Hoy! Kahit di ko alam ang birthday mo pero ang tanging alam ko ikaw ang isa sa dahilan ng pagpasa ko sa board exam😂 Nagbunga ang lahat ng ng pagbuntot buntot ko sayo nung College habang chinichika mo sakin ang mga pasabog at sikretong malupet mo nuon! Salamat dahil hanggang ngayon, di mo pa din kami ina-unfriend ni Eta!😂

Labyu Tadsi! Alam kong masaya ka sa buhay mo ngayon kaya ang tanging hiling ko lang ay mahabang buhay at libreng kape sa Siento! G? Maligayang kaarawan, KU!😘😘

Happy 40th Birthday, Kuya Neil!!! Still can't wrap my head around the fact that you're 40! Where did all the time go?! And you don't look 40 at all! Vampire yarn?! Hahahaha! 😂 Mama and I miss you so much! Hope you're having the most incredible day ever. May your special day be filled with lots of love, joy, and blessings. Have fun today! Love you! Hope to see you soon! 💗🥰🎂✨

Just like this photo, our friendship has been off-center the past 6 years (yes, it’s been that long!). But like the mountains of the Cordilleras, your friendship is ever present and reassuring. The meaningful silence has served me more comfort than any short-lived fairy tale friendships I’ve had in recent memory. I know you will always be there for me. So here I am for you on your special day. Happy birthday, Nay! 40, really?!

Suprising to know that you are 40! You look young. <3 Happy, happy birthday! Thanks for experiencing the immersive play, together with Jerard and Ma'am Rose. I remember you sharing your experience. "Binulong ko na lahat ng sama ng loob ko sa puno." Heartbroken, indeed, but never defeated.

Wish you health, wealth, happiness, and a life of meaning through Love in action!

Cheers,

Hey D! I can't believe you're 40. I thought you were just... 39. I'm wishing you a happier birthday than your 39th then! HAHAHA.

I'm so grateful to have met a kind and compassionate person in you. You and J will always be #couplegoals.

All the best and please share your age-defying secret/s. Is it Evian? Makiling Mud pack? Pansol water? Charot.

Cheers to many more birthdays, Dylan! Sending love wherever you are and wherever you will be.

❤️‍🩹 Happiest 40th birthday, dearest Dylan! A heart to heart huggy wuggy! ❤️‍🩹

On this you're very special day, I whispered  to  Jesus  during the Consecration in the Holy Mass, that He bestow on you and your  family abundant blessings always and forever. I know that Daddy Francisco too is always interceding for you in heaven.

I thanked the Lord for His gift of life to you and for the precious bond of love we share!

I always look forward to your visits to LB and thank you for your charming and gentle ways, and the warmth of your presence.

Special thanks, Dylan dear,  for enriching the content and pedagogical techniques in my MST 123 class and in guiding me in barely trodden paths of educational research. You're my beloved mentor who is full of wisdom and knowledge.

Keep on spreading love wherever you  go through your dazzling smiles, a generous  heart, and wisdom-filled Spirit.

❤️‍🩹 We love you, Dylan! Always take care and know that you have a family in Los Baños who thinks the world of you! ❤️‍🩹

Your Mama 🌹

Dylan! Happy birthday! Salamat dahil napaka-gracious and light mo kapag nagkikita tayo. Naalala ko nung dati na nagkita tayo out of the blue sa oblation grounds. Kasama mo noon si Jerard and kasama ko naman pamilya ko aka my pamilee. Hahahaha! Sabi mo, parang nakakatuwa na tinawag ko talaga kayo kasi pwede namang hindi na. Napaisip din ako nun kasi minsan ayokong namamansin kahit kakilala ko naman. So I must really like you guys. HAHAHA arte! Anyway, looking forward ako to more kwentuhans kasi feeling ko ikaw yung type na hindi judgemental and very very open sa iba't ibang pagtingin. Hahaha. See you around or something hahaha arte.

To the person whose heart is in the rightest of right place, hmmm... Maligayang 40th!!!

I could not be any happier and grateful na ikaw is in our midst, beneath, and above pa nga kasi you tend to see right through us.

Salamat for the person that you are - ever present, supportive, and for advocating that there can always be a 'brave & kind' side to anything, everything.

You are an inspiration to me with the many heartful, selfless things that you do - para sa ating pamilya, sa iyong kapwa, sa maraming mga pusa at sa kung sino at ano pa.  Ha ha!

Cheers to the countless lives you’ve lived already & to those yet to come!

Love you, Baby Bwadew!

Happy, happy birthday! 🥳

I adore you po, so much! You're so talino and open-minded po. Naaalala ko pa before kapag pinapagalitan ako ni mama, sa inyo po ako napunta, haha. Kahit sarado isip ni mama sa mga pinagtalunan namin that time, you shared your opinions pa rin regarding those matters, not to justify kung anong ginagawa ko but, to let me know na naiintindihan niyo po ako and hindi niyo ini-invalidate ang emotions ko :') Naaalala ko rin nung isa po kayo sa naghatid sa'kin sa dorm and nag-comfort sa'kin nung time na naliligaw at walang-wala ako. Binigyan niyo pa nga po ako ng ukulele, hehe. Napaka-supportive ever 🥺 Sobrang appreciated po 'yon lahat! ♥️ In fact, you inspire me po to do the same— ang subukang sabihin ang mga dapat sabihin, intindihin ang mga kayang intindihin, at gawin ang mga nararapat gawin nang hindi natatakot sa judgment ng iba, basta nasa tama. I will forever look up to you po because you're one of the few people I know worth admiring. Love you, Tito Neil🫰

Hugs and kisses,
Phia

I wish you nothing but the best on your birthday 💗

Unfortunately, I couldn’t remember the first time I met you, kuya Dylan. I think it might have been in Enchanted Kingdom amidst the loud crowd and rushing rides. But I do remember the small moments I knew you’d be a significant figure in our lives—

When you showed me the heart-to-heart hug,

When you, without any hesitation, welcomed me to your home in Libertad,

When we you walked alongside me in the Visayas, in campus, and everywhere,

When you took me to the bank on my 18th birthday,

When you let me sleep beside you and Kuya J,

When you had breakfast, lunch, and dinner with us,

When you bought that fish painting I made,

When you checked up on me when I snapped and broke down,

When you just waited for me to stop crying and talk to you,

When you step out of the car every time you visit,

and so much more.

And I cannot be thankful enough for all the time you have been there with and for us.

You, kuya Dylan, are my favorite brother (don’t tell my other kuyas!).

Love, Thea
