MANILA, Philippines - MTRCB Chief Grace Poe-Llamanzares hosted a dinner for five birthday celebrators Sunday night at her residence in Corinthian Hills in Quezon City. They are: June Torrejon, Girlie Rodis, Shirley Kuan, Lawrence Tan and Balikbayan Baby K. Jimenez.
As usual when the group gets together, what goes with the dessert is the latest showbiz goings-on, mostly behind-the-scenes and generally off-the-record. Group members know that and they talk freely, with not a word leaking.
