Dara, popularly known in the Philippines as "Pambansang "Krung-Krung" when she became the first grand winner of ABS-CBN's reality-based talent search Star Circle Quest (SCQ) ten years ago, has not forgotten her showbiz roots despite her achievements in the global scene.

She hosted an advance birthday celebration in Manila last Saturday, November 8.

The exclusive birthday bash was reportedly attended by her friends in the industry including Sam Milby, Erik Santos, Christian Bautista, Joross Gamboa, Sam Concepcion and girlfriend Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Luis Manzano, Vhong Navarro, Ryan Bang, Robi Domingo, Sharlene San Pedro, Nash Aguas, and Alexa Ilacad.

Online sources said Dara's Star Circle Quest batchmates Melissa Ricks and RJ Martinez were also present at the party.
