A friendship to last

The fun-loving and philanthropic Friends for the Cultural Concerns of the Philippines (FCCP) immediate past president Minerva Tanseco recently enjoyed a series of fun events that drew her and her friends closer. First, Minerva enjoyed the 89th Catholic Women’s Club (CWC) Annual Tea at the Manila Polo Club with the theme Kultura at Kalikasan Natin led by the Annual Ball chairman Letty Hahn. Esther Vibal was also recognized in the occasion for her exemplary contributions to CWC. For a breath of fresh air, Minerva and her adventurous friends went up north to the beautiful Tuguegarao for a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Piat. After 20 hours of road travel, the group felt joy and satisfaction as they poured their hearts out to Our Lady. After the fulfilling pilgrimage, Minerva then trooped down south to Bacolod City for an intimate time with old friends. Nothing but love, fun and pure friendship were celebrated by the group during their stay at Sonia Recto Lopez’s house. Truly, Minerva knows how to have a memorable time whenever and wherever she and her friends may be! Cheers!
