Kris Aquino sent four different flower arrangements to her eldest sister, Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, who is celebrating her 66th birthday today (August 18).

The Queen of all Media shared a series of photos that showed her with Ballsy and the four beautiful floral arrangements in vivid colors.

Along with these images, the former actress-tv host penned a meaningful message about the special gift for her sibling.

She wrote, “My Ate asked me if she was dying that's why the HAPPY 66TH BIRTHDAY flowers I sent were so over the top?

“Bago kayo totally ma weird sa'min, people who know my ate & me intimately are used to the fact na we can discuss our deaths matter of factly- siguro coping mechanism na lang namin.

“(Tomorrow August 18 is her actual birthday.) And she asked why 4 arrangements? Was it because there were now 4 of us?

“I sent her another gift that shall remain private between us, I am posting the flowers because I had ordered them from my supplier and they arrived Saturday.

"Sheryl, owner of @59.flowercafe kept them refrigerated and fresh para mahatid this afternoon before curfew.

“I am so grateful because I gave such specific instructions about the emotions I wanted the flowers to express and Zach and the team achieved them so creatively.”

Kris also shared that the unexpected death of her brother, former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, made her value her family more.

She continued, “The sudden death of our brother profoundly changed me - it made me VALUE my FAMILY even more.

“I love all my sisters, BUT my ate and I have a hard to explain bond, siguro because for me SHE keeps my mom's memory alive- sya yung parati kong kakampi, everyday no fail she checks on me, instinctively knows when something is not quite right, and I feel I can (and I do) tell her EVERYTHING because SURE ako she'll try her best to still understand and continue to LOVE me regardless of my imperfections.

“So to the world's BEST ATE- i love you with all my heart and on a day I really didn't want you to feel sad (even though I know we all still are) I'm glad I made you feel just how much you are #LOVED.”

In the comments section, Filipino fashion designer Francis Libiran and Kris's impersonator Krissy Achino sent their birthday greetings for the former TV host's sister.

Recently, Kris confirmed her “mystery man,” who turned out to be former DILG Secretary Mel Sarmiento, after posting a special birthday message for him on Instagram.
