A merry evening for Mely

To my dear readers, may the year of the Water Snake bring you prosperity and good health, and may your homes be filled with happiness and love.

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Known for her jovial disposition and for being a great host of splendid gatherings. The much-loved lady of class and elegance Mely Hechanova recently celebrated her birthday filled with all grand things imaginable.

Clad in an ethereal white dress, Mely welcomed friends from the government, diplomatic, business and social circles to her special day held at the Makati Shangri-La’s Rizal Ballroom. It was an evening that marked another great year for Mely as a loving wife to her husband, Paing, doting mother to her children Renna, Raffy, Raissa and Riana and a great friend to a lot of people around her.

Gary Valenciano and musical group The Angelos serenaded the celebrator with her favorite songs. A special number from the Friends for the Cultural Concerns of the Philippines and Catholic Women’s Club also proved to be an entertaining spectacle for everyone present. The celebration wouldn’t be complete without Mely’s children singing a very heart-warming song to their mom.

Truly, it was a night to remember!
