The dabarkads host dinner for their March-born members

MANILA, Philippines - Saturday last week, the dabarkads got together again, this time to regale their March-born members: Shirley Kuan, Girlie Rodis, Anes Plata and Veana Fores. The potluck salu-salo was held at Lawrence Tan’s cozy condo unit that provides a breathtaking panoramic view of Metro Manila.
