Using inspiration from Carmina’s wish she could have her own solo concert on her 50th birthday, they threw a surprise party with their closest friends in and outside showbiz at a bar and lounge in BGC, Taguig City.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNk2qCeSLm3/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A1144072.6999999993%2C%22ls%22%3A34314.300000000745%2C%22le%22%3A34755.90000000037%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="856" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558354605111.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558354759542.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558354901903.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558355030614.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558355141115.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558355266326.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558355386557.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17558355525308.jpeg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/8/17/mavy-legaspi-on-his-mom-carmina-villarroel-finally-turning-50-you-are-the-heart-of-our-family-1507"><strong>READ: Mavy Legaspi on his mom Carmina Villarroel finally turning 50: ‘You are the heart of our family’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Cassy shared what went down during her mom’s special night and shared snapshots and included a reel showing just how suprised Carmina was when she stepped into the venue that night.
