It was definitely an affair to remember for everyone who attended the solemn and festive celebration of the Feast of the Ascension held at the mesmerizing Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort in San Pablo, Laguna.
The breathtaking resort, a famous tourist destination among locals and foreigners alike, was a sight to behold as it was beautifully decorated for the special occasion.
Gracing this worthwhile event were close friends of the Escudero clan, all wearing elegant Filipiniana attire. Meanwhile, the indefatigable Villa Escudero Plantations and Resort owner and family patriarch Ado Escudero made sure that everyone had a great time throughout the day.
Guests enjoyed the festivities, which included a Higantes parade, a concelebrated Mass at the resort’s chapel, a fluvial parade, a sumptuous luncheon at the Wedding Hall and lastly, a procession of the Risen Christ back to the ancestral house.
A fitting ending to the wonderful gathering was a grand dinner served to the remaining guests and the hardworking resort staff.
Cheers to Ado for organizing yet another meaningful and remarkable event!
