On Twitter, she became more sentimental about how Kiko was able to balance being a father and holding a public office at the same time.

She wrote, “Happy birthday, father.

“Your problems are our country's problems. Thank you for still doing the groceries and showing up at every single damn PTA meeting. I don't know how you do it. I love you, forever.

“He's the most hands-on dad… You guys have no idea.

“Y'all better send him some damn love and appreciation today, ok? Man's out here fighting for you every day. His record is spotless. I mean, really.”

In the comments section, several of Frankie's fans sent their well-wishes and admiration for the senator.

He tied the knot with singer and actress Sharon Cuneta on April 28, 1996. They have two daughters, Frankie and Miel, and one adopted son, Miguel.
