It’s not everyday we see a couple celebrating their 55th wedding anniversary. This was the reason why the children of Roland and Poten Silvosa honored their parents with a Thanksgiving Mass and a special blessing from Msgr. Roberto “Boy” Alesna when the couple marked their “emerald wedding anniversary,” 55 years of love and marriage. Following the Mass, the “emerald” couple had a big dinner reception cum dancing at the Grand Convention Center with some 300 relatives and friends who came to congratulate the “still strong” couple. As dancing was the name of the game that evening, the emerald couple never got tired of dancing with the young ones.

And speaking of celebrations, Bembem Costales celebrated her birthday differently. She asked her friends and guests so simply, “Please bring rice instead of gifts so I can give this to our feeding program especially to the Jesu Christi Community of which my Mom Virgie is a member.” Halleluiah.
