Anthony Pangilinan shared a belated birthday surprise party from family and friends in a recent social media post.He noted that the surprise was delayed over a month because he was hospitalized on his actual birthday last month.“Surprise! An “over a month long” belated birthday surprise from family and friends (as I was hospitalized on my bday last month)… It felt like a dream as I’ve never seen so many people dear to me from every area of my life in one place, in one night!” Anthony wrote in his Instagram caption.<div> </div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-11" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFdvuxeTIk6/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A11%2C%22os%22%3A2171995.2999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A602684.7000000477%2C%22le%22%3A609251.100000143%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-11" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>The Pangilinan patriarch apologized to those who weren’t able to attend, noting that he truly had no idea about the surprise party.“Some of you shouldve been there but I didn’t do the inviting, sorry! Haha, c’mon, I knew nothing about it! (And my fam did all they could to access my phone database without me finding out!) But you guys know who you are, and I understand some also couldn&#x27;t make it.”Anthony also expressed his gratitude to his children, the Pangilinan siblings — Ella, Hannah, Benj, Solana, and his son, Kapamilya leading man Donny Pangilinan — whom he revealed were the main organizers and sponsors of the evening.He also thanked his wife, actress Maricel Laxa, for her unwavering support in making the surprise party a reality.“I want to thank my kids @ellapangilinanx @donny @hannahpangilinan @benjaminpangilinan and Solana who not only helped organize but also sponsored that evening! And of course to @mommymaricel who took orders from the older kids and supported them all the way!” Anthony mentioned.His only regret was not being able to prepare his own song repertoire. Anthony expressed his gratitude to OPM icon Gary Valenciano for stepping in.He shared, “I just feel bad I wasnt able to prepare my song repertoire for the evening and am thankful  @garyvalenciano volunteered to fill in the gap.”At the end of his caption, Anthony also revealed his age.“Got my senior citizen card today. I feel “privileged” indeed!”Anthony Pangilinan had a successful open-heart surgery in October last year.— By Jemuel Tandoc
