Thirty-four-year-old Kapamilya actress remembers her ex-boyfriend Miko Sotto, who passed away more than 10 years ago, by paying tribute to him on what would have been his 37th birthday last Friday, May 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a photograph shared with her 10.9 million followers on Twitter, Angel offers flowers and a candle to the late Miko, captioned in a mix of English and Filipino, \u201cHappy birthday, Mikolet. Stay steady over there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Angel has been consistently visiting Miko\u2019s grave on both his death anniversaries and birthdays. On his 10th year death anniversary last 2013, Angel shared that it was \u201cthe saddest day of [her] life,\u201d adding to her fans, \u201cI will never forget it. Please include him in your prayers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Miko passed away in December 2003 at the age of 21 after accidentally falling from the balcony of his Mandaluyong condo. He had been dating Angel for about six months at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

When talking to Philstar a year later, Angel elaborates on her relationship with the matinee idol, saying, \u201cMiko and I never had any Valentine date because we went steady for only six months. We didn\u2019t reach Valentine\u2019s day,\u201d continuing, \u201c<\/span>I have to move on. I have to. I had to let go no matter how hard and painful it was. They told me that if you grieve and grieve for a dear departed, if you don\u2019t let go, it\u2019s sad<\/span> wherever he may be; it can burden his journey to eternal life. I have to go on living so Miko will go on living with The Lord, so he\u2019ll be happy.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

She concludes, \u201cIt made me realize how short life is, that we\u2019re all living a borrowed life. That\u2019s why we should do what God wants us to do; we should not mess up our lives by making enemies or harboring ill feelings. Also, if you love someone, show him while he\u2019s still alive because you might wake up one morning and realize that it\u2019s too late. Enjoy life. You\u2019ll never know when God will call you.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, the former \u201cDarna\u201d star has been in a relationship with producer Neil Arce since February 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
