On Instagram, the newly-signed Kapuso artist shared snippets from her intimate birthday celebration on Tuesday night.

"It was a super happy and fun but intimate birthday celebration," Bianca wrote. "Thank you to my family and my closest friends for celebrating with me."

She also thanked her sisters, "who are game and are always supportive" of her.
