bulong pulungan sa westin

i attended a "bulong pulungan sa westin" at westin
philippine plaza lunch time today. it's a media press
conference that discusses various topics every week. it's a
nice concept made up of different media... tv, dailies,
etc... they hold this every week and they usually pay for
the food lang at a discounted rate of P175 each. it's a
chance to discuss issues. sr. even told me it could go
really controversial!

today they discussed the festival of twins... it's really
exciting because this will be the first in asia. they had
triplets and twins interviewed in the press con and it's
really fun.

they also promoted Carlos Alberto Ibay, a blind pianist and
tenor... and a Filipino! His voice is kinda like
Bocceli's... anyway, he has an upcoming concert this feb 27
at the ccp... he grew up in the states, played the organ at
2, the piano at 7 and played in Europe, all over America,
etc... he knows six languages also! Impressive!

i'm excited on feb 21 where the festival of twins will take
place! i can't wait to hear bo sanchez talk also! =) and

carlos ibay will also play at the event.
