They reach for their dreams together

 Today we celebrate the solemnity of All Saints and Martyrs. This calls for us to meditate and pray upon our dearly beloved who have already reached the blessed land.

A most colorful luau night was recently held at the Aeternum Columbary, the first true garden columbary in the country, in celebration of its in-house sales and marketing group launch. The successful event started off with a mass by Fr. Elmer Basas who gave a soul inspiring prayer. Some 200 guests were welcomed by the dapper Fort Park Estate, Inc. president Jan Vincent Paredes Mercado together with his lovely wife Claire and visionary IPM chairman Isabelita Paredes Mercado. Realtors, brokers, prospective buyers as well as friends and guests enjoyed a sumptuous buffet replete with grilled chicken with Melba toast, barbeque pork brochette, mango crab stack and succulent lechon. Classical music was provided by the Three Peaks Music while guests enjoyed a song and dance number by the marketing and sales team. There  were also a raffle draw and an amazing fireworks display.  Aeternum is now a must visit place especially for health and wellness enthusiasts of all ages who practice Qi-gong and Tai-chi for free every Saturday.

Congratulations!
