                    [Title] => A birthday salu-salo with stars and friends
                    [Summary] => It was such a fun salu-salo, with everybody making chicka-chika with everybody, that not one of the hundred or so guests remembered to ask how old – or how young – the celebrator, Regal Matriarch (Mother) Lily Monteverde was turning that Sunday, Aug. 19. Besides, you don’t ask a woman how old – er, young – she is, whether it’s her birthday or not, do you?
