For the love of Cris Belen

MANILA, Philippines - Regal Matriarch Mother Lily Monteverde (not in photo because she had to leave in a rush for a meeting) hosted a birthday dinner for Bulletin Entertainment Editor Cris M. Belen last Wednesday night at a function room of the Imperial Palace Suites (at the Timog-Morato Rotunda, Quezon City) which the Monteverdes own. ‘I love Cris dearly,’ said Mother Lily. ‘She has always been nice to me and my company.’ The birthday girl (back row, third from right) is surrounded by friends and well-wishers that include GMA artist Sarah Lahbati and Enzo Pineda.
