This 3-day getaway in Boracay is not just
in celebration of my 70th birthday – but also the
70th birthday of all my friends, Maryknoll classmates,
family members, and loved ones who are also turning 70
in 2024, 2025, and 2026.
Let’s all celebrate being "ageless and evergreen"
and welcome the BEST of life yet to come!
