“Ok, isa ito sa Birthday ko na di ko makakalimutan,lahat ng birthdays we celebrate ng bongga, i miss you 🙏🏻💕,” Rufa Mae said, referring to Trevor.
The actress also reflected on the emotional weight of the day as it also marked her mother’s, Fe Ann "Carol" Ocampo, death anniversary.
“Memorial day pa naman, death anniversary ng Mom ko si Fe , kaya di ko alam ano na nararamdaman ko sa birthday kong ito. Thanks for all the Love, patience and kindness, sweetie! Mahal kita ! Salamat, thank you sa lahat,” she added.

Ok ang lahat , pinaka masaya na taon magkasama … Now , me and Athena will go back to our home in San Francisco without you( physically) … after everything! You will be in my heart forevermore!
