A Presidential birthday treat
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as if everything is.”
— Albert Einstein
A high profile birthday celebration was recently hosted by prominent society couple Mely and Paing Hechanova in honor of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo at their plush Forbes Park residence. The event was attended by a veritable who’s who as top government, business and society leaders including members of the diplomatic corps gathered together to greet our revered President who came in an elegant black gown.
Among those who attended were First Gentleman Mike Arroyo, Jaime and Bea Zobel and STAR EVP Grace Glory Go.
Happy birthday, Madame President!
