“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm.” — Mark Overby
The wonderful Rose Lazaro was recently feted with a delightful lunch party in celebration of her birthday.
Held at the Okada Manila in Entertainment City, Parañaque City, hosted by her doting husband lawyer Manuel “Lolong” Lazaro, the party was attended by Rose’s loving family and lifelong friends.

Because she is a devoted mother, a loving wife, a compassionate friend, and a staunch philanthropist for the promotion of music and the arts in the Philippines, it was no surprise that the people whose lives Rose touched came in droves to support and encourage her as she opens another chapter in her life. It was an unforgettable celebration of a fruitful, passionate life.
Many happy returns, dear Rose!
