The heavy rains did not stop celebrities from trooping to C3 Events Place last September 24 to celebrate Bong Revilla's 42nd birthday.

-
Together with his wife of 21 years, Lani Mercado, Bong hosted an "anything goes" type of party. Both adults and kids, politicians and stars had fun!

When Aga Muhlach arrived, the world seemed to have stopped and all eyes focused on him.
Here, he is seen ribbing the birthday boy with what seemed to be, "Another year older, Bong!"

Ogie Alcasid seemed lacking of something...or someone. Oh yes, ladylove Regine Velasquez, who is presently in the U.S. for a series of shows.

Gretchen Barretto did not even have to make an effort for people to gape at her when she made an appearance.
She used to be linked to Bong and had an episode when she supposedly was not in speaking terms with Lani. Those facts alone made her presence truly exciting, to say the least.

Gretchen Barretto made the event a little more exciting. She was seen here making the rounds and exchanging hello's with Annabelle Rama and Eddie Gutierrez.
