Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo made sure their eldest daughter Yohan got her sweet 16 celebration even in quarantine.
The family hosted a virtual birthday party and to make it festive, Yohan got a lavender backdrop with balloons and her name in script. Instead of a cake, she had a tower of tasty pastries as her birthday treat, as seen in Santos’s Instagram post on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Yohan was wiping her tears with her parents at her side during an online call with family and friends. The last slide was a video of Yohan looking at her mom and saying, “Thank you for everything… there’s more but my tears are showing everything.”
Santos, who adopted Yohan when she was 26, got sentimental in her message for her first child.
“Happy sixteenth baby love… oh how [I] wish [I] could still cuddle you from the first day [I] fell in love with you… you have grown so fast!” she said.
“You will always be my first love sweetheart… you are one of God’s greatest [blessings] and will forever be mommy and daddy’s baby girl!”
“We love you so much sweetie pie… [I] know, in my heart… that we were meant to be,” she said.
Agoncillo posted photos from the intimate event where Yohan looked pretty in an off-shoulder top and a flower crown.
He looked back to Yohan’s first birthday and recalled, “Mom and Dad weren’t a couple yet, but we were already family.”
When Santos and Agoncillo wed in 2009, Yohan, then 4, was of course part of their ceremony. The celebrity couple has two younger kids, Lucho and Luna. JB
