Celebrity friends and fellow athletes took to social media to celebrate volleyball star and former Pinoy Big Brother housemate Alyssa Valdez on her 32nd birthday.
On their respective social media pages, Alyssa’s close friends—fellow athletes Michele Gumabao, Ella de Jesus, and Lorie Lyn Bernardo, along with former PBB housemates Samantha Bernardo and Brenda Mage—penned heartfelt messages for the country’s beloved “Volleyball Phenom.”
On Instagram, Michele shared a sweet photo with Alyssa, writing: “Happy birthday to the mommy of walnut and pistachio 🤭 Wish ko sa'yo friend….. alam mo na yun! You deserve all the blessings and love today and everyday! Bawi ako 🙊 ✌🏻.”
Ella also expressed her gratitude for Alyssa’s presence in her life.
“Hindi pala totoo na simula nung dumating ka sa pamilyang 'to, wala ka ng dinala kung hindi puro kamalasan. Kasi ang totoo, kami ang swerte sa'yo. Happy birthday, Agua!! Kung ganitong pagkakaibigan naman ang kapalit, paulit ulit akong sisingit sa pila nung ACET. Hanggang dulo na 'to, wala kang choice. 😂😘,” she wrote.
Lorie, a fellow Creamline Cool Smashers athlete, greeted Alyssa with: “Happy birthday, ate Alyssa Valdez! More travels with you please? Hehehe (nakapag wish na po ako and alam kong alam mo na yun!!) Love you ate! ❤️.”
Fans also joined in the celebration by re-sharing a fun birthday greeting video featuring Alyssa’s teammates and friends.
One video, in particular, showed the Creamline Cool Smashers expressing their wish for Alyssa to find a romantic partner.
Former beauty queen and fellow PBB housemate Samantha Bernardo posted a goofy clip of herself and Alyssa, where the latter passed her “bowl crown” to Samantha.
“Pinakamasayang runner up moment ko is with you. 👸 I will forever treasure our moments inside @pbbabscbntv together with all the housemates and here in the outside world! 🌎,” she said. “You deserve all the love in the world. Happy birthday; Sizzy @alyssa_valdez2 ✨ Wishing you continued good health, overflowing joy, and meaningful, long-lasting relationships.”
She added, “May this year also be the one where you finally meet the love of your life haha! We love you so much. Thank you for being the Phenom friend anyone could ever ask for!”
