Birthday celebrations are usually characterized by loads of food and drink with accompanying fun, but most often, the presence of the celebrator’s loved ones and friends is what makes the occasion really special. Celebrating at a beautiful setting doesn’t seem to hurt either.
Thus, it was no surprise that Tatler Top Hostess, Iloilo Woman of Style, Philippine Red Cross (Iloilo) Director and Miss Iloilo Committee Co-Chair Sarah Opolencia-Peña decided to celebrate her birthday bash at the stylish brick house of her cousin twice removed Elena Javellana.

Here, there and everywhere making sure everyone was having fun were the celebrator’s ever-supportive husband Judgee Lopez Peña and their accomplished daughter Dr. Risa Pena-Sarabia and her better half Dr. Red Sarabia.
The guests were seen enjoying the buffet spread prepared by the celebrator’s favorite chef Wilson Esparancilla and his team.
As nothing but smiles could be seen all around, it was a very happy birthday indeed.
