The President didn’t show-up at our conference on March 20. No reason was given but I could only guess that he wasn’t feeling well. I was supposed to attend an induction (with another association) the day before in Malacanang but that was canceled too.
We really thought he was sure of coming because according to our secretariat, Malacanang sent 12 Presidential Security Guards (PSG) on March 19 to check-out the venue.
Secretary Greg Domingo and Sec. Albert De Rosario came instead. Senator Kokoy Pimentel also came by and said hi.
We had good speakers and not boring topics. The pretty Grace Lee was our emcee. We had complete attendance from our officers, members and few selected guests. We had entertainment thru the generosity of Tony Tuviera. Atty. Opap Villongco, Atty. Mike Toledo and Ambassador Joey Antonio serenaded us. All in all, it was a great success, but had the President came, then it would have been fantastic. Super saya sana.
