Betong Sumaya writes a sweet birthday message for Maey Bautista

Kapuso comedienne and actress Maey Bautista celebrates her birthday today, May 5.

To commemorate her birthday, Maey's "partner-in-crime," Betong Sumaya, wrote her a sweet and lengthy greeting on Instagram.

"Hinding-hindi ko puwede palampasin ang araw na ito na hindi batiin ang isang napakaespesyal na "creature" este tao na naging malaking parte ng aking buhay. Wala ako ngayon sa kinalalagyan ko kung wala siya, gaya nga ng madalas niyang sinasabi "I miss half of your body," pero ako, miss ko na not just half, but her whole humongous body," Betong joked.

Betong and Maey competed as a team in Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Doubles Showdown back in 2011. For his "gift" to Maey, he unearthed her photos taken from their time as island castaways and compiled all of it into one video.

"Sana magustuhan mo itong gift ko syo kahit hindi "cash" at lagi mo sanang tandaan na dahil dito mas lalong tumatag ang special bond nating dalawa. Sana manumbalik kahit sandali ang hirap, lamig, gutom, pawis, kaba, takot at most importantly ang saya sa mapapanood mo."

Despite his jokes, Betong ended his birthday greeting on a sweeter note reminding Maey that they will always have each other's backs.

"Kahit madalas pa rin tayong magkapikunan at magkaasaran, at the end of the day alam kong we truly care for each other (oh English yan ha). Lab yu Maey. Amazing "30th" Birthday Maey, may GOD bless you always."

Maey is part of the cast of the top-rated Kapuso drama series Love Of My Life along with Carla Abellana, Mikael Daez, Rhian Ramos, and Coney Reyes.
