Bogo’s Grand Lady Turns 88!

Paciencia Jo Verallo (Na Pacing to friends and relations) celebrated her 88th birthday with a concelebrated Mass by Bishop John Du and Rev. Fr. Trinidad Silva at CCTN, Ayala Business Park last January 19.

After the Mass, a dinner reception followed at the Casino Español de Cebu attended by some 100 family relatives and friends. San Remegio Mayor Mariano Martinez and his First Lady Ada graced Na Pacing’s birthday celebration.

Passage of time has preserved Bogo’s Grand Lady. She has maintained that ever-popular poise and elegance that many of her peers have observed. Na Pacing is revered with love and respect by people who know her.

Choir during the Mass and music at the reception was provided by The Oasis of Love.
