“You are one of the strongest, bravest women I know,” she said. “You’ve always been someone who goes after what she wants—fearlessly, passionately, and without hesitation.”

“Thank you for being there through every high and low,” she expressed. “Thank you for the laughs, the endless chikahan, the quiet moments of comfort, and the loud moments of celebration. I’m beyond lucky to have you as my momsy.”
Known for their strong trio friendship, Kim also mentioned actress Angelica Panganiban in the post.
“You and momsy @iamangelicap are two of the greatest gifts life has given me,” she stressed.
Kim ended her birthday tribute for Bela with a sweet message: “Enjoy your special day, Momsy! Celebrate yourself today and always—you deserve all the love and joy in the world.”
The actress also admitted in the same post that she misses their random moments together: “Nakaka-miss in fair ‘yung mga random trips natin, bigla nalang tatalon sa ilog or iiyak sa loob ng car pero magpapaalam muna!!!”
