Mayor Lim greets the birthday girl with a kiss as Cesar looks on. The Father of Manila however didn't stay long and left shortly afterwards.

The two top caliber personalities are currently engaged in a cold war after Manny allegedly snubbed a victory parade prepared by the local government of Manila and its people when he came home from Vegas.

The ballroom's party setup merges the fantasy worlds of Angel Francesca and her parents.

The main stage is decked with Disney heroines like Cinderella, Princess Jasmine of Aladdin, and Little Mermaid Ariel. Replicas of the gold-plated britannium Oscar trophy stand in their midst.

Angel Francesca is as fond of Barbie dolls as much as she's fascinated with princess characters, says Mom Sunshine.

"Mahilig talaga siya sa mga Barbies and mga princesses so naisip namin na dapat yung concept ng party would fit her interests para ma-enjoy niya din talaga."

Party Perks Winnie Go revealed to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that preparations took two months. All the hard work was certainly worth it as proven by the breathtaking designs that made for an explosion of color.

"Pang-awards night ito with matching red carpet!" gushed Giselle Sanchez, the moment she caught sight of the enticing entrance design.

"Hinatid ko lang ‘yong anak ko with her yaya," Giselle told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) after she exchanged pleasantries with Sunshine and Cesar. When asked why, the comedienne leaned over and smilingly whispered, "May racket ako," then broke out with her distinct laughter.

Giselle tarried awhile, making sure that Lia settled down before she kissed her bye-bye.

Cesar was very pleased that friends took time out for Chesca's special day. "Most of them are very busy pero nagpapasalamat ako na they still find time to celebrate my daughter's birthday," an emotional Cesar said.

Party hosts Sunshine and Cesar made sure to keep Chesca's little guests happily engrossed with exciting games and prizes.

As for the parents, well, they were all busy socializing with the other visitors. Some just couldn't get enough of photo ops with the smiling celebrities milling around.

Angel Francesca's cake is a towering candy for the eye.

The cake is colorfully decorated with the birthday girl's favorite cartoon characters and camera-film icing. The kids were in awe!

"Ang ganda naman ng cake," remarked a young guest and laughing, "nakakahinayang kainin."

PEP couldn't agree more.

Ever lovely Ana Roces explains to Sunshine why she's late for the "shooting." The two actresses became friends way back in the time of German Moreno's That's Entertainment.

Better late than never.

Robin Padilla, eyes hidden behind dark shades, arrived at around 4:00 pm. Some of the guests had already left when the Bad Boy of Philippine Cinema entered the room.

Binoe was unable to make himself comfortable right away as the other guests, including the hotel staff, swarmed around him asking for souvenir shots.

"Ang guwapo mo," actress Melissa Mendez said to Binoe, who was obviously flattered. Because he's late and there's no more left in the buffet table, Cesar politely requested for a menu to be handed to Robin.

"Order ka na lang pare, pili ka kahit ano at 'yong pinakamasarap," Cesar told Robin with a brotherly tap on the shoulder.

Afterwards, Binoe told Chesca why he was late: he had a prior commitment.

While Sunshine was making her wish for Chesca before their guests, the little daughter looked directly into her mommy's eyes as if she understood everything.

"She's really listening," Sunshine smiled as she was expressing her wish.
