Happy birthday, Daniel!

Ahead of the 29th birthday of Daniel Padilla on April 26, 2024, the Kapamilya star paid a visit to the Center for Health Improvement and Life Development, simply CHILD Haus.

The foundation, which began in 2004, opened its doors as a temporary shelter for children who are battling cancer.

DANIEL CELEBRATES WITH CHILD HAUS KIDS

Photos and videos of Daniel mingling with the staff and patients began surfacing since April 20 — the day of his surprise visit.

Most of these were reshared on his official fanpage, Danielrocks Official.

Some of the snap shots captured Daniel holding colorful cards and origami flowers from the group of kids.

At one point, he stood in front of the room to receive a certificate and give out his speech of gratitude.

On April 23, Star Magic handler Luz Bagalacasa also uploaded an Instagram reel from the early birthday celebration.

Set to the insturmental jazz rendition of Moon River, the video showed Daniel’s arrival at CHILD Haus until the group photo op.

NEW PET DOG

One of the highlights of Daniel’s visit to the facility was receiving a memorable gift through a puppy that was presented to Daniel as a birthday gift.

His name Sunny Ford is complementary to his other dog, Summer Ford.

During the 2 Good 2 Be True press conference for the grand finale of his and Kathryn Bernardo‘s show, on October 25, 2022, Daniel referred to Summer as the definition of loyalty.

He said, in a video that has now gone viral: “Alam mo sino pinaka-loyal? Yung aso ko, si Summer.

“Yun yung pinaka-loyal, dun ko makikita yung definition ng loyalty.”

Daniel explained, “Na kahit ano man ang pinagdadaanan ko ngayon, kung ano man ang sitwasyon at emosyon ko ngayon, kahit sino ako ngayon, tatanggapin ako ng buong-buo nun.

“Yun ang loyalty, walang judgment.”
