Senator Imee Marcos recently hosted a lavish 95th birthday celebration for her mother, former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos, at their family’s residence in San Juan. This event followed President Bongbong Marcos’s celebration at Malacañang Palace the previous day, marking the matriarch’s actual birthday on July 2.
The garden party, held in the late afternoon, exuded a festive atmosphere reminiscent of a provincial fiesta. Despite its relaxed ambiance, the celebrant, adorned in her signature traditional terno in royal blue, stood out among guests clad in red, a nod to the Marcos family’s political color.
Guests enjoyed a sumptuous Filipino buffet, featuring a lechon and dirty ice cream station. The event drew notable government officials and entertainment figures, including the Villar family and the cast of “Maid in Malacañang,” a film depicting the Marcos family during critical moments in Philippine history.
Director Darryl Yap and actors from the film series, including Cesar Montano, Ruffa Gutierrez, Cristine Reyes, Diego Loyzaga, and Ella Cruz, joined the festivities. During a cake-cutting ceremony, Direk Darryl hinted at a future “Maid in Malacañang” series, generating excitement among attendees.
Amid tributes showcasing Imelda Marcos’s interviews and significant projects, discussions buzzed about potential future collaborations between Senator Imee Marcos and Direk Darryl. The event highlighted Mrs. Marcos’s enduring influence and sparked anticipation for the continuing saga of the Marcos legacy in Philippine cinema.
