Multi-awarded trio back from US concert tour

- ••• Libera in PH • • • Another feather to her cap • • •

Merjohn Lagaya, performed heartwarmi­ng and astounding shows for their audiences in the following cities: Chicago, Dallas, Tyler, Houston and McAllen, Texas; Seattle; Las Vegas; Phoenix; Union City, California.

Their repertoire included crossover classical-pop, OPM, and upbeat selections, to name a few.

Libera, an internatio­nally renowned all-boy choir from London, is set to perform in the country early next year.

This was confirmed by Philippine Veterans Bank (PVB) Chairman and CEO Roberto F. de Ocampo, OBE. He will produce an album for the boys titled “Libera Sings America,” which he hopes to release in the Philippine­s before the year ends.

Past Libera albums include “Luminosa,” “Free,” “Vision,” “Peace,” “New Dawn” and “Eternal.”

The concert and PVB’s “new look” are both in line with the bank’s goal of strengthen­ing its position in the retail banking market as a revitalize­d, dynamic and vibrant institutio­n.

Info-tainment is also part of PVB’s new look, with five panels and a display screen called the History Zonethe. They will display the World War II history of Pasay City through vignettes and images. The History Wall at PVB branches is a lasting tribute to Filipino World War II veterans and their courageous deeds and valor.

Also at the launch were PVB Chief Operating Officer Nonilo C. Cruz and Pasay City Congresswo­man Emi CalixtoRub­iano and City Mayor Antonino G. Calixto.

Of the 10,370 who took the PRC Licensure Board Exam for Real Estate Brokers last May 24, only half passed. Among them is Nerlisa “Elyza” F. Rivera – part time actress, full-time mom, and author of inspiratio­nal books.

The last time we saw Elyza was at the premiere of “Gangster Lolo” (she played a nun in the movie). Before that, she was seen in “Edukasyon.”

It is nice to know that there is a new PRC certified licensed broker among showbiz personalit­ies.

Her husband, Usec. Robert Rivera, on the other hand, has been busy with speaking engagement­s in different gatherings, discussing how to cope, overcome, manage, and survive cancer through Jesus Christ.

Back as Board Director of RPN 9 after his early retirement as president and CEO because of his health condition, Robert has once again set to motion the airing of DWIZ’s highly rated programs on RPN’s selected provincial stations.
