My Life & Family | My Interest



...Cherish your family for they are your treasure
a God given wealth beyond measure...







 
Manila, Philippines
December 1992

Our families in the Philippines get together on December 30th every year. Each family brings food to share with everyone and each one of us has a lot of good stories to tell…

Giving money to the kids during the reunion has been a tradition. It’s our way of sharing the blessings that God has given us for the whole year. Those kids who have grown up and have a family of their own will continue this tradition...




One of the highlights of the reunion is the gift giving… we show the younger generation of our family the true spirit of this reunion… sharing and giving!!!


We also have parlor games for the kids and it always give me happiness whenever I see their wide smiles. The most popular one for them is the “stop dance.”
