Before
July 12, Sister Mary Marcelline Riosa reached the wisdom age of 80 years
old. Her former little St. Domitilla
girls wanted to fete their loved group mother who had given the best years of
her life caring for them. But no, Sister
Marcelline would have nothing of this unless someone celebrates it with
her. And so, Sister Regina Kuizon, the
newly elected Province Leader was asked to have another celebration of her
birthday (July 5) for she was away in Mindanao at that time.
This
joint celebration took place at the Euphrasian Community (EC). The party was sponsored by former Domitillan
Emily J. Villacorta and her co-Domitillans also came to celebrate their golden
jubilee at the same time. It turned out
to be a “3 in 1” celebration
instead. The lunch was superbly catered
, all guests were seated in round tables occupying all the rooms available in
EC. After lunch, a program was prepared
for the honorees: Sisters Marcelline and
Regina. A made shift stage was prepared
in the lobby fronting the EC Pavilion and there Emilly Villacorta and Bernardo
Bernardo performed – truly a handsome pair! The following was their Repertoire:
- Duet - Sing
- EJ - Glory
of Love - BB - Smile
- Duet - Sari-Saring
Babae - EJ - Balut
- BB - Hanggang
- Duet - Minsan
Ay Minahal ay Ako - EJ - I’m
a Middle-Aged Woman - Duet - I
Remember It Well New - BB - For
Once In My Life - Duet - How
Do You Keep the Music Playing - Duet - Our
Father/I Believe
Bernardo
Bernardo is a celebrity in the entertainment world and EJ Villacorta used to be
a member of Repertory Philippines in her younger years. It was truly entertaining and the audience
was very generous with their appreciative applause. All too soon it was over, but not leaving
without partaking merienda – cakes galore and ice cream! And of
course, it is something not to be missed -
picture taking for posterity!
