Sharon Cuneta was grateful over being able to celebrate her 57th birthday with her family, as well as former senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III, veteran actress Helen Gamboa and their children after appearing to have completely repaired the conflict caused by the 2022 elections between their families.
To recall, Tito Sotto and Cuneta’s husband, former senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, both ran for vice president in the 2022 elections; the former previously admitted that it was a “big deal” for the extended families. Former Davao City mayor Sara Duterte emerged as the vice-presidential winner, while Pangilinan received the second-highest number of votes and Sotto placed third.
It can also be noted that Sharon is the daughter of the late Pasay City mayor Pablo Cuneta Sr. and Elaine Gamboa, who happens to be the sister of Helen.
The Megastar shared glimpses of the intimate “Birthday Eve” dinner with the Sotto couple, as well as their children Ciara, Diorella, Gian and Romina on her Instagram account on Jan. 5, a day before her actual birthday.
Cuneta also uploaded a snippet of the Sotto family singing her a “happy birthday,” during which Ciara and Romina gave her a birthday cake.
“Birthday cake!!! Awww they prepared one pa for me! [emojis] (Nene @pinaypole malabo yung video but thanks for passing it on to me after I’d left na! I love you! Sorry po malabo pero puno naman ng love),” she said in the caption of a separate post.
(Birthday cake! Awww, they prepared one for me! Kid, the video is blurry, but thanks for passing it on to me after I had left! I love you! Sorry for the blurry video, but it’s full of love.)
Cuneta, who turned 57 today, Jan. 6, expressed her gratitude to Kiko, her daughters Kakie, Miguel and Miel, and caregivers for celebrating her special day. It can also be recalled that the Megastar and former senator had been repairing their relationship after a six-month rift.
“I am always touched when they give me anything… My family means everything to me,” she wrote. “Thank You, Lord Jesus, for all these blessings! I also pray for the happiness and all the love in the world for my eldest @kristinaconcepcion. I have everything I need.”
The actress-singer also revealed her family’s birthday gifts in a separate post, which include a handwritten letter from Pangilinan, a bouquet of flowers, balloons and a dog-shaped cake.
Cuneta made headlines last month after revealing that the construction of her new house in Cavite is currently on pause. She also spoke up about being exhausted at the age of 56, implying that she contemplates on retiring from show biz in the near future. /ra
