Espina Reports on the ASEAN Leaders Spouses Tour
Sun.Star Cebu - Espina: ASEAN spouses’ la-ag
ONE of the best parts of the Asean spouses program was the la-ag, a cultural journey, a musical diorama giving glimpses of our history, delineating how the Spanish, American and Chinese influences were immersed in our lifestyle. “Impressive, the dancing women, the costumes and choreography were all superb!†said the Indonesian Minister’s spouse who spoke good English. The First Gentleman, Mike Arroyo, over-all chair of the Spouses program, turned teary-eyed when he saw the smiling people, waving and cheering, all throughout the la-ag. Cebu City’s First Lady Margot Osmeña, awed by the synergy of all the activities, sighed, “It’s a miracle. Sto. Niño was with us all the way! The sun shone just when the children started to perform.â€
