Three weeks ago, I did a post wishing my friend [Cristiano] a happy birthday. It got 1.4m views and 102k &#x27;likes&#x27; as befits the world&#x27;s most followed Instagram star. This week, I did a post wishing my housekeeper [Cory] a happy birthday and it&#x27;s had 13 million views and 184k &#x27;likes,&#x27;&quot; he revealed.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/life/04/07/20/watch-british-media-personality-piers-morgan-gives-shoutout-to-pinoy-healthcare-workers-in-uk"><strong><u>WATCH: British media personality Piers Morgan gives &#x27;shoutout&#x27; to Pinoy healthcare workers in UK</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>The television then host quipped: &quot;Which seems to suggest Cory is 9 times as big a star as Cristiano, and nearly twice as well liked.. She&#x27;s been all over Philippines media (see third pic), and I&#x27;ve even had Filipinos stopping me in the street in London to ask me to say happy birthday to her. Only a matter of time before we&#x27;re out together and someone asks me to do a selfie of them with Cory. Or worse, we&#x27;re with Cristiano and they ask him to do it… !🤣🤣&quot;</p>
