Philippine Trade Foundation or popularly known as Philippines, Inc.’s General Membership Meeting and Induction of New Members were held at the French bistro, La Regalade on November 24.
My office was probably 2km away but it took me 35 minutes to get there because of the heavy traffic along Pasay Road where it’s located.
By the way, the name is no longer Pasay Road. Another of that name changes.
I am not interested to know what the new name is. Everyone still calls this road, Pasay Road.
As usual, no one followed the time. I arrived at exactly 6 pm.
Some came at 6:15, 6:30, 7pm and onwards. Okay lang din kasi when I arrived, they were still setting-up the buffet, the tables, etc.
Tonyboy gave the welcome remarks.
I am one of the boys.

Margie Moran was not our member but she came by to invite us to the forthcoming event of Ballet Philippines in January 2012. I forgot the title of the show, basta it’s about TANGO. There would be professional ballroom dancers who would dance the Argentine Tango. I will tell you more about it in January. Tickets are P5,000 per person. I think meron mas mura.
La Regalade owner Tonyboy Cojuangco hosted our cocktails.
There were so much food on the buffet table but none of us stood to get food. Salad and some appetizers were served.
