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.

Talent manager Perry Lansigan arrived with his roster of stars, including Geoff Eigenmann, Gabby Eigenmann, Arthur Solinap, Carl Guevarra, Carlo Gonzales, and Jolina Magdangal. Geoff arrived with screen partner Carla Abellana, while Jolina arrived with boyfriend Mark Escueta.
Dingdong Dantes, one of the most anticipated stars of the night, arrived long after the program had ended. Dingdong is also being handled by Perry. His girlfriend Marian Rivera failed to attend the event because she was taping for the sitcom Show Me Da Manny.

Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz came in separately, but both were very late, when only a few guests were left inside the ballroom. But they were still a very welcome presence.
Angel was reunited with GMA-7 senior program manager Redgie Magno, who handled some of her shows in the Kapuso network before, like Darna and Asian Treasures. John Lloyd had a handshaking moment with veteran actor Eddie Garcia, when the latter praised him and said he was doing a good job.
Kring Elenzano and Chrina Cuna of Flippish.com hosted the live web feed of the YES! magazine Party red-carpet event and main program.
