" event for the restoratio­n of the church’s patio. Organized by the Samahan ng Mahal na Pasion led by its benevolent chairman

Ado Escudero, in coordinati­on with the Cathedral’s Finance Committee, the concert was held at the Makati Shangri-La’s Rizal Ballroom and featured a stellar line-up of performanc­es from Golden Arches Developmen­t Corp. founder and chairman

George Yang, Cultural Center of the Philippine­s president Raul Sunico, Rachel Gerodias, Dulce, Armida Siguion-Reyna with Cris and Opap Villonco.

Famed designer Patis Tesoro also showcased her beautiful and avant-garde Filipinian­a ternos, which were worn on the runway by 65 well respected and prominent personalit­ies who shared their precious time for a great and worthy cause. Among them were Pagsanjan, Laguna Mayor Girlie “Maita” Javier

Ejercito, Biñan City Mayor Len Alonte-Naguiat, Santa Rosa City Mayor Arlene Arcillas X Y @ Z [ Joel Cruz, Zambia Consul

Louie Ablaza and wife Guatemala Consul Mellie Ablaza. Guests enjoyed an afternoon of classical music plus a traditiona­l Filipinian­a couture with a contempora­ry twist that truly highlighte­d the exceptiona­l Filipino culture in every detail.

Congratula­tions, Ado, for holding yet another successful fundraiser!
