I remember when it was my son's first birthday and all our neighbors gave out some foods, soft drinks and pledged some party goods. It has always been in our Filipino culture to help each other out especially during special occasions like birthdays, baptisms or wedding. So happy for you that you found your people. Cherish them and treasure them because those types of people are rare. Enjoy your legality! Happiest 18th birthday!!!♡♡♡♡
