“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” — Vincent Lombardi
In wanting to commemorate a genuinely significant milestone, Ann Puno ensured a majestic dinner reception at the One Esplanade for her husband, lawyer Rene Puno, as he celebrated his 54th birthday and his 25th anniversary as a practicing lawyer. The distinguished lawyer is successful in his career as he is also a managing partner of Zulueta, Puno and Ferrer Law Offices. His partners, lawyers Antonio Zulueta and Inocencio Ferrer who offered a toast to their dear friend, were present at the grand event along with many of the celebrator’s family and friends including his sons Luis and Yago Puno, brothers Interior and Local Government Secretary Ronnie Puno and lawyer Dong Puno, and his beloved mother Priscilla Puno and father Justice Ricardo Puno Sr., who gave a special birthday message for his son.
Guests were entertained with exceptional performances by the Ateneo College Glee Club, the Tala Children’s Choir, The Company, saxophonist Jun Figueroa, concert violinist Macky Chua, global performer Ding Mercado, comedienne Cynthia Patag, renowned composer Willie Cruz, Eric Bañez and his band and the Saint James the Great Parish Catholic Praise Ministry of Ayala Alabang. It was a truly memorable evening and an appropriate way to celebrate such a commendable career.
Happy birthday, Rene!
