Surrounded by her dearest friends in the industry and those from her personal life, Kathryn Bernardo celebrated her 28th birthday in a private beach getaway in Palawan. In the course of her life, the actress has invested in relationships, with true friendships reigning the list. From childhood bonds to industry colleagues, here are the friends who joined the actress as she turned a year older last March 26.

Alden Richards and Hello, Love, Goodbye Cast
While working together for the 2019 blockbuster Hello, Love, Goodbye, the Kapuso actor and Kathryn have maintained mutual respect and admiration for each other. In a previous interview recently, Alden even expressed that he’s willing to work again with the actress. Seeing them together this time as their own selves, along with Kakai Bautista, Maymay Entrata, and Lovely Abella, to celebrate Kathryn’s birthday is a testament of their good relationship, translating even on screen then. Who knows? Another collaboration between the two is now more possible than ever with the bridge of Kapuso and Kapamilya networks.
Jericho Rosales
From dream co-worker to now an actual friend, Jericho has been spotted with Kathryn these days on a number of occasions—from jogging sessions to tribute parties. This time, the actor also graced the actress’ Palawan party alongside Bernardo’s friends from the industry and even outside the world of show business. Till today, we definitely have our fingers crossed for their on-screen collaboration.
Dominic Roque
As one of Kathryn’s constants all these years, Dominic is one of her closest friends from show business. After their own rough patches with the matters of their hearts, their friendship has survived after all this time.

Robi Domingo
From his own proposal and then to his and wife Maiqui’s wedding, Kathryn was a part of Robi’s milestones as much as he had been part of hers, including her 28th birthday. In 2021, the 28-year-old kicked off her TGIS segment in her vlog with the host. “Robi is like a big brother to me,” she commented.
Joshua Garcia
A constant presence in the actress’ life, Joshua also celebrated Kathryn’s birthday last year in Palawan. This time around, he brought his girlfriend Emilienne along with him. With their solid friendship off-screen, we hope to see him and Bernardo in their next project soon.
OOOH! KALMA! BABY,KALMA! 🔥🔥🔥

Since their collaboration last 2023 for the Star Magical Prom, he is becoming Kathryn and her stylists’ go-to designer for her outfits, including her birthday outfit for this year. The designer even posted his endearing surprise for the actress, giving her the gift of time as she turned 28.

Petersen Vargas
The director of Kathryn’s movie comeback, A Very Good Girl, also attended her birthday celebration. Their friendship grew beyond their collaborative process in the set, establishing their relationship outside of work with Filipino Hollywood actress Dolly De Leon.
Alora Sasam
From joint birthday celebrations to ladies’ trips, Alora and Kathryn’s friendship has gone places from location to experience. Having their birthdays only days apart, Kathryn, Alora, and even Ria Atayde, celebrated their Aries season together last year.

Miles Ocampo
Known as one of the actress’ oldest childhood friends, the two grew together in front of the camera from their Goin’ Bulilit days. From outgrowing the friendship to slowly but surely reuniting as they are growing older, Miles and Kathryn are the prime example that friends can have time to grow individually and then together.

Arisse de Santos and Trina Guytingco
What’s a celebration of friendship without Kathryn’s best friends, Arisse and Trina? Known to be Kathryn’s ride or die sisters, they made time to be with the actress on her special day.
