A lot of new faces are around. Most of our friends in the business industry are there as well. More than a hundred people attended the party that was held at Mission Hills Clubhouse in Antipolo City, a very special place for me specially during my days with my fellow photographers, hair and make up artists, and fashion models with my Photographers Guild of Antipolo group.
The party was hosted by Mr. Dondie Coronado, and Events Coordinator Ms. Rein Tapales of Events101. Familiar faces are there like Mr. John Barredo of PCCI Rizal, Ms. Fara Carolina Pedracio of Clinica Antipolo Hospital & Wellness Center Inc. Ms. Jinggay de Pedro Lejano of SARAP, Inc., Ms. Cynthia Verdera of Antipolo Star, brothers Mr. Ryan Mariñas of Loreland Farm Resort, Mr. Ramon Mariñas of Luljetta's Hanging Gardens Spa and Mr. Richard Mariñas of OneGlobal Development Inc., Mr. Francis Hallare and Ms. Mikaela Ordas of Le Blanc Hotel and Resort, Mr. Judith Malagueno of ARON Star Travel, Ms. Imelda V. Sayson of Jasil Travel and Tours and Ms. Lisa Marie Delfino of Lizmar Travel and Tours, as well as our neighboring chamber PCCI Taytay and PCCI Pililla are also there.
The food prepared by Events101 Catering was perfect and delicious, and lot of giveaways was given. My wife and I got P1,000.00 gift certificate from Jinsei Massage of Ms. Mia Constantino, and P500.00 gift certificate to Giligan's Restaurant at Vista Mall Antipolo. A game "BATO-BATO Pick, Winner Takes All" sparks the fun and laughter on the floor. Everyone participated and really got challenged with a simple game having a P4,000.00 worth of prize just by playing rocks, paper and scissor, and Mr. Jess, former president of REMAI won it. We were so delighted about the raffle sponsored by Ms. Dawn Salvador of Bright Excel. I wish I won that big box of liquid soap because it's always in my wish list on our annual Angkan Ni Regina grand family reunion(I used it since I started Plain 'n Stripes T-Shirt Printing Center way back 2012). Maharlika Dance Troupe of San Jose National High School were also there with their outstanding dance number.
I was so happy and glad to celebrate the party with my good friends from PCCI Antipolo board members: Mr. Bryant Kim An of KBBEL Construction Supply, Mr. Oliver Darvin of EFT Pilipinas - Emotional Therapy Center, Mr. Ramon Mariñas, Mr. Aldrich Villareal of Marison's Filipino Restaurant, Ms. Bernadette Coronado of BACI Boutique, Ms. Cynthia Verdera, Mr. Anthony Chupunco of Barenaked Body Sugaring Salon, and the new faces I'd just met. After the dinner part, all guests were asked to go outside. We had a toast, shouted for joy for all the blessings we had this year, and hailed for the great blessings of this coming new year, with an awesome 4-minute fireworks. What an incredible experience celebrating Christmas party with my fellow entrepreneurs who knows how to embrace the struggle, and now triumphant in their own business industry.
Everybody hugged and wishes each and everyone a happy Christmas and a wealthy New Year. Before the party ended, a raffle of Michael Corrs and a P120,000.00 Louis Vuitton were given by BACI Boutique. Ms. Jinggay de Pedro almost hit the numbers but Councilor Hon. Bobot Marquez won the prize. Councilor Hon. Irvin Paulo C. Tapales was also there joining us and had a speech in our prestigious event.
The party was great and awesome! Thumbs up with all the preparations made by PCCI-Antipolo BOD, and to all the people who came and celebrated with us. As the party ends, Mr. Oliver Darvin prayed that participants will be doubled by next year. Of course it will be! With the full effort of our board of directors, and with the guidance of all our mentors at PCCI-Antipolo, for sure we will be on our Christmas party by 2019.
Congrats to everyone, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
