Former child actress Xyriel Manabat is officially an adult!
As she turned 18 years old on Thursday, Xyriel received a warm birthday greeting from former Agua Bendita co-star Vina Morales.
To recall, Xyriel portrayed the younger version of the eponymous twin sisters played by Andi Eigenmann in the 2010 ABS-CBN fantasy drama series.
Vina, meanwhile, played the mother role of Xyriel and Andi’s characters.
In an Instagram post, Vina took a trip down memory lane and shared a clip of one of her favorite scenes from the TV series, which was an emotional scene with Xyriel–to wish the young actress a happy birthday.
“I will never forget this series coz this was a few (3) months after i gave birth to @ceana_ml ❤️,” Vina wrote in the caption, referring to her only daughter Ceana.
“Now, I cant believe Xy is celebrating her 18th Bday ???❤️?,” Vina continued as she gushed at how time flew by fast.
“Di baaaaa @carlmerced karga karga lang natin yan at nauuto natin para mag take ng scenes ? ano anyare sa panahon , ang bilis ?
“To Xy welcome to adulthood ?❤️ i miss you baby ? whatever the future holds, enjoy the journey ❤️?? Happy 18th Bday and love you ❤️.
Xyriel, meanwhile, acknowledged Vina’s birthday greeting in the comments section.
“Thank you so much po tita v grabeeee po thank you so mucb po sa tribute at super throwback na kwento at videoio THANK YOU SO MUCH MAMA I LOVE YOU!!!,” she wrote.
Apart from Agua Bendita, Xyriel is also known for her roles in Momay and 100 Days to Heaven.
