Mariquita Salimbangon Yeung had a simple but meaningful celebration of her birthday with husband Carlos and son Martin beside her. Just close friends and relatives were invited. A dear friend Laarnie Enriquez flew in with daughter London-schooled Jerika, Bosom friend Governor Gwen Garcia gave her all when she belted two songs for Kit…and we never knew she could sing! Cesar Montano and wife Sunshine Cruz arrived from Manila too and the couple dished out English and Tagalog songs. They were joined by Carlos and Kit on stage. Also there were good friends Michel and Amparito Lhuillier. Actually, the birthday bash turned out to be just dinner and sing-along and it was fun-filled with laughter and songs!
