Hero Ko si Papa, a simple celebration given to our simple father

As per GMA 7's banner headlines during Rizal's 150th birthday - HERO KO SI RIZAL, well this blog is my way to give tribute to our hardworking, soft spoken, ever reliable, the genius and talented man of our construction business and the 6TH MAN in Your Events Team - HTV Sr.


His siblings call him "Ingkong", we call him "PAPA", his friends and cousins call him with his nickname "Dick", his grandsons and granddaughters call him "TATAY"... but whatever his monicker is he will always be our dear FATHER ... kaya nga HERO KO SI PAPA.


This Father's Day, we had a simple celebration at Aristocrat SM San Lazaro as our tribute to our PAPA, we thank God for giving us such a WONDERFUL FATHER.

 

HTV SR., my father - The SIXTH MAN in YOUR EVENTS TEAM -

June 20 is father's day.

This blog is about my father.  A Tribute to the SIXTH MAN in YOUR EVENTS TEAM.  I call him the Main Man, to go-to-guy in terms of logistics, transportation, set up troubleshooting, our team's driver, the events watch guard  and one of my inspiration.  He and my mother CPV are the reason why I have this business.  They are business owners - their business sent us to school, gave us food and made us who we are now.  It is because of them that gave me a different perspective about having my own business.

 HTV Sr. is proud Cebuano from the Villagonzalo Clan - he is the silent but ever reliable and supportive person that he is in all the events we had.  He was there when I started, whenever there's a wedding event, whenever I have meetings - he's always there.

Here is a picture of HTV with the limousine in Fernbrook.

HTV or "papa" as we call him and "tatay" as his apo's call him or "HTV" as his work colleagues and staff calls him, is a Construction Contractor by profession.  He may not be a licensed Civil or whatever Engineer but he has the knowledge and skills of an engineer, architect and manager combined - in fact I would say more - HE IS A LIVING PROOF THAT EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER.  He has the eye for every details and the greatest attitude - very kind in heart, compassionate, god-fearing and truly a good natured person.

I got my WACKY and FUNNY side from him - 

Here's one picture that shows our acting prowess hehehe... I am the real estate agent and he is my client hehehe ...

another acting that we did in one of the bridal fairs - I told him to act as if he was sleeping hehehe...

And as always this is his favorite photobooth shot - ala criminal shot hehehe 

He's a well-versed traveler which makes it advantegeous on our part because he knows every streets, every highways, every shortcuts, knows how to strategize in the road and the best of all - a very good defensive driver ...

and what I love most about him is that he is ALWAYS GAME - 

So I hope through this simple blog post he'll know that I am very privileged to have worked with him in my business, in all our events and in our life (I'm sure my team would say that, too) ...

More than that, I am proud to say that HE IS MY FATHER. Happy father's day, papa!
