"Last August 14 (2008), Papa got a surprise of his life - a day shy of his 67th birthday, his former colleagues (PNP) friends and family wer're invited to toss a party for him. To keep him from knowing what their plans were, my bestfriend and Shacene's resort manager had to work their plans around him - and this kept going on for the better part of a month.. The fact that they were able to do it is testament to their capabilities - and my father's non-questioning ways.

Call it parental pride, but I must say that seeing the relatives and friends enjoying was a great sight for my father, and I was thinking that if I was feeling this way just for starters, I’m sure the audience come party time would, likewise, like what they will see. Kudos, of course has to be given to Grace Malooy and company for coming up with choreography inspired from Matt Monroe songs. The song, by itself, had beautiful lyrics -remembering the good old days.

Later, my first cousin Ate Gloryfel "Ping-ping Montero- Curada, Uncles Pretextato Montenegro, Brgy. Capt. Susonte Montero and my father's younger brothers Felmore and Ferrer Montero gave their mini speeches - fondly calling him "FPJ"and memorable experiences with him -. Overall, 'twas touching and applauded."

And of course my husband and I were exposed to speaking that same night via phone patch.

At his current state of health, he did say that waiting until his 67th brithday for such a night to happen, was worth it. Papa had a great life - despite its challenges. Surviving a collapsed health in the last few months - beating it and he certainly continues to enjoy life and people. I might venture to say that good Karma is rewarding him.

There were many times I tried to be different from him - yet there were also many lessons I learned from him. That particular night, I monitored every second of what's happening.. glad to to hear many people loving him. I don’t expect a similar celebration in my future… though I surely would like one - I would lie if I said otherwise.

That particular night, I’m sure papa felt well loved by many - and who wouldn’t want to feel that? Great celebration - congratulations to the planners… and I’m glad to have been part of it - even in a small way."

To all the guests, my bunch of thanks for coming.
