A very shocked Linggoy Araneta entered the Turf Room at the Manila Polo Club for his surprise 70th birthday party. The celebrator went around the room with a smile on his face as he greeted family and friends who came to celebrate with him. Organised by his loving and devoted wife Connie, the venue was transformed into Havana, Cuba for the occasion. Murals of Cuban houses filled the room as well as potted banana plants. Live salsa and Latin music kept the guests dancing all night.
