Club Bulakeño president Emmy Florentino Gonzalez celebrated her milestone 70th birthday at Dr. Wine, the hippest watering hole in Poblacion, Makati City.
Organized by her lovely daughter Andrea and joined by her sons Marco and Carlo with his lovely wife Rosette, the beautiful celebrator welcomed 40 of her closest friends to a sumptuous feast specifically prepared by the restaurant’s talented chefs. From the starters of the Seafood Tower, a selection of fresh oysters, clams, and mussels, and the famed Doctor’s Platter — a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, and sausages — to the main course of striploin steak, Osso Buco with sauteed mushrooms, potato gratin, and the all-time favorite lechon, it was truly a feast for all.
Fanny Blanco, Monaco Consul General Dr. Fortune Ledesma, and your columnist
In attendance were former Club Bulakeño presidents Milo Bondoc, Sonny Tanchanco, John Gaddi, and Virma Vergel De Dios, as well as friends from the business, social, and philanthropic communities of the woman of the hour. With music provided by Marcy David, everyone danced the night away until the wee hours of the next morning.
