It's December and the Christmas fever is at its peak here in the Philippines. Parties, events, gift-givings, Christmas sales and giveaways, and Christmas decors are all over.
This year, Himlayang Pilipino decided to hold its Christmas party at Montebello Villa Hotel on December 15 with me and my son Jerald Kervin as among those invited for the occasion.
It was a fun-filled event where all of us went home with cash and gifts. I was even lucky to come home with a brand new stand fan!
Thank you Himlayang Pilipino..
I got a call last week from the Cebu City Government's Cultural and Historical Affairs Commission (CHAC) asking for my attendance for the December 14, 2012 meeting with the commissioners regarding my proposal to hold the Pedro Calungsod (John Paul II Celebration Exhibit 2012) on December 28 at the city's museum.
On the day of the meeting, the commissioners were in full attendance led by Cebu City Vice Mayor Joy Young who is also the chairman. I presented the concept of the exhibit to the body who were all very excited. Immediately thereafter, I got the full approval from all the commissioners.
It's official, the Pedro Calungsod (John Paul II Celebration Exhibit 2012) opens on December 28, 2012 at 10:00 AM at the Cebu City Museum and coincides with the Anniversary Culmination Party at 12:00 noon at the El Jardin of Montebello Villa Hotel, Cebu City Philippines. Both events are part of Cebu Stamp Club @ 15 Anniversary Culmination Event.
Thanks to all the CHAC commissioners and staff..
