By Cara Emmeline Garcia

Jose Mari Chan may be the father of Christmas here in the Philippines but it seems like Ariel Rivera is going after his throne.

Ariel, who's celebrating his birthday today, September 1, was greeted by his sister-in-law Janice de Belen in the most unique of ways.

On Instagram, a photo of Ariel is seen together with the text, “Hindi man ako kasing sikat ni Jose Mari Chan pero sana ngayong pasko ay maalala niyo pa rin ako.”

The caption is in reference to Rivera's 1993 hit, “Sana Ngayong Pasko.”

On the other hand, Ariel's wife Gelli de Belen posted a short but sweet message for her husband.

“My HEART... my HOME, Happy Birthday @rivera.arieljose.

“I love you. No words will ever be enough to say how grateful I am to have you in my life.”

Jose Ariel Jimenez Rivera was born on September 1, 1966.
