A vibrant Bohol fete for Hans!

Genial philanthropist Hans Schoof, a German national from Wiesbaden, recently celebrated his 63th birthday with an unforgettable bash at the luxurious Peacock Garden Resort and Spa in Baclayon, Bohol. His lovely wife Lani and beautiful children Katrina and Chris were on hand to help welcome well wishers. Amidst the breathtaking view of the sea, guests were treated to an extravagant buffet feast complemented with smooth, crisp wines. Through the night, Miss Saigon stars Robert Seña and Isay Alvarez together with operatic singer Jonathan Badon and violinist Jay Cayuca gleefully entertained everyone with their world-class performances. It was indeed one fantastic fete! Happy Birthday Hans!

Serenity and productivity with great friends

Keeping close ties with friends and colleagues is a must for the affable Minerva Tanseco. This is why recently, she had a series of fun and productive gatherings: a fine time with former senator Santanina Rasul and madame Imelda Marcos and a gastronomic treat at the opening of Evelyne Alcantara’s newest restaurant licensed by Lamill Coffee at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig. She then joined her Inner Wheel Club of Manila (IWCM) colleagues for the monthly meeting and at a Rotary Club of Manila talk with Marites Vitug as guest speaker. Minerva surely knows how to have fun and be productive in her every endeavor! Cheers!
