Neri: Happy occasions

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

NOW on its 12th year, the 2012 Cebu Yearbook (a project of Sun.Star Publishing, Inc.) was launched at SM City Cebu with the opening of a photo exhibit. The photos on display concentrated on three themes: Celebrate Cebu, Timeless Cebu and Underwater.

The theme of this year’s issue is “Celebrate Cebu,” hence it focuses on the entertainment scene and the people in it. This is in addition to the yearbook “staples” which include Business & Economy, Information Technology, Governance, Life & Culture, People, etc.

For the 100th birth anniversary of his beloved father, the late Toledo Mayor Marcelo Barba, USA-based Dr. Jose “Bebe” Barba came home to gather relatives and friends for a a night of remembering. The late Mayor Liloy Barba served as mayor of Toledo from 1955 to 1978.

The dinner celebration was a lauriat affair at the ballroom of the Grand Convention Center. Helping Bebe in host duties was sister Marlene B. Sanchez. Dinner and dancing and a lot of reminiscing were the order of the night. It was a happy, happy reunion of long lost relatives and dear, dear friends.
