Her scheming and cunning character Ellen Padua in the long-running primetime series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano may be despised because of how she fervently supports the wickedness of her husband Art Padua (Tirso Cruz III). However, in real-life, actress Ara Mina is deeply admired especially by her loved ones, such as her younger sister Cristine Reyes.
They might have a huge and controversial conflict in 2013, but they were able to patch things up a year after. And now, they’re almost inseparable as they often spend a lot of time together – from simply hanging out whenever they are not busy with their respective endeavors or daughters to celebrating each other’s birthdays and milestones together.
Besides, they also never forget to greet one another on their birthdays, either by posting something on their social media accounts or delivering their greetings on-air, just like how Ara did on Cristine’s birthday celebration in Magandang Buhay last February.

“You know naman Ate is always here for you and I love you so much. Wish ko lang e ‘yong real happiness ay makuha mo and ‘yong desire ng heart mo e maibigay sa’yo ni Lord. I love you so much! We love you. Our family loves you,” the 41-year-old expressed.
They may not have the same fathers, but it never hindered them from being the best sister not just for one another, but to their other sisters Heidi and Mina as well, as seen in their lovely photos in this gallery.
Catch Ara on FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, weeknights on Kapamilya Channel and Kapamilya Online Live.
