MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Megastar Sharon Cuneta has officially joined the ranks of the country’s senior citizens, proudly showcasing her newly issued identification card on social media while celebrating the journey of getting older.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, the veteran singer-actress shared a photo of her senior citizen ID, which she received shortly after celebrating her 60th birthday on January 6.
“Aging is a Privilege” Cuneta expressed her excitement and gratitude in her caption: “Heto na siya!!! (Siyempre inalis ko ibang info, pero ito na Senior Card ko!!!) Hahahaha!!! Yahooo!!!! AGING, MY FRIENDS, IS A PRIVILEGE!!! Thank you, Lord!”
The post drew enthusiastic responses from both fans and fellow celebrities:
- “Leveling Up”: Her daughter, KC Concepcion, teased her mother about “leveling up” to senior status.
- Movie Dates: Seasoned actress Carmi Martin jokingly invited the Megastar to the movies, referencing the free cinema access typically granted to senior citizens in the Philippines on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Journey to Health Cuneta’s entry into her senior years follows a high-profile health transformation. In 2025, the “Mr. DJ” hitmaker surprised the public with significant weight loss, a goal she noted was nine years in the making. She described the journey as emotionally and physically taxing but emphasized her commitment to being “super healthy” as she enters this new stage of life.
Megastar Milestones The Megastar’s 60th birthday was previously celebrated with a grand bash on the musical variety show “ASAP” last January, where she first expressed her anticipation for the senior citizen discounts and benefits.
Cuneta’s positive embrace of aging has been lauded by her followers, serving as a reminder that the milestone is a “badge of honor” and a privilege to be celebrated.
