50 and oh-so in love!

MANILA, Philippines - When Zsa Zsa Padilla turned 50 (last May 28), her beloved (architect) Conrad Onglao hosted a ”divine” party (last Sunday, June 1) that must have doubly served as his welcome to Zsa Zsa to the beautiful house that he himself built 10 years ago in San Lorenzo Village, Makati City, made up of three storeys with mostly glass walls and Neo-Asian-inspired interiors.

Only in shorts, Zsa Zsa obviously felt at ease at the love nest. Guests, who started arriving at 6:30 p.m., could have sung and danced all night, including Zsa Zsa’s daughters Zia and Karylle (with husband Yael Yuzon), Dawn Zulueta, Iza Calzado, Albert Martinez, Christian Bautista, Erik Santos, Shaina Magdayao, Joji Dingcong, Audie Gemora, Carlo Orosa, Basil Valdez, Gary Valenciano and wife Angeli, Angeline Quinto, Sam Milby, Mylene Dizon, Rajo Laurel, Ogie Diaz, Sandra Chavez, lawyer-producer Joji Alonzo, Tirso Cruz III and wife Lyn Ynchausti (with son Bodie), and Homer Flores and Louie Ocampo who helped set the music provided by an ensemble of strings (plus a grand piano).    

Did Conrad fall on his knees and propose to Zsa Zsa? Hmmm, too old for that, aren’t they? Photos courtesy of CATHERINE RAMIREZ RODRIGUEZ
