Mommy D's D Day

Mommy Dionesia Pacquiao's 61st Birthday Celebration
May 15, 2010
KCC Mall Convention and Events Center
General Santos City, Philippines

The celebrant with her sweetest smile after the traditional waltz and giving of 18 (?) roses

The night won't be complete without Mommy D showcasing her talent ( I admire her stamina and endurance - she had several dance numbers and yet you won't see her gasping for her breath! 'atta mom!)

Mommy D with loving son - Congressman elect Emmanuel Pacquiao
and beautiful wife - Jinkee
(the champ gifted his mom with a set of diamond jewelries - the scene sent everybody in awe!)

the author had the chance of posing beside Mom D's towering cake
by Mix n Magic (magnificent!)
This cake was prepared and displayed with the personal touch of
beautiful sisters Mixie and Sunshine (It's a job well done, mesdames!)

My date, couz James Olaer, with equally handsome former Congressman Dennis Roldan

Sidelights:

- Mommy D's children were all present (Isidra, Liza, Bobby, Bgy. Capt. Ruel and the Pacman)
- Mommy D had several costume changes ranging from yellow green to red, etc. . .
- Mommy D's friends from all walks of life were present to celebrate with her
- Also spotted were PCM candidates who all came in full force
- Media swarmed the Congressman elect when he entered the convention center... while eating, they're all around him
- Younger Pacquaio family members were part of the program hosted by ABS CBN's Joey C
- There was enough food for everybody and the whole venue was bedecked with an assortment of flowers. . . I guess, almost a truckload of flowers. . .
- Our tablemates, Mr. Mandi Nicolas and Ms. Marcia Gonzales together with Mommy D showed their dancing prowess on the dancefloor!

all in all, it was a celebration fit for a champ's mom!
