Rocking with an ambassador extraordinary
The idea for a birthday celebration started when June- born Eva Abesamis wanted to do something worthwhile for her favorite charity, Museo sang Bata sa Negros, a handson interactive children’s museum.
The museum fronts 32,000 hectares of the Sagay marine protected area where close to 90 percent of the residents in Negros Occidental depend on the sea for their food and livelihood.
Museo sang Bata sa Negros strives to be an alternative center of learning for children so they can reach their highest potential. It assists in trans- forming the local communities’ attitude toward the environment by appreciating the sea and its resources so as to ensure a sustainable marine resource for future generations.
To help out a good cause, Music Man RJ Jacinto — who has weekly shows at RJ Bistro — recently opened his bistro to Eva’s friends, adding a fellow Gemini to complete the trio of celebrants in the person of music lover and diplomat, US Ambassador to the Philippines Harry Thomas.
The evening started with Eva’s good-looking son, David Koenigswater, and his Brat Pack band performing for guests, and then segued into RJ’s dynamic rock ‘n’ roll music that kept everyone on their toes till past midnight. Everyone let loose for a good cause that would help Mother Nature and the future of Sagay’s marine world.
