Angelica Panganiban Thanks Everyone Who Prayed for Her and Her Baby!!

Angelica Panganiban Shares Experience as a First Time Mom

Angelica Panganiban couldn’t hold back her emotions as she went live on Instagram one quiet Sunday night. Her eyes were tired, but her heart was full of gratitude—a heartfelt message of thanks to everyone who stood by her, prayed for her, and supported her during one of the most challenging chapters of her life: becoming a mother.

“I honestly don’t know how I would’ve survived those days without you,” she began, trying to hold back tears. “There were nights I couldn’t sleep, nights I wanted to give up. But because of your prayers, your strength—you kept me going.”

A New Chapter Begins

Last year, Angelica’s pregnancy made headlines. Known as the “hugot queen” of Philippine showbiz, she took on a whole new role: a full-time mother. And it wasn’t easy. It came with the pressures of being a new wife, a new mom, and a woman still figuring herself out in a life that had changed overnight.

“I used to think love life was the hardest thing to handle. But having a child? It’s on a whole different level. The fear, the pressure, the joy—they all hit you at once,” Angelica shared.

Facing the Noise

While she received love and support from most of her fans, she wasn’t spared from criticism either. Some online bashers accused her of using motherhood to gain sympathy or publicity. But Angelica chose not to engage.

“I don’t have to explain everything,” she said. “What I feel is real, and I know who’s truly there for me. I’m not doing this for likes or attention—I’m doing this for my child.”

A Symbol of Strength

Her honesty and vulnerability made fans love her even more. She was no longer just a celebrity—she became a symbol of strength for many moms who also feel lost, tired, or overwhelmed. With every picture she posted with her child, and every caption that expressed her emotions, people felt her authenticity.

“I don’t have a PR team telling me what to post. This is me. This is my life. It’s not perfect, but it’s real—and I hope that, somehow, I’m able to inspire someone out there,” she said.

Behind the Scenes

Even with motherhood taking center stage, Angelica hasn’t left showbiz completely. She recently made a special appearance in a teleserye, and rumors are spreading about an upcoming movie project. But she says she’s taking her time.

“I felt like I was ready again—not for the spotlight, but to feel that part of me as an artist again,” she shared. “But of course, my priorities have changed. My child comes first, always.”

As she wrapped up her live video, Angelica returned to her core message: gratitude.

“Thank you to everyone who messaged, who prayed, who stayed silent but still thought of us. You have no idea how much that means to a mom like me who’s often just feeling around in the dark.”

And before signing off, she left viewers with words that struck deeply:
“You didn’t leave me. I’m not alone. And because of that… I’ll keep fighting.”
