To celebrate her daughter Reigen’s 18th birthday, actress Regine Tolentino wrote a heartfelt letter enumerating the things she loves about her child.
“It has been a joy seeing you grow, from my precious, beautiful little white monkey to a simple, sweet and loving little girl with gorgeous hair that I love to braid,” wrote Tolentino on Instagram on Friday, Sept. 14. “You are one who never asks for material things and you choose not to be in the limelight and be the object of attention.”

Tolentino said that although Reigen is humble, her inner and outer beauty never fails to shine through. “What else can a mom ask for?” said Tolentino.
“I also love it how you’re such a joker!” she revealed. “I think everyone should know that you do such great impersonations! I seriously think you can be a stand-up comedian one day!”

I can’t be any more proud of the outstanding young lady you have become. You give me reason, you give me life!”
