Ariel Rivera is celebrating his 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-actor Ariel Rivera (Sana Kahit Minsan, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Rivera, a cultural icon

Born José Ariel Jiménez Rivera in Manila on September 1, 1966, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Filipino history. Rivera's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ariel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ariel Rivera as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 59.

Happy Birthday, Ariel, you're the best!
