MANILA, Philippines – A grand and fun night of music, dancing and games marked the 60th birthday of the still lively SosaJB Property Management Corporation president and chief executive officer Jeffrey R. Sosa.

The night was indeed grand as it was held Monday at the poolside tent of the five-star Dusit Thani Hotel Manila in Makati City. Great food was served and a live band filled the house with trip-down-the-memory-lane music.

But the celebration is just like that of a typical 60-year-old birthday celebrant—simple but meaningful.

Family members, friends and guests from the business sector including executives from large corporations and members of the Rotary Club of Makati and Makati Chamber of Commerce and Industry joined the celebration.

Heartfelt messages from some of his loved ones and close friends were also said.

His birthday cake is a simple three-layer with just a single candle. And just like any birthday celebrant, with his family members gathered around him, he made his sincere birthday wish before blowing the candle.

Sosa, who is Lipa-born, is a father to three daughters, two of whom are helping him manage the family business. He attended Far Eastern University for a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration in the University of the East.
