Businessman Sebastian “Baste” Chua celebrated his 82nd birthday at East Ocean Palace on Feb. 7, welcoming a guest list of politicians, celebrities, and close friends.
First Lady Liza Marcos led the greetings with a video message, while Baste personally handed out Xiaomi power banks to early arrivals.
The party featured a lavish buffet with local and international dishes and a grand raffle of Xiaomi gadgets, including cameras and robotic vacuum cleaners.
VIP attendees included former President Joseph Estrada, Sen. Jinggoy Estrada, Ambassador Teddy Locsin, and San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora, with other notable figures sending video felicitations.
True to his low-key style, Baste let the celebrations and surprises speak for themselves, promising another memorable gathering next year.
