The Open City – MNLBNL2018 (The Press Launch )

I told my son that I would bring him to Intramuros. I tell him stories every now and then my memorable tings in Intramuros and how beautiful the Open City is…. One time we had a glimpse of some places in Inramuros but I think what I have done is not enough to make my kid understand the true soul of Intramuros.  I and my son were very fortunate in taking part of having to experience and understand a few of Intramuros’ pure soul through our good friend Bette and Sir John.  It was held at Henry’s Hotel in Pasay Ciy… It was such a wonderful place to be with on how our history could be understand and appreciate before we could take part in the certain moment of Intramuros.  Carlos… Ahhh… The amazing Carlos who I only have seen in the televiosn catering and nurturing the Filipinos as well as the Foreign who were willing to understand and be amazed by the beauty and richness and our history in Intramuros. Carlos… of all the people that I have watched for any visual presentation, he made my jaw dropped… He is awesomely perfect as he had us feed with such gorgeous knowledge about Intramuros and the history of our country. I almost jerk a tear when I saw my kid listening with that very curious face to learn more of the richness of the Open City… And so what is this all about???
