In her post, Min reflected on Kathryn’s journey and aspirations from a young age. “Wala naman sa family natin ang artista. Pero bata ka palang alam mo na ang gusto mong gawin,” Min wrote. “And now here we are. Reflecting through your journey, I can say na sobrang proud kami sayo, anak!”

Min recounted the challenges Kathryn has faced and overcome, highlighting her resilience. “Remembering how you faced every struggle and challenge na napagdaanan mo/natin as family. Watching you overcome everything and grow into an amazing person you are has been one of our greatest blessings,” she added.

Min also praised Kathryn’s strength and determination. “I never knew how strong you are until I saw your determination and how you bounce back every after fall. You remained positive and kind to the world no matter what.”

 

Encouraging Kathryn to keep striving for her dreams, Min said, “If you have a dream, never let go of it, dont give up till the end. Make yourself your own competition. Always keep that spirit that brought you this far! Andito lang kami para sayo. You have earned every bit of this success!!”

Min concluded her message with a congratulatory note, “Congratulations our best actress! We love you, Anak!!!”
