Elizabeth Felicias Gaston-Puey, popularly known as “Christy Love,” celebrated her 80th birthday recently at Nature’s Village, Talisay City, Negros Occidental.
Beth started her career as a disc jockey at the Manila Broadcasting Company-Bacolod (DYEZ) in 1980, handling a program titled “EZ Listens to You.” Aside from sharing music and ideas, she also shared household, health and beauty tips, as well as showbiz news/gossip in another program, “At Your Service.”

At her birthday celebration, she was entertained by her children with her favorite songs of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock n Roll, during a program hosted by her grandson Ryan Anthony Racela, also known as DJ Ryan of Magic 89.9 in Manila.*
