A wonderful celebration
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by moments that take our breath away.” — Maya Angelou
Another milestone was wonderfully commemorated when Muebles Italiano owner Noel Gonzales and his lovely wife Eileen hosted a party for Ilocos Norte Rep. Imelda Marcos’ 90th birthday at the Muebles Italiano Showroom in Makati City.
(Seated) Imelda Marcos and Rose Lazaro; (standing, from left) Bert and Nonie Basilio with Ingrid Santamaria and Panamanian Ambassador Rolando Guevara Alvarado.
Garbed in a beautiful red dress, the statuesque former first lady was serenaded by some of the country’s best performers and fêted by her friends from business and social circles. It was indeed a wonderful celebration.
Congratulations to Noel and Eileen for a successful party, and many happy returns, Mrs. Marcos!
