Don Ado celebrates life

- HI! SOCIETY BECKY GARCIA

WHEN in come to celebratio­ns, leave it to Lord of Villa Escudero, Don Ado for he does not leave any stones unturned.

On his birthday on July 10, the patriarch surprised his guests with a unique whole day celebratio­n in his hometown at Tiaong, Quezon.

The day started with a solemn mass presided by Father Eric Mercurio and followed by a hearty breakfast. The food feast continued with a lunch buffet and merienda. But the highlight of the celebratio­n came by nightfall, when Ramon Sabella, SM’s biggest retailer of women’s wear, led a dinner fashion show.

Guests were also treated to a mini concert featuring famous songstress Dulce who belted several popular songs. Special guest Ilocos Norter 2nd District Representa­tive Imelda Marcos and company stayed until dinner. Pianist Ingrid Sta. Maria played some pieces on the piano while AP Limpot, son of Jun Limpot, accompanie­d her on the violin.

The celebratio­n lasted till midnight and most of the guests did not mind driving back to Manila. That is how Don Ado is well loved by his friends. To Don Ado, keep the party going!!! Meanwhile, the Japanese are well known for extending a certain level of warmth and attentiven­ess to every customer, foreigner or not. Called omotenashi, this Japanese style of hospitalit­y Birthday celebrant Ado Escudero thanked his guests for coming to his whole- day celebratio­n Nina Gomez and George and Marivic Dycaico can also be found at the Lexus Manila showroom located in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

One can experience and be impressed by this unique quality of the Japanese culture as soon as one steps through the doors of the Lexus Manila building.

Danny Isla, president of Lexus Manila, Inc., said, “We strive to treat each customer as a guest in our home.” The company is generous with their time and knowledge and this can be seen at both the executive and staff levels. “It is like being a member of an exclusive club,” Isla added.

Omotenashi can be seen in every aspect of Lexus’ business. If one puts a high regard on discretion, Lexus has private rooms— with its own driveway— where one can seal the deal and drive away with his or her brand-new purchase. Old and new clients can drop by anytime, dine or even hold business meetings at function rooms where bartenders cheerfully serve unlimited biscuits and refreshing drinks. The service areas also have a separate entrance for privacy, with a waiting lounge for the driver’s comfort.

Lexus dealers worldwide have been cited for helpfulnes­s, attitude and technical knowledge. At Lexus Manila, customer care goes beyond mechanical trouble.

“Providing the highest level of customer care and after-sales service is our mission,” Isla assures.

A visit to the Lexus Manila showroom is always a delight for clients and would-be clients. Lexus Manila, Inc. president Danny Isla (From left) Nancy and Mila Buenaventu­ra, Avic Ticson, Nene Feliciano, Mellie Escudero, Ester Locsin, Sonia Gomez, and Nani Locsin
