Hail to the Chief

A fellowship night hosted by the indefatigable and talented lawyer Ferdinand Topacio in honor of Supreme Court of the Philippines Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin recently took place at the Hilton Hotel in Newport, Pasay City. Attended by University of the East (UE) alumni and members of government, business and law sectors who have been inspired by the exemplary chief justice, the event was a wonderful commemoration of a well-respected lawyer and statesman. Here’s to you, Chief Justice Bersamin!
