Thanks to Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother fame, the word legendary entered the pop culture. The problem is the true gravitas of the word lost its impact. A true legend never has to declare legendary status. Such is the case with national treasure Armida Siguion Reyna, who has left her mark on our musical heritage, television and film history and has had an insider's view into our politics, both as the sister of Senator Juan Ponce Enrile and the friend of another legend Imelda Romualdez Marcos, and as a congressional candidate and the head of the MTRCB. The book launch of her memoirs/authorized biography was an elegant yet still low key event filled with bright stars from showbiz, business, society and her closest family and friends. The book was spearheaded by her daughter Monique Villongco and it is both the story of a life and a firsthand history of a vital chapter of television and film of our nation.
