Birthday banquet
“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” –– Ralph Waldo Emerson
The National Commission on the Role of Filipino Women chairperson Myrna Yao recently celebrated her birthday with an intimate dinner at her plush home at Essensa. The celebrator, who is also the COO of Richwell Trading Corp. and corporate secretary to the Camarines Coco Industry, was joined by some of her beloved relatives, friends and colleagues. It was a truly enjoyable evening.
Happy birthday, Myrna!
In the company of beloved ones
A special gathering was recently hosted by Dr. Elenita Binay and Nene Leonor at the Shang Palace, Makati. The event was a despedida for the newly appointed Ambassador to the Holy See, Mercy Tuason, and a bienvenida party for Mely Hechanova. Guests enjoyed a delectable meal comprised of the renowned restaurant’s most delicious dimsum platters. It was a truly enjoyable get-together and a wonderful way to celebrate time with friends and loved ones. Cheers!
Blissful gatherings
After a hard day’s night at the office, beautiful and successful friends would gather for exquisite food, wines and just while the time away and temporarily forget the rigors of their businesses. Truthfully speaking, I attend these gatherings primarily because the ladies are so interesting, well dressed and well versed in their chosen fields of expertise.
More power, ladies!
A fete-ful day
In wanting to honor her friends, the newly appointed Ambassador to the Vatican Mercy Tuason and Nene Quimson, the most gracious Carol Garcia held a special merienda-cena at her luxurious residence.
