“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” — Anne Frank
It was a delightful evening of epic proportions as the astute and gracious philanthropist, the dynamic businesswoman Lourdes Barbero-Ramos, gathered her family and closest friends for a plush thanksgiving celebration at the Peninsula Manila in Makati City. After almost a decade of not getting together, the family members and friends were all elated to see each other again at the event. They had the chance to break bread and reminisce happy memories together. The festivity went according to plan as the gathering fostered joy and warm camaraderie among the guests, leaving them teary-eyed as they realized that such a heart-warming event encouraged stronger ties among them all.
Congratulations to Lourdes and her friends for making this successful event possible!
