Happy Birthday, Mom D!

Yes, Mommy D did it again!

She celebrated her 62nd D day literally with a big bang...with former Philippine President Joseph Ejercito Estrada as her guest of honor. Pacman himself and his beautiful wife, Jinkee, were there to personally hand in their Hermes Birkin gift to beloved Mommy D. For sure, the radiant summer star was on cloud nine during that moment!

The lucky mom proved once and for all that she's not the Pacmom for nothing. She brought the house down with her singing and dancing prowess. Other entertainers for the big night were novelty singer Max Surban, sultry singer Madonna Decena and our very own local talent, Mr. Jun Jimenez. Excellent hosting of Gensan Pride, Ms. Joanna Banting-Lapore did additional wonders to our celebrator's special night.

Although lesser showbiz personalities were present, Mommy D's 62nd bday celebration still remains one of the hottest topics worth discussing by people from all walks of life. Aside from the million peso worth bag and the magnificent costume changes, the Pacman Gym which served as venue now seemed one of those to places to watch out for here in Gensan. It's cool out there! I bet, this will surely be another tourist attraction for the tuna capital of the country.

The food was great. . .
The numbers presented, awesome. . .
albeit there were some unruly guests crowding the stage front
to get a good view of the performers...
still, the party's great!

Kudos to the organizers of this event! keep it up, guys!
