Celebrities and best friends Kim Chiu, Angelica Panganiban, and Bela Padilla share with their following how they took the next step in their friendship by getting matching tattoos.

In an Instagram photo posted last Sunday, February 10, Bela shares the moment when she and her best friends each got a minimalist dot on their wrists, captioned, “We got inked!” Kim, on the other hand, shared a series of images saying, “Miss these two! We may not see each other most of the time, but we always have each others back! Love you both! Stronger than ever!”

In an interview with ABS-CBN News last October, former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) housemate Kim reveals how her friendship with the Meet Me In St. Gallen star and That Thing Called Tadhana actress began, saying in Filipino, “Bela and I were gatecrashers. We were coming from a birthday party and we didn’t want to go home. We went to the birthday of Director Andoy Ranay and Angelica was there. It was a lot of fun. We just had fun together until we always went out as a group,” adding, “We realized how it didn’t take a lot to satisfy us. The simplest jokes, we find so funny. If we just run around UP (University of the Philippines), we already enjoy.”

When elaborating on the girls, Kim reveals, “Angelica is actually a deep person. She has a lot of words of wisdom. As for Bela, she is a poet. She’s a hopeless romantic so they clash. As for me, I just laugh at them. I can take them on. It’s fun. Simple joking around.”

On the other hand, during her guesting on “Tonight With Boy Abunda” during the same time, Angelica compares her friendship with Bela and Kim to a corny joke, telling host Boy Abunda in Filipino, “It’s like the simplicity, the little laughs, they become deep. The jokes that have no thought, they have no thought but you still find it so funny,” elaborating, “That is what our friendship is like. When you see it, you think ‘What are these girls doing?’ but we’re all deep, our love for each other is deep. We don’t understand why, but we really appreciate it.”
