A wedding anniversary and a birthday
Birthdays are celebrated every day and everywhere. They are milestones in everyone’s life. While the festivities are different, the events and reasons to celebrate them are the same across all cultures.
Natal days have special significance as they are a commemoration of a rite of passage. It is a thanksgiving day for family and dear friends. For many, a birthday is a celebration of health and happiness.
New York-based Sean Campbell recently visited Cebu to be with his wife Pia Campbell and mom Carmen Campbell for their wedding anniversary and to celebrate his birthday. His mom and aunt Teresin Mendezona personally attended to the details of the party and made sure everyone had a great time. The fun-loving couple were visibly touched to be surrounded by their family and friends, who made time to be with them and celebrate the double milestone.
Civic leader and well-respected educator Mila Espina hosted a Chinese lauriat dinner at the White Gold Restaurant for her many friends and associates. Members from the different organizations such as The WE Care, The Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry and The Zonta Club, in which Mila is actively involved, joined the lively celebration.
The highlight of the evening was the special appearance of Anna Fegi, a former scholar of the Amparito Llhuillier Foundation, who has won several international awards and continues to tour the globe, performing everything from pop to musical theater. She graciously sang a few Broadway songs, which delighted everyone. Mila’s husband Sonny also rendered a few numbers and dedicated the love songs to his partner for life.
