Actress and host Carmina Villarroel is celebrating her 49th birthday on August 17, 2024.

Her son Mavy Legaspi took to Instagram to give her a lengthy heartfelt birthday greeting.

Mavy shared a recent black and white portrait of Carmina along with two photos from her youth.

"To the strong, beautiful, inspiring, loving mom that has impacted my life beyond measure… (incoming emotional rollercoaster)

"Thank you for your unconditional love, endless patience, and incredible guidance. we are all so lucky," he wrote.

Mavy also gushed about Carmina's kindness.

"Always remember, you are loved by so many. honestly, you're actually one of the nicest people in the industry- i dare anyone to ask anyone anything about you and nothing negative will be said. that's why worry less mom, they got nothing on you. it's so hard to be nice in this world but you are almost perfect when it comes to it. people had to make up a story out of your igs which was dedicated to your very own mother cause i know that specific day was special and you were just missing her a lot… that's the truth. but being the strong woman that you are- you continue live to on, ignore all the negativity and continue to be the kind person that you truly are in this not so kind world. i am passionate about it when i say that you are kind. mabuti kang tao, ma.

"You help others day in and day out, and you make sure that the people around you are okay each and every day- whether it's your co-workers, your friends, your family, the household, and those in need. that's who carmina is. zero attitude, just full of patience, happiness and laughter. always thinking about others other than herself. the most unselfish person that i know," he said.

He also thanked her for the guidance and the freedom she granted him.

"I love you with all my heart and will always protect you no matter what. thank you for letting me spread my wings and fly. for guiding me and letting me make my own decisions and deal with the outcomes. in short, for letting me be my own man," his caption read.

He ended his long post with a simple greeting for his mother.

"Happy birthday, momma. you deserve to be happy. cheers," Mavy said.
