Rousing Chinese New Year celebration

MANILA, Philippines - As usual, Little Asia owner-manager Charlemagne Lim (third from left in photo at top) staged a Lion Dance during the Chinese New Year last Valentine’s Day at its Greenhills Promenade outlet. The 30-minute dance is calculated to drive away evil spirits and bring good luck. Charlemagne (above, second from left; and right, third from left) is shown with guests (above, from left) Rachel Piazza, Marge Gutierrez, Michelle Tan, and Aubrey Miles and husband Troy Montero; and (right, also from left) Marge (daughter of Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, second from left) and Jessie Gutierrez (the Ombudsman’s husband). Charlemagne said that Little Asia (with outlets on Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City; and Venice McKinley Hill, The Fort, Taguig City) will be open during the Holy Week.
