MANILA, Philippines - Kris Aquino and her sister Ballsy Aquino-Cruz with their respective sons Bimby and Jiggy arrived early Monday night at the dinner hosted by Regal Matriarch Mother Lily Monteverde at Gloria Maris in Greenhills, San Juan City, for her Wednesday Club (members are Mother Lily’s writer-friends and some actors, Ricky Davao among them). The Aquino sisters stayed for barely an hour, leaving before the other guests (including Raquel Villavicencio and Mel Chionglo) arrived. On hand to entertain guests was Mother Lily’s daughter Mimi. On Saturday, Aug. 17 (two days before her birthday, Aug. 19), Mother Lily hosted a dinner also at the same venue for another group of friends. — PHOTOS BY GIRLIE RODIS
