with love, kindness, and respect.”

Kathryn celebrated her birthday at a beach in El Nido, Palawan, where the likes of Alden Richards and the rest of “Hello, Love goodbye” cast, Jericho Rosales, and Dominic Roque attended.

She was a total vision in a white Mark Bumgarner piece.

Apart from marking her birthday with the honor of being the first Filipino ambassador of Lancome, Kathryn also received a birthday greeting from her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Padilla. The former couple announced their split in November last year.
