A global celebration of diversity and diplomatic ties
Wonderful fellowship took center stage at the 48th Annual Consular Ball, a glittering affair held at the Grand Ballroom of Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. Organized by event chairperson, Monaco Consul General Dr. Fortune Aleta Ledesma, with the help of event co-chairpersons, Gambia Consul Agnes Huibonhoa and Tanzania Consul Betty Chua, the event brought together diplomats, business magnates, and industry leaders in a celebration of cultural diversity and international relations.
Spain Consul General and outgoing Consular Corps of the Philippines (CCP) dean Javier Mariano Martin Garcia and Fiji Consul and incoming dean Jesus “Susing” Pineda, Jr. shared insights into the evolving landscape of foreign partnerships.
With the support of patrons like the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) and Philippine Airlines, the gala stood as a resplendent testament to the enduring impact of diplomatic engagement and the unbreakable ties that bind nations together.
The CCP, through its year-round service projects, exemplifies both camaraderie and a commitment to community development and corporate social responsibility.
