Vlogger Dani Barretto called Marjorie a "hero" on her Instagram post.

Meanwhile, Claudia Barretto lauded her mom for showing strength at all times.

She said, " It's harder to break down and crumble because the collateral damage of doing so has more consequences on the people around you than it does you.

"So yes, saying you are strong would be ineffectual because you are much more than that."

She added that Marjorie is a selfless and caring human being, too.

"You are vulnerable but you also always choose to put the people you care about at the forefront of your life. Allowing people to use you as an example, to help them overcome their own battles.

"Thank you for being an example. Not just for me and the rest of the family, but for all the other people who have allowed themselves to model their strength after yours. Happiest birthday, mom."

On the other hand, Julia Barretto opted for a short but sweet greeting for her mom via Instagram Story.

Dani is Marjorie's daughter with ex-flame Kier Legaspi, while Julia and Claudia are her children with comedian Dennis Padilla.
