VERONICA Duterte, fondly called Kitty by family, celebrated her 6th birthday at The Deck of Marco Polo Hotel. Despite the cloudy and lengthy drizzle, young friends and relatives came with parents in tow, enjoying themselves with the free amenities offered around the pool (power bubbles, free candy, juice and ice cream).
Bonjee clowns were around to provide a colorful impression of the party's Hanna Montana theme. Candy colored balloons of pink, yellow, orange, violet and blue adorn every area of the Sarangani Room, the Polo Bistro and the poolside.
In a corner, a young clown created tattoo designs on children's hands and faces.
James Infiesto of Bonjee Clowns provided magic and entertainment to the awestruck young audience. While the highlight of the celebration was Dad Rody and Mom Honeylet helping Kitty blow her cake's candles, another part of the program was an audio visual presentation on Kitty's early years growing up.
I proudly say it because it took me the whole night to prepare the special video.
As the official photographer of the party, I share with you some delightful photos of Kitty's fun event as she grows another year older but still remains to be the apple of her parents' eyes.
