Happy birthday, Rene!
Lawyer Rene Puno celebrated his birthday with his closest friends at his residence in Alabang recently.

His wife Ann, who often bakes and cooks for her friends, put together a feast of dishes that she personally prepared for that night’s occasion. Ann’s dishes included cochinillo, callos and chicken relleno. For dessert, Ann prepared her cassava cake and chocolate mud cake.
Wines and spirits flowed throughout the night as the crowd celebrated Rene turning a year wiser!
It was truly an enjoyable evening to remember.
