During her birthday celebration on “ASAP,” Cuneta turned emotional, noting how one of her children is missing.

“Pasensya na po medyo emotional ako kasi nagulat ako sa mga surprise. Kasi alam ko apat ang anak ko eh,” she said.

“Thank you Frankie, Miel and Miguel for giving importance to mama and loving me and being respectful and kind and grateful children,” she added.

Before thanking Pangilinan for staying “faithful and true,” Cuneta also mentioned that she’s always praying for her children to remain grounded.

“Ipinagdarasal ko rin lahat ng aking mga anak na sana lumaki kayo na nakatapak ang mga paa sa lupa. Huwag nakalilimot sa pagmamahal ng magulang at sa lahat ng nagawa ng mga magulang niyo sa inyo,” she said.

Cuneta, who has been in show business for more than four decades, is celebrating her actual birthday on Monday.
