The actress, who was preoccupied with promoting her record-breaking film Hello, Love, Again alongside Alden Richards, delighted her 20 million Instagram followers with a surprise update.

On Sunday, Bernardo greeted her fans with a cheerful “hello again,” marking her return with captivating snapshots from the recent ABS-CBN Christmas Special held at the iconic Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

“Hello again, IG! 🫢 Breaking my social media hiatus with some snaps from the ABS-CBN Christmas Special. 🐱,”

Bernardo wrote in the caption, alongside a collection of photos showcasing her radiant appearance at the star-studded event.

Adding to the excitement, Bernardo also uploaded a reel capturing behind-the-scenes moments of her preparations and onstage performance during the ABS-CBN Christmas Special 2024.

This social media update comes on the heels of the phenomenal success of Hello, Love, Again, which recently concluded its global theatrical run. On December 13, Bernardo and Richards officially said goodbye to their beloved characters, Joy and Ethan, roles they first brought to life in the 2019 hit film Hello, Love, Goodbye.
