Jillian Ward gets a star-studded 18th birthday celebration
Jillian Ward has blossomed into a confident and stunning lady.
Jillian's star potential was first seen when she was just five years old. She had her first lead role in the defunct series "Sine Novela: Trudis Liit."
Since then, the young actress continuously honed her acting skills, which landed her one show after the other. In 2019, she established herself as a budding drama superstar by doing 'Prima Donnas,' together with Althea Ablan and Sofia Pablo, one of the highest rating afternoon dramas in GMA-7's history.
Now, she is part of another successful drama series on GMA Afternoon Prime, the 'Abot-Kamay na Pangarap,' where she portrays the character of Dra. Analyn Santos.
On Saturday, February 25, she took a time off from her showbiz schedule to celebrate her 18th birthday with her family, friends, and showbiz colleagues.
Check out the celebrities and showbiz personalities who attended the grand debut party of Jillian Ward held at the Cove, Okada Manila, in Parañaque City here.
