A worthwhile celebration for non

In a heartwarming gathering at their beautiful residence in Greenhills, San Juan City, the well-loved Nonie Basilio, alongside her doting husband, Bert Basilio, played gracious hosts to her birthday celebration that resonated with generosity and goodwill.

Beyond the jubilant atmosphere, the occasion served as a platform to rally support for the various charitable endeavors championed by the Catholic Women’s Club (CWC), an organization close to Nonie’s heart.
