- Glaiza De Castro thought she was meeting friends for a casual get-together, but Angelica Panganiban, Kean Cipriano, and their friends had prepared a surprise baby shower for the soon-to-be mom.
What Glaiza De Castro thought would be another late-night get-together with friends turned into a surprise baby shower organized by some of the people closest to her, including actress Angelica Panganiban and singer-actor Kean Cipriano.
On social media, Glaiza shared photos from the gathering, recalling how she had expected nothing more than a long night of catching up with her friends.
“Ang usapan namin nila @iamangelicap at @kean, tatambay lang kami sa @eotostudios. Huling pagkikita kita naming tatlo inabot na kami ng madaling araw kaya inisip ko isa na naman tong mahabang gabi,” the actress wrote.
She said she had no idea that her friends had been preparing something special for her.
“Wala akong kamalay malay sa mga planong binubuo ng mga kaibigan ko, pero ito ang isa sa pinaka masayang tambay na ginawa namin,” she added.
Beyond the surprise, Glaiza expressed gratitude for the people who have remained by her side through different stages of her life.
“Nasabi ko kay Lord na grabe siya sa mga taong binibigay niya sa akin. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagmamahal, at hindi lang ito dahil sa hormones. Nasubok na to ng matagal na taon. Na witness na namin ang mga iba’t ibang chapters ng buhay, at hanggang ngayon andito parin sila ????,” she wrote.
The actress also thanked her friends for organizing the celebration and sharing the special moment with her and her baby.
“Maraming maraming salamat Amigah sa pagiging pasimuno ng ganap na to, salamat Amigo sa lugar at lahat ng mga pumunta, masayang masaya rin si Baby Rainey dahil ramdam niya ang kaligayahan ng nanay niya. Mahal na mahal ko kayong lahat ❤️,” she said.
Among those who attended were Angelica, director Andoy Ranay, Sheena Halili and her husband Jeron Manzanero, Gabby Eigenmann and his wife Apple, Kokoy de Santos, Angel Guardian, celebrity couple Mikael Daez and Megan Young, Kean and his wife Chynna Ortaleza, and Maxene Magalona.
Angelica expressed her affection for Glaiza in the comments, writing, “Mahal ka ng HOOMANS ❤️.”
Glaiza announced her pregnancy in September, sharing photos of her baby bump as she prepared to welcome her first child with her husband, Irish businessman David Rainey.
