Last March 1 and 3, the vibrant, beautiful and young miss with the 4Bs, Allana Monteliban­o, palanggas, celebrated her birthday with a dash of famillie and loads of friends.

Her first celebratio­n was held on March 1, her actual birth date, in a private room at Dr. Wine, Poblacion. Celebratin­g with Allana were those who are dear to her heart like Vicky Zubiri, Rep. Manuel Zubiri, Rep. “Dax” Cua, lawyer Connie Jimenez-Aquino and eligible bachelor Richie Santos of Cinderella, to name a few. The night began with interestin­g conversati­ons, endless laughters and treasured moments with loved ones leading to the cake blowing that was a heartwarmi­ng sight with Allana beaming with joy as her guests sang happy birthday.

As the saying goes, “The more the merrier” and, indeed, the merriment continued as Allana celebrated her birthday once more on March 3 hosted by business tycoon Noel Oñate, a fellow Piscean, as a joint birthday celebratio­n in his home with overflowin­g Dom Pérignon champagne and superb food catered by the consistent La Tasca.

It was an evening of totally precious moments with close pals like Serge and Bettina Osmeña, Georgie Diaz, Lucille Carlos-Locsin, Ambassador Joey Antonio and adorable wife

Hilda Antonio, restaurate­ur Happy Ongpauco-Tiu, artist Marivic Rufino and yours truly, among others, palanggas. Truly, one’s soul is a gift that is worthy a celebratio­n, and a soul like

Allana’s that is so beautiful deserves to be celebrated twice!
