Charo glorious at 70

Three of the country’s leading men, dapper in their suits, handsome in their film star aura, serenaded Ms. Charo Santos-Concio, as she celebrated her golden (50th) anniversary in media and entertainment at the Grand Ballroom of Okada Manila on Nov. 5. The event was also in celebration of Charo’s 70th birth anniversary.

First to come out on stage was Piolo Pascual, who sang Can’t Take My Eyes Off You, followed by Jericho Rosales, with his entry, How Deep Is Your Love. Finally, it was Dingdong Dantes' turn to play sweet music, Till There Was You, with the celebrator.

Earlier, Piolo 'lamented’ that most of his acting projects with Charo cast them as mother and son.

“Mabuti pa si Dong, na-kaisa,” referring to Dingdong’s leading man role to Charo in romance-drama Only We Know.

All three leading men, said to be among Charo’s favorites, thanked the former ABS-CBN president for the kind of one-on-one friendship she offered and, most of all, the pieces of advice she would dish out.
