A special gathering

MANILA, Philippines - Everyone will agree that there is no stronger bond than family and what better way to celebrate such a powerful relationship than over a meal with people you love and care about? Close friends are often thought of as relatives and this is true for Minerva Tanseco (seated, second from left) who recently broke bread at the residence of Ilocos Norte congresswoman Imelda Marcos (seated, fourth from left) while catching up on good times with great company. Sharing in this joyous occasion are (seated, from left) Lulu Tinio, concert pianist Ingrid Santamaria, Philippine Dental Association president Dr. Cora Flores, and Dr. Pete Ong. Standing are Joseph Yu, Conchita Romualdez Yap, Ping Valencia, BDO executive Maurice Lim, Manotoc brothers Borgy, Matthew, and recently sworn in lawyer Michael with Charlie Yu.
