Glenda Dela Cruz welcomed the coming year by sharing a deeply personal milestone after revealing that she has managed to keep her family home in Glendale, California, a property she described as one of her biggest achievements in 2025.
In a post uploaded on December 24, Dela Cruz reflected on her journey from hardship to stability, recalling her childhood experiences and contrasting them with her present reality as a business leader. She expressed gratitude for being able to retain the US home after years of uncertainty, framing the moment as both a personal victory and a testament to perseverance. The property, showcased through a series of photos, features a hillside location with expansive views and modern interiors, symbolizing a chapter she said she once could only dream of.
The entrepreneur also acknowledged the role of her loved ones in helping maintain the home over the past three years while she was unable to visit, publicly thanking Alexis Mendiola, Elijah Cruz, and Ker Maribujoc for their care and support. Her message resonated strongly with followers, many of whom view her story as an example of resilience beyond business success.
Dela Cruz, who leads the fast-growing beauty brand Brilliant Skin Essentials, has remained highly visible in recent months following her recovery from a serious health scare and continued recognition in the business sector. She is set to extend this momentum internationally when she travels to Dubai in January 2026, where she will be honored at the The Global Filipino Icon Awards 2026, joining celebrities, influencers, and Filipinos who are making their mark on the global stage.
