Read Ruby Rodriguez's touching birthday message to daughter, Toni Aquino

By Bong Godinez

Ruby Rodriguez wrote a touching letter to greet her only daughter happy birthday.

“To our one and only bratanela, our chipsy, today is your day!” she told Toni Aquino.

The Eat Bulaga dabarkad said that she's proud of what Toni has become and her many achievements.

“I have never been happier to be called your mom,” continued Ruby.

“To my feisty, miniature lady, I love you so much! Got your back babe. Happy, happy birthday. I love you forever,” added Ruby.


Toni, who is currently residing in California, USA, earned her bachelor's degree in Social Sciences at the University of the Philippines, Manila, in September last year.

Ruby is also currently in the States, a matter that she cleared up recently to put speculations to rest.

In a chat with 24 Oras reporter Lhar Santiago, Ruby revealed that her son AJ has a medical condition that needs attending to.

“Alam naman ng lahat na my son AJ, he's SPED [special education], but he has medical problems also - meron siyang rare autoimmune [disease],” the comedienne confided.

“'Yung sa rare autoimmune niya, kidneys niya kasi ang nadali. So, diyan sa Philippines na-biopsy na siya lahat, so he's being treated para hindi siya matransplant 'yun ang ina-avoid. So, dinala ko siya dito for medical purposes.”

Ruby is now working at the Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles, California.

“I applied, I went to the proper channels. Hindi po ako appointed, I went through the proper channels, I gave my CV, I gave all the requirements. All their test, lahat! Para matanggap ako dito.”
