Kapuso actress LJ Reyes's firstborn son Ethan Akio Reyes or Aki had only one wish on his birthday last July 24. It is for his younger sister Summer Ayana Contis “to grow up to be a good girl.”

Unlike any other kid his age, Aki did not ask for anything grand nor material things for his special day. As a good Kuya to Summer, the 10-year-old already looks out for his beloved sibling.

Apparently, LJ and Paolo prepared a mini surprise party for Aki on his birthday and it was definitely a success as Aki was indeed surprised by his birthday decors and cake.

Meanwhile, LJ unearthed old videos of Aki while editing a tribute video for her son and she couldn't help but feel emotional during the process.

“May na-surprise! At may naiyak! Naiyak ako panoorin 'to because of the few photos and videos we added. Some of my favorites! Still can't believe he's 10,” she added.
