A Regal bash for a Regal star

MANILA, Philippines - Regal Matriarch Mother Lily Monteverde threw a birthday party for Marian Rivera, star of Regal Films’ Tarot, which opens nationwide on Wednesday, Aug. 26.

The party was attended by Marian’s family and friends in the business plus her network bosses, sponsors and advertisers. “This proves Marian’s impact on a lot of people, and she has indeed a lot of blessings to be thankful for,” said Regal’s top honcho Roselle Monteverde-Teo.

It was an occasion to enjoy Marian’s company as she takes a break from her showbiz commitments and just have fun with those she loves most, in a manner befitting a top movie star like her.

“I’m truly blessed to be getting very good projects under my home studio, Regal Films,” said Marian. “They have been instrumental in my growth as an actress and I’m truly proud to be one of the remaining Regal babies.”

Dingdong Dantes, said to be Marian's beau, came late in the evening and surprised the celebrator with the song Narda, the theme of Marian's latest fantaserye Darna. Then, they left the venue together.

After Tarot, Marian will star in one of Regal’s Metro Manila Film Festival entries Nieves which is now a full-length feature — a spin off from its highly successful episode in Shake, Rattle & Roll X, directed by Mike Tuviera.
