Nothing refreshes the spirit more than being able to celebrate important milestones with your loved ones. I turned 81 this year, but I have never felt more energized and ready to face future endeavors, thanks to the many people who I have been blessed to call family and friends.
At my recent Grace Kelly-inspired celebration held at the Grand Ballroom of The Bellevue Manila, I was touched to see my friends from the diplomatic corps and business and social circles, both old and new. I was reminded of how blessed I am to be able to live a long life, and to age gracefully alongside my loving wife Tere.
To everyone who has contributed to the festivities’ success — thank you, thank you! Wishing happiness and good health for everyone, and I look forward to celebrating with all of you again next year!
Greetings
