A heartwarming birthday celebration for Mama Remy Agbayani
MAMA Remy Agbayani, mother to four beautiful and loving children, was feted to a lavish birthday dinner for 50 closest friends and relatives at her favorite China Blue restaurant in Conrad Hotel.
Amid health challenges and recent hospital confinement, the celebrant — who came home in 2018 from the US to stay in the Philippines for good — made a miraculous turnaround a few days before the date, making the celebration possible. It’s the first time in five years that she saw all her children together and complete, proving that the power of family love is indeed the best healer.
It’s very heartwarming to witness the celebrant’s offspring: Atty. Manette Agbayani, the USbased children, Daisy Baude, Camille and Halden with wife Myra, fuzzing lovingly over their mom. The three siblings flew back home for this momentous occasion. After all, she deserves all the accolades for raising intellectual children, who breezed through schools as academic scholars and are doing very well in life.
With them celebrating were friends closest to the family Atty. Glenn and wife Luchie Subia, yours truly and husband Dr. George Sarakinis, Marivic Rufino, Tina Alcala, Joy Fong, Ricky Davao, Cory Quirino, Isabel Rivas, Elvie Valmeo, restaurateur Carole Otsuru with daughters Aiko, Reika and Nicole, enthusiastically arrived early for the love of Mama Remy. Grandchildren First Ravago, Jin Yasuma, Marc Agbayani, Atty. Andrea Muhlach, the cute Chisaki Otsuru, Sharon Pineda and my godchildren Kirsten Agbayani and Ayumi Otsuru are likewise as beautiful as their grandmother.
The presence of other USbased guests included Dr. John Pinches 3rd, retiredSan Bernardino County Administrator Glenn Baude, and Jesusa Lucas Lindow made the occasion more special.
To Mama Remy, who exuded radiance, happiness and pride during her 85th year, Happy Birthday! Albeit it has been a daytoday health struggle for you, we are all eagerly looking forward to many more birthdays, cheering you on to a healthy, blissful and longer life.
