Baptism of the Year
Unless another celebrity baptism with more pairs of godparents is held before end of the year, the baptism-cum-first birthday celebration for Kai, the second son of Richard Gutierrez and fiancée Sarah Lahbati, holds the Baptism of the Year record.
Held last Sunday (June 16) at Whitespace Manila in Makati City, the “under the ocean”- themed event drew big names from all levels of society — 52 all in all, count ‘em!...business, politics, sports and showbiz.
