A Birthday is celebrated...

" Recognize that your friendships celebrate your vulnerability and are proof of your humanness."

" I care about my friend's feelings. I take the time to listen..."    

Thursday of July 18th, 2013 is a day memorable to a friend- an erstwhile investigative lawyer on the island of Luzon, Philippines: Leopoldo Ambubuyog.  Actually, he is from Antique, another place in the Visayan group of islands.

Today at the International House of Pancake (IHOP), 5 female members of the Rosary Prayer Group of St. Hilary Church tendered him his natal day observance.  What is remarkable is the fact that this group consisted of the 3 main groups of islands comprising the Philippines  Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. From Luzon, two are from Pampanga, one from Bulacan, one from Ilocos Sur; from the Visayas- one from Antique and another from Negros. I am the only one from Mindanao in the province of Zamboanga del Norte.
