A remarkable 80th for Enrique

It was an evening of elegance, warmth and heartfelt celebration as family and friends gathered at the Grand Ballroom of Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, to honor the 80th birthday of distinguished businessman Enrique Chua. Against a backdrop of superb Chinese cuisine and world-class entertainment, guests paid tribute to a gentleman admired for his achievements, integrity, humility and generosity.
The memorable affair featured stellar performances by renowned artists Martin Nievera, Robert Seña, Isay Alvarez, Marvin Agustin, Jolina Magdangal, Vice Ganda, Richard Yap and Sarah Lahbati, while Issa Litton kept the festivities flowing as emcee. In lieu of gifts, donations were welcomed for the Philippine Cancer Society, making the milestone celebration not only joyful but also meaningful — a fitting testament to a life well lived.
A regal celebration for Elsie
The ever-gracious Dr. Elsie Pascua, a highly respected OB-Gyne robotic surgeon at St. Luke’s Medical Center, celebrated another blessed year with a heartwarming gathering in one of the private rooms of the renowned Thai restaurant Benjarong at Dusit Thani Manila in Makati City.
The evening overflowed with laughter, delightful stories, and cherished moments shared over an abundant feast. Adding a thoughtful and personal touch to the affair, guests went home with bags of delicious homemade cookies lovingly prepared by the celebrant herself. As if that were not enough, many happily brought home portions of the sumptuous spread, finding the dishes simply too irresistible to leave behind.
