Xian Lim, Leonida Malatag at Mary Anne Lim
NAGPAPASALAMAT si Xian Lim dahil at 87 ay malakas pa rin ang kanyang lola. Ito ay sa kabila ng pagkakaroon nito ng breast cancer.
On his Instagram account, Xian posted a video of his lola’s birthday celebration.
“Lola turns 87. Thank you for the gift of life.
“The past two years were tough for @mommymaryanne and I. Lolo’s daily visit to the doctor and finding out lola has breast cancer. It’s devastating. It sucks.” That was his caption.
“When bad things happen, initial question is why me. Why us. Where is everyone? You notice that people just move on with their lives. Life goes on. No matter how heavy, no matter how hard.
“All we can do is be grateful for the gift of life, for the gift of friendship. For the gift that the man up above gave us strength to be a blessing to other people,” dagdag pa niya.
“I don’t know what I’m saying. I’m just babbling. At the end of the day, love everyone around you. Be a blessing. Be an inspiration. Radiate positivity.
“That’s what mama Leoni does every single day. She wakes up with a big smile on her face. Kudos to Mom for dedicating her life to lola, lolo and I.
“Lola is doing better now. She’s strong. She’s back to cleaning the pool. I don’t know why, it makes her happy daw. Lolo is back to climbing the roof and walking to the palenke. I try to stop him pero, nakakatakas at matigas ulo katulad ko,” say pa ng aktor.
In the end, pinasalamatan ni Xian ang ilang taong nag-contribute sa birthday celebration ng kanyang lola which included his girlfriend “It’s Showtime” host Kim Chiu.
“Thank you parebroski @jasonmontinola and @ana_montinola for coming sa munting celebration! Thank you my love @chinitaprincess for sending food. I know you’re super busy pero you still got to send us super yummy food,” say niya.

Binigyan ng pagpupugay ng ABS-CBN ang ang strong Kapamilya characters in celebration of Women’s Month. They highlighted the strong Kapamilya female characters who fearlessly rise above their struggles as a mother, wife, and daughter.
Una, si Jodi Sta. Maria as Jill in “The Broken Marriage Vow”, a loving mother and a feisty woman.
“Pagkatapos ng lahat ng nalaman ko, gusto kong bumalik ang dignidad ko… Lalaban. At patuloy na lalaban,” Jill declared menacingly after discovering her husband David’s (Zanjoe Marudo) two-year affair with Lexy (Sue Ramirez).
At first, Jill allowed herself to drown in her sorrow because of the betrayal of David and all of their close friends.
Second is Julia Montes as Mara in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”, a fearless assassin out to protect her family.
Coming from a family of farmers-turned-elite assassins, Mara was trained to have a “warrior mentality.”
She never backs down from any of their group’s missions, and at one point, she even single-handedly took down a group of armed men who threatened to kill her. But more than her headstrong personality, Mara truly cares for her family and is determined to make her parents proud.
Third si Sharon Cuneta as Aurora in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”, a headstrong lady with a compassionate heart.
Despite coming from one of the wealthiest families in the country, Aurora never felt entitled to anything in life and has always worked hard to get what she wants. She also gives a lot of importance to her values and principles as a person, which is why she promises to end her father’s illegal activities.
Fourth is Charlie Dizon as Rica in “Viral Scandal”, a resilient girl with a big heart to fight for other women.
Since the start, Rica showed a never-give-up attitude in battling the Ramones to obtain justice after the viral video destroyed her life and reputation. Despite the traumas she experienced, she bravely continued her life and pursued her dream to be a licensed architect.
And finally, Dimples Romana as Kakay in “Viral Scandal”, a selfless and bold mother.
As soon as she learned about Rica’s viral video, Kakay immediately left her stable career abroad to support her daughter’s fight for justice.
