WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE INVITED TO MARVIN AGUSTIN'S DINNER PARTY

OINK! OINK! 'TIS THE SEASON INDEED! ONE of the hottest invites this week was to sample the new menu at celebrity chef and entrepreneur Marvin Agustin's famous BGC restaurant, Cochi by Marvin Agustin, just in time for its first anniversary.

As a broadcast journalist, of course, I brought a whole crew with me, only to step in and see an intimate setup and gathering for friends and foodies. Luckily, we all know Marvin as an easygoing and cool guy, so he indulged us with a full-blown feature of his new menu, even for television.

We thought it would be a laid-back night of eating, but a few minutes after we walked in, Gretchen Barretto and Tony Boy Cojuangco entered with their friend Shaina Magdayao and bodyguards. Of course, we had to chat with THE La Greta! She has been low-key and elusive on social media.

Recently, her photos went viral on Instagram because of her makeup artist, Mark Kingson Qua, who posted her session with him. True to the viral posts, La Greta looks phenomenal and would give Demi Moore and Lindsay Lohan's current glow-ups a run for their money.
