Well-Applauded Musical Evening

my LIPS are SEALED… sometimes… - Maurice Arcache -
One of the most applauded music concerts, dahlings, was the staging of the Toyota Classics 2002, featuring Spain-based Cadaques Orchestra guided by acclaimed French conductor Philippe Entremont. Guest artists included Filipino tenor Leodigario del Rosario, who performed to great acclaim, and celebrated guitarist Jose Maria Gallardo del Rey astounded everyone with his dexterity on the strings, palanggas, with a repertoire of works by Joaquin Rodrigo and Manuel de Falla.

During intermission, executives of Toyota Motor Corp. and their partners went on stage to turn over the concert’s proceeds to Tabang Mindanaw III, which is raising funds for Filipinos displaced from Malaysia. The benefactors were composed of Toyota Phils. president Nobuharu Tabata and EVP David Go, Toyota Motors director Yoshio Shirai, Metrobank pres. Antonio Abacan and EVP Arthur Ty. Representing Tabang Mindanaw were Amb. Howard Dee, Ayala’s Fernando Zobel de Ayala and Phil. Daily Inquirer pres. Alexandra Prieto-Romualdez.

Filinvest-Alabang proudly inaugurated its premier leisure development, Palms Country Club, an oasis for relaxation, recreation and famille bonding. Fr. Vitaliano Dimaranan blessed what he called the "fountain of life" which would revitalize those who enter the portals of the club.

The Gotianun famille, palanggas, was present—Andrew Sr. and wife Mercedes, Andrew Jr., Joji G. and husband Joseph Yap. Guests of honor were Muntinlupa Mayor Jaime Fresnedi, vice mayor Jo-Jason Alcaraz, Cong. Raffy Biazon.

Remember, palanggas, "The clear sign of your true faith to our Lord is not what you say but what you practice." Smile. See you.
