Birthday celebrants for July, namely Mr. Larry Reyes, Ms. Bel Garcia, Mr. Ronald Garcia, Mr. Nikki Te, Mr. Austin Reyes and Mr. Kyle Garcia blew birthday candles on each of their chocolate cake home baked by Pinang and the “Ang Bahay” kitchen crew. The buffet tables abounding with barbecued chicken, pork and prawns, smoked salmon, vegetable salad, fried chicken, Filipino style spaghetti and “taho” were a feast to the eyes and the tummies of children and adults alike.

Ambassador Virginia H. Benavidez presented two sets of the latest WOW Magic Sing microphones to Property Officer Ms. Monette Garcia and Information Officer Ms. Nicki Garcia as token of appreciation to each and every member of the Philippine Embassy Team for continuing to serve our country and people with a smile, going the extra mile and reaching beyond our grasps.

This special time of fun and fellowship, enjoying each other’s company and partaking of meals at “Ang Bahay” are part of the fulfilling experience of the Philippine Embassy Team in New Zealand.
