Richard and Raymond Gutierrez's "funky" 24th birthday celebration

Richard and Raymond Gutierrez's "funky" 24th birthday celebration

The Gutierrez twins—Richard and Raymond—celebrated their 24^th birthday party last January 29 at the One Esplanade Place, SM Central Business Park, in Pasay City.

The birthday boy, Richard Gutierrez, reminisces his secret agent persona in the hit action TV series Lupin. Donning a slick suit complete with an angsty expression, the 24-year-old young drama-action hero proves why he was chosen for the tough role.


Gracing the catwalk, Richard is not just celebrating his 24^th birthday together with identical twin Raymond Gutierrez. As revealed during the special celebration, Chard is also celebrating his 7^th year anniversary in show business. The fireworks in the background salute his achievements in such a short span of time.




The veteran and the young blood: Standing side-by-side, Richard Gutierrez and Richard Gomez seem to represent the past and future of show business.

The young Richard however contests such notion by saying that he still has a long way to go to achieve even half of Mr. Gomez's achievements.

Ogie and Janno serenade the birthday celebrant with a song containing lyrics laced with personal information about Richard. The number was utterly hilarious and entertaining!

Chynna Ortaleza—who was Richard's first onscreen love interest in the youth-oriented show Click—Bianca King, Richard Gutierrez, Isabel Oli and Rhian Ramos share a fun moment after their upbeat dance number.

Proving that all's well between them, Raymond amiably grilled his brother and questioned him on some personal matters.

"Mas takot ako kay daddy," reveals Richard, "kasi si mommy laging galit, so sanay na ‘ko. Pero si daddy minsan lang magalit kaya ‘pag nagalit ibig sabihin totoo talaga."

Richard's smile faded the moment he was strapped into the lie-detector. "Ba't ba ko pumayag na magpa-lie-detector?" asked Richard to no one in particular the moment the apparatus was brought to the stage.



Raymond, looking very delighted, took the opportunity to grill his twin brother. The test stunt was culled from John "Sweet" Lapus' Showbiz Central segment, "Don't Lie To Me."

Most of the questions came from elder sister Ruffa Gutierrez, prompting Raymond to tell his brother, "Richard, don't lie to Ate" after each question.

Leading the toast for his two boys, proud dad Eddie Gutierrez first advised Richard and Raymond to love and respect their fans and the senior stars. "Kasi ako man ay senior star na rin," he quipped. Eddie led the celebratory salute. "Sa lahat ng mga nandito ngayon thanks a lot for coming, for supporting my kids... thank you very much. Now I would like to propose a toast to Richard and Raymond."


It runs in the blood: The Gutierrez brothers in full force—Elvis, Raymond, Ritchie Paul and Richard—are all natural crowd drawers and the camera loves them.


The entire Gutierrez family—Annabelle Rama, Eddie Gutierrez, Ruffa, Richard, Raymond, half-brother Ramon Christopher, Ritchie Paul and Elvis—say thank you to everyone who took time out to join the celebration.
