On April 21, Kapamilya artist Ria Atayde said she considered her 30th birthday a milestone.
In an interview with Ria, she highlighted her 30th birthday shoot, which she uploaded through her Instagram account.
“Well, for starters, when else am I going to do it if not now, di ba? Parang 30 is a milestone birthday. I’m surprised after all that I’ve been through as a person–I’m alive at 30. Really after everything I’ve done.”
She then explained that the theme of her birthday photoshoot aimed to show people a braver Ria.
“Parang feel ko kasi people are so used to see me so wholesome–so covered up, and parang for a change, there’s that side of me that needs to be shown. Even if it’s not an always thing, I feel like I’ll show you this, I’m capable of this, we’re good. Okay this is 30–I’m braver to face challenges like that.”
In March 2022, Ria uploaded her daring photos for her 30th birthday. She posted pictures by Dookie Ducay and Charisma Lico.

Ria clarified that she uploaded her daring 30th birthday photos for herself.
“Actually, I shared it for myself, kasi eh. Not so much–parang social media has been parang itaga mo sa bato type of thing, pag ipost mo, that’s final, that’s it. And I think that’s what it was for me–like this is me marking that I’m 30.
“And I think that’s what it was for me, like this is me marking that I’m 30. And I don’t know. It felt like a nice thing to share with everybody because I wouldn’t be really happy at 30 if not for the people that support me and for the people that around me.”
