A worthwhile contribution
Trusted legal educators, lawyers Manny and Hazel Riguera, also the review director and managing director, respectively, of the country’s premier hub for aspiring lawyers, Jurists Bar Review Center, recently made a remarkable leap into the publishing sector with the launch of Legisperit Publications Inc. This enterprise came into fruition during an intimate dinner hosted by the lawyer couple at their home, which was attended by the crème de la crème of the Philippine legal world.
With a dedication to upholding authors’ rights and a commitment to producing topnotch literature, Legisperit is set to empower future legal minds beginning with its debut offering just in time for the 2024 bar exams, Remedial Law Bar Review Outline: Based on the 2024 Bar Examination Syllabus (Vol. 1, Civil Procedure) by the company president Manny himself.
This book is available for pre-order online at https://legisperit.com/ together with Vol. 2, Special Proceedings and Special Writs, Criminal Procedure, and Evidence, as well as Legal and Judicial Ethics with Practical Exercises: A Syllabus-Based Guidebook for the 2024 Bar Examination by respected experts in Legal Ethics and Professional Responsibility, lawyers Hilarion “Larry” Buban and Judy Lardizabal, all groundbreaking contributions to our legal community.
A night of elegance and celebration with emmy
Club Bulakeño president Emmy Florentino Gonzalez celebrated her milestone 70th birthday at Dr. Wine, the hippest watering hole in Poblacion, Makati City.
Organized by her lovely daughter Andrea and joined by her sons Marco and Carlo with his lovely wife Rosette, the beautiful celebrator welcomed 40 of her closest friends to a sumptuous feast specifically prepared by the restaurant’s talented chefs. From the starters of the Seafood Tower, a selection of fresh oysters, clams, and mussels, and the famed Doctor’s Platter — a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, and sausages — to the main course of striploin steak, Osso Buco with sauteed mushrooms, potato gratin, and the all-time favorite lechon, it was truly a feast for all.
In attendance were former Club Bulakeño presidents Milo Bondoc, Sonny Tanchanco, John Gaddi, and Virma Vergel De Dios, as well as friends from the business, social, and philanthropic communities of the woman of the hour. With music provided by Marcy David, everyone danced the night away until the wee hours of the next morning.
