Instead of celebrating grand during these trying times, Jasmine Curtis-Smith opted to spend her 26th birthday yesterday, April 6, by giving back to the healthcare workers who are at the front lines battling COVID-19.

According to GMA News, the Philippines had 3,660 confirmed cases with recovery count at 73 as of Monday, April 6.

Through the donations of SME brand Mang Domeng's Bibingka, the Kapuso actress was able to add a little sweetness to the meals which she handed out to the frontliners in Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital, Philippine General Hospital, San Lazaro Hospital, and Lung Center of the Philippines.

"Thought that it might be quite an uneasy time to be joyous for celebrations of birthdays and any anniversaries... instead of entertaining the blues and guilt I decide to add a little sweetness to our frontliners meals today care of the very generous and helpful people behind @mdbibingka," Jasmine said in her Instagram post today, April 7.

"Maraming salamat po DJNRM, PGH, San Lazaro & Lung Center of the PH Hospitals for being of amazing service and making sacrifices during these challenging times.

"I celebrated yesterday with your victories these past few weeks of patient recoveries, may we celebrate more recovered cases soon."

In the same post, Jasmine thanked her family, friends, and fans who greeted her on her birthday.

Even though she's away from her sister, Anne Curtis, mom, and brother who are currently in Australia, Jasmine still managed to make her birthday extra special and fun by baking her own cake with boyfriend, Jeff Ortega.

"26 and a bibingka cake (plus 2 cakes in Oz and 1 more homemade)," Jasmine said.

"Thank you to everyone for your sweet greetings and love on my special day.

"From family, friends, fans... and to all the ones that dropped by our IG live last night and sent over a message, maraming salamaaaaaat!"
