We’ve been seeing Joshua Garcia hanging out with Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla‘s barkada (also known as the Nguya Squad) more often, and they’re seriously the cutest group of people on our feeds right now! Joshua recently took to Instagram to show his appreciation for his newfound *squad*, writing in the caption:

“These beautiful people saved me from drowning in loneliness. Surround yourselves with positive energies during these times, my friends, because there are days in our lives that we all need to swim on our own. I am missing the sun and the gang.”

The heartfelt message was accompanied by beach photos of Joshua with the group, and he tagged Sofia Andres, Daniel Miranda, Ria Atayde, Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Patrick Sugui, and Aeriel Garcia.

Ria commented, “Same. I feel you. Def looking forward to more memories and moments with all of you!” while Kathryn wrote, “Can’t wait for the next one!” Joshua’s fans couldn’t help but gush too, saying that they were happy he ~finally~ found the right people.

ICYMI, Joshua and the group also went on a camping trip in July…

…and had a fancy *aviation-themed* dinner at the Palacio De Memoria in August.

Of course, it’s no secret that Kath, Daniel, and Joshua have been longtime friends. In 2019, during the ASAP Natin ‘To Bay Area afterparty, Joshua was spotted sitting alone at a table, so Kath and Daniel switched tables to be with him. Grabe, what a sweet moment, no?

Here’s a toast to friend
