KC Concepcion marked her 40th birthday with a serene and heartfelt celebration on the island of Amanpulo, surrounded by close friends and nature’s beauty.

On her Instagram page, the actress shared glimpses of how she welcomed her natal day through a series of island activities with her friends.

"Birthday ‘salubong’ with the crew started with (barefoot) tennis 🎾 to get us ready for our grilled wagyu + sushi dinner, then a surprise birthday welcome, complete with karaoke (of course!) in our favorite villa, and a banana bread appearance as my impromptu birthday cake," she shared on her Instagram page.

KC relayed that the venue for her celebration was filled with balloons and fresh bougainvillea. She "To top it all off? A ‘biglaan’ golf cart race down the island’s private runway because what a start to this new era!!!😎✈️" she said.

KC expressed her gratitude for being able to welcome her 40th year in the company of her close-knit group of friends. "No big crowd, just our little island crew, ushering in the first hour of Chapter 40 with sooo much love and everyone so game for anything. Thank You, Lord! 💐✨🥰"

The following day, the actress and her friends spent time out at sea. "On the first day of Chapter 40, we just soaked in even more of the white sand + turquoise waters my beloved Palawan is known for! 🩵🩵🩵" she said.

The actress also ventured beyond Amanpulo and explored nearby Manamoc Island in Palawan. There, she continued her celebration by immersing herself in local culture and cuisine.

"Took a birthday boat adventure out of Amanpulo to nearby Manamoc Island, where the locals live 🌞 Bought fresh, wild-caught, giant maya-maya (red snapper) straight from the ‘barangay’ captain~ aka fisherman~ to cook for my birthday dinner, and even bought some cute woven basket bags from a sweet ‘nanay’ artisan 🌷."

She added: "So much beauty in the simple, the soulful, and the proudly Filipino!"
