The Johann Strauss Society of the Philippines Foundation Inc. (JSSP), under the leadership of chairman Monaco Consul General Fortune Ledesma, president Olga Martel and vice president Gambia Consul Agnes Huibonhoa, recently hosted an elegant dinner reception to formally welcome newly appointed Austrian Ambassador to the Philippines Bita Rasoulian.

At the dinner, held at Chef Jessie in Rockwell, Makati City, guests got to know the new ambassador as they enjoyed scrumptious dishes.

Known for promoting Austrian classical music in the country, the JSSP has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the Austrian Embassy for many years and it looks like this fruitful partnership will continue on for the days to come.

Welcome to the Philippines, Ambassador Bita Rasoulian!

A fun holiday in the ‘Land of Smiles’

Chat and Hugo Lozano recently took their adorable kids Rocco and Patrice on a memorable gustatory and shopping holiday in Bangkok, Thailand. Joining in the fun were their doting lola Beng Fores and aunt Minerva Tanseco.

What a wonderful way to build memories!
