The biggest and brightest stars, along with the top executives of the three major networks, gathered last night, February 23, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of YES!, the number one entertainment magazine in the country.

The NBC Tent at The Fort, Taguig City, was witness to the star-studded event—a night of music, laughter, friendship, and camaraderie among popular celebrities, the people behind YES!, its sponsors, and just about anyone who has given support to the magazine throughout the past decade.

Celebs who let their hair down to party included more than 100 stars and showbiz personalities, making the event the most star-studded affair of the year.

The YES! 10th anniversary party was one of the few events attended by executives of the top two networks, GMA-7 and ABS-CBN. Gracing the party for the Kapuso channel were network Chair, President and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon, GMA Films President Annette Gozon-Abrogar with husband Lito Abrogar, Senior Vice President for Entertainment TV Wilma Galvante, VP for Entertainment TV Lilybeth Rasonable, and Senior Program Manager Redgie Magno.

The Kapamilya channel was represented by network President Charo Santos-Concio, TV Executive Cory Vidanes, ABS-CBN Corporate Communications head Bong Osorio, and Business Unit head Linggit Tan. 

The revitalized TV5 also showed its support to YES! with the presence of President and CEO Rey Espinosa, EVP and COO Robert "Bobby" Barreiro, Creative Services and Entertainment Production head Perci Intalan, Mediaquest treasurer and CFO Anna Bengzon, News and Public Affairs head Luchi Cruz-Valdes, PR Consultant Peachy Guioguio, and contract talent Paolo Bediones.

ROLL CALL. Some stars walked the red carpet before the program started; other stars who had a busy schedule that day arrived later. Showbiz stars and executives, talent managers, writers and directors were coming and going all the time. 

Among the celebs and personalities who arrived early were Margaret Wilson, Giselle Sanchez, Donita Rose, Bayani Agbayani, Wendell Ramos, Sam Concepcion, Dino Imperial, AJ Perez, Ricky Davao, Jaclyn Jose, Isabel Oli, Marichu Vera-Perez, Ricky Lee, Cooky Chua, Conrado de Quiros, Fanny Serrano, and Mr. Eddie Garcia.

Vicki Belo and daughter Cristalle Henares; Jeffrey Hidalgo and sister Arnee; Sylvia Sanchez and her children; siblings Angelo and Kristine Patrimonio; and, of course, the Gutierrez family—Eddie Gutierrez and wife Annabelle Rama with their children Ruffa, Raymond, and Richard Gutierrez.
