FVR comes back to visit






FVR visited Bangkok once again. He was given an award by the Siam University and as always when he visits Bangkok, he arranges to meet members of the Filipino community. He gave a speech touching on the importance in choosing the right candidates for the upcoming elections. He reminded us that we should choose candidates that will help the Philippines to grow rather than just voting for candidates just because they are famous.

After his speech everyone was treated to a dinner arranged by the Philippine Embassy. During his speech, he mentioned that part of the campaign is "Kodakan" where candidates will have their pictures taken with the people. He did mentioned though that his picture has been taken a lot of times and never saw a copy of these. I was happy that I got invited to this dinner because it gave me a chance to give President Ramos a copy of the photograph that I took of him in 2005. He even authographed a photograph of both of us taken during a previous visit.




After dinner then he started going around the embassy ballroom so that everyone will have a chance to have their pictures taken with him. Here are some of the pictures I took during the event starting with my friends Cocoy, Cecille and Ceres. Everyone had a great time.
