MANILA -- Kapamilya star Daniel Padilla celebrated his 29th birthday surrounded by his family and friends -- both from within and outside the entertainment industry -- in Tanauan, Batangas on Sunday.

Among Padilla's guests are ABS-CBN executives Carlo Katigbak and Mark Lopez.

"I'm very happy, actually," said Padilla's mother, Karla Estrada, of her son's celebration. "Siya ang punong-abala. Siya talaga nag-decide na gawing [April] 28, but his birthday kasi [is on April] 26th."

"I'm very happy and always proud sa anak ko," she added.

Daniel's father, Rommel Padilla, also attended the birthday bash.

"I'm very thankful sa Poong Maykapal. Walang guhit ang pasasalamat sa pagiging mabuti niyang anak, mabuting kaibigan," he said. "Ang buhay ngayon, nararamdaman natin ang ups and downs, [but] at the end of the day, ang makakasama mo talaga is pamilya mo and tunay na kaibigan."

"Nagpapasalamat ako para sa mga taong tumindig [para] kay DJ, noong panahon na siya'y nasa baba. Doon naman sa hindi kami binigyan ng katahimikan, sana matapos na lahat 'yun," he added.
