A glamorous surprise for Peter Sy’s 70th birthday

It was an unforgettable evening of love, laughter and celebration at the Friedenhaus Hotel on Leon Guinto Street in Manila, where Peter Sy was treated to a spectacular surprise in honor of his 70th birthday.

Without the slightest hint of what was about to happen, Peter’s partner, Alice Ku, cleverly told him he had a scheduled interview and photo shoot for “Profile Asia” magazine. She reminded him to dress smartly and look his best for the cameras. Little did he know that the “photo shoot” was actually a carefully planned birthday celebration prepared especially for him.

As Peter arrived at the venue, he was left speechless when he was greeted by family members and close friends, all waiting to wish him a happy birthday. The elegantly decorated ballroom featured festive red balloons, including a personalized “Happy Birthday Peter” display that added a warm touch to the occasion.

The celebration was made even more special through the hospitality of Frieda and Jorge Hizon, who ensured guests enjoyed an evening of fine dining and fellowship.

Guests were treated to a lavish birthday feast featuring lechon, assorted sushi, Korean beef stew, Hainanese chicken, salt-and-pepper spareribs, ebi tempura, coffee jelly and an assortment of desserts and fresh fruits.

The evening concluded with lively dancing as guests filled the dance floor to the upbeat music of the Maya Band, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Peter’s 70th birthday celebration was a heartwarming surprise filled with cherished friendships, joyful memories and heartfelt wishes that he will treasure for years to come.
