On her birthday today, July 20, actress and singer Agot Isidro got a most precious greeting from Senator Leila de Lima.

Isidro posted the hand-written birthday greeting of de Lima on her Twitter account today.

“Dear Agot,

“To a courageous woman, a co-warrior, a brave and beautiful soul, happy birthday!

“My deepest admiration and gratitude for your zeal and passion in calling out the excesses of this regime.

“As they say, ‘courage is contagious.’ May you continue to inspire others to stand up and fight our shared causes.

“Have a beautiful day! Keep safe!”

Ever grateful, Isidro reciprocated the good message of the incarcerated senator through a tweet.

“Maraming Maraming Salamat (Many many thanks) @SenLeiladeLima. Continuous prayers that justice be served and awaiting for that time to fight alongside you.

“Your tenacity is an inspiration and may your fire never dim. Maraming Salamat (Thank you very much).”

On the same day, Isidro also posted a selfie photo with this caption: “Still standing. Still fighting. Still smiling. Laban lang (Keep fighting)! 54.”

Among those who replied were Isidro’s friends and supporters. Theater actor Bart Guingona described the singer as “Gorgeous inside and out! With added steel inside.”

“Happy Birthday @agot_isidro! Have a great Birthday! You are entitled to a break once in [a while]. Thank you for your courage and for your perseverance in fighting for the right causes,” former congressman and human rights lawyer Erin Tañada said.

One Lilibeth Bamba (@preciousaambhi) commented, “Happy Birthday! I will always be grateful for your courage to speak up. And in such a polarized time, you continue to fight against injustice. When we look back at this very dark time in our history, we will remember your wit and sass.”

Twitter user @amethystroyale wrote, “Ageless fighting beauty! Continue to be an epitome of what a beautiful, vigilant and courageous 54 lady should be.” NVG
