Thanks to Dad and Mom for inviting us to join them for this charity dinner event organized by Tita Tita Trillo ( La Vigne December 19, 2007 ) who is Chairman of Titania Wine Cellars and the mom of my Assumption classmate, Roselyn ( Travels with a Gourmet ). It was a pleasant evening with great food, good wine, nice entertainment and all for a good cause, the children of Tondo. Apparently this has been going on for many years already. It was nice because we had a great evening and at the same time it was for a worthy cause.
