Apart from sharing the same passion for pageants, Miss Universe Philippines  Rachel Peters and Miss Grand International Philippines Elizabeth Clenci have another thing in common: their date of birth.

Rachel and Elizabeth both celebrated their birthday on the 20th of October.

On their respective Instagram accounts, they posted the same photo and exchanged sweet birthday messages for each other.

Elizabeth wrote, "Happy happy birthday to my dear friend and pageant sister. The last 6 months has been the most incredible journey. Both the ups and downs it's been a blessing to share it with you! Thank you for always taking care of me. Can't wait to see how the journey unfolds. Love you lots."

In her message, Rachel called Elizabeth her "partner in pageant."

"I don't know what I would've done without you these last few months. So thankful to have met you and gone through this together. Always so proud of you, can't wait to see you with that crown on your head. Sending lots of love and good vibes from Manila," she wrote.

Peters celebrated her birthday with the kids from Smokey Mountain last Sunday.
