“THANK YOU FOR MAKING US #1 TRENDING ON ITS FIRST DAY!! Pinakasimple pero pinakamasayang birthday ko.. 🥹
My Kanto Birthday Party is not just a concept, this was my life when I left home abroad where my life was comfortable.. pero hindi mo maaabot pangarap mo sa pagiging komportable lagi.

Kaya nung umalis ako saamin to work here sa Pinas, hindi ko inaasahan, kahit mahirap, isa siya sa adventure ko sa buhay na hindi ko makakalimutan.

So I relived the times when I was just starting out on my bday last month July 9, just like nung time na walang wala pa ako.. pero nandiyan yung mga taong mahal ako kahit butas butas ang shorts.. at murang sapatos at tsinelas lang kaya kong bilihin.

Ngayon.. mas dumami pa ang nagmamahal saakin kahit ganito mga trip ko.. kayo na mag caption each photo HAHAHAHAHA!!!
*May valid reason po yung mga di nakapunta, bawi sila next year 😉 heheee”

Here are some of the comments from netizens:

– “peopl r sucks talking about “kanto bday theme” ni donnalyn like guys, if you watched her vlog its nostalgic to reminisce to remember how kanto bday happened. There’s nothing wrong naman sa kanto bday nya ang fun nga eh if u watched her vlog.”

– “kahit gaano ka na ka taas ngayon, you still remain grounded. you’re such an inspiration to everyone. we love you and happy birthday once again Queen!”

– “it’s such a proud feeling to be idolizing this person right here. despite the success, recognition and fame that she has, she chose to have a simple celebration on her day. also, to reminisce her times when she was still starting in the industry.”

– “Naipaliwanag naman ni #Donnalyn ang concept ng birthday nya ng maayos. Naexperience nya ang birthdeyan sa kanto noong panahon na naglayas sya @ nag enjoy sya kasi masaya ang naging experience nya. Wala naman sinabi sa video na pang poor lang ang bday sa kanto or negative meaning.”

– “Uy, forda feeling perfect naman ang mga person. Lahat nalang ginagawang issue, sarap na sarap kayong ginagawang complicated ang mga bagay-bagay. Birthday ni Donnalyn yan, hindi natin birthday, wag tayong agaw trip! ”

Some who did approved of it posted the following:

– “Poverty porn. Hassle yung tutong na kanin din. Hassle lahat. Sino ba nag-iisip ng mga content mo gurl?! Feeling ko magsosorry ka ulit tapos magiging insensitive ka ulit. Cycle lang gurl.”

– “Di tutong ung cake mo at maging simple na di ka naka boxers. Pwede mo icelebrate sa kanto na maayos pa din. Wag mastadong madaming dama.”

– “Sa tingin mo ba na achieve mo mag mukhang kanto birthday theme eme eme yang birthday mo dahil naka boxers ka or may cake ka na tutong? Anu yan para sa vlog? Para ipakita na kaya mong maging simple? Ganun ba dzai? Para mas panuorin ka kasi down to earth ka?”

– “Maraming paraan ng pagcelebrate ng birthday ng simple pero hindi ung gawin tema ang pagiging mahirap. Laking kanto din ako pero hindi ganyan makikita mo sa kanto. Walang cake na gawa sa sinaing na tinaob. Nagaabagan kaming magkakaibigan makabili ng cale na pang regalo”

– “Mahirap lang kami pero never naman kami umihip ng kandila sa tutong. Boba lang? Afford mo naman bumili ng cupcake db. Hypocrisy. Buti di ako follower ng babaeng yan. Ipokrita ”
