Anytime between now and New Year’s Day, businessman and beauty guru Ricky Reyes and his family, including 93-year-old wheelchair-bound mother Ada, are all set to make the big move from their huge two-story house in Valle Verde, Pasig, to a more modest condominium unit in nearby Greenhills.
There was no trace of sorrow, only innocence and enjoyment when the cancer-stricken children sang for visitors at the opening of the new Child Haus at 90 Mapangakit Street, Barangay Pinyahan, Quezon City.
The Court of Appeals has affirmed the ruling of a Pasig City regional court that convicted a tabloid publisher and its editor for libel in a suit filed by beauty parlor magnate Ricky Reyes in 1995.

In my book, what makes my friend Ricky Reyes rare isn’t only because he has millions (of money; my social demographics isn’t really heavy on the billionaire sector), but also because he’s always quick to admit to—if not brag about—his latest beauty procedure.
