The Onanay actress was left astonished as she reached the summit of Mount Batur, an active volcano in Bali, Indonesia, just in time for the first sunrise of 2019.

She said in a video posted on Instagram, "Wow, I can't believe it. We made it up to the summit, 1, 717 meters all the way up. [It's] my first time to trek a volcano. [I] made it to sunrise just as planned. Happy new year! What a great way to receive 2019."
