A celebration of life
“Every situation — nay, every moment — is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ambassadors, government officials and other dignitaries were among the well-wishers of Claus Sudhoff during his 70th birthday dinner party at the grand ballroom of the Dusit Thani Manila. A German national, Claus has been living in the Philippines for almost 30 years. He is a recipient of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany and is the president emeritus of the Cavite Export Zone Investors Association, Inc. for the past 11 years.
With his better half Connie and daughter Isabel by his side, Claus welcomed his special guests, which included German Ambassador Joachim Heidorn and wife Anna Maria, Philippine Ambassador to Myanmar Phoebe Gomez, Philippine Economic Zone Authority director general Lilia de Lima, former Prime Minister Cesar Virata and wife Joy, Ambassador Delia Albert and former Cavite Rep. Gilbert Remulla.
Many happy returns of the day, Claus!
