The downpour that drenched Metro Manila on Tuesday did not dampen the celebration and dinner thrown by President Rodrigo Duterte for celebrities from show business.

Alex and Toni Gonzaga, Robin Padilla, Ai Ai delas Alas, Ruffa Gutierrez and “actor-on-leave” John Lloyd Cruz dined with the President and partner Honeylet Avanceña in what Communications Secretary Martin Andanar described as a “thanksgiving” gathering.
