Heart2Heart has added another angel to its list!  Tita Irene Martel-Francisco, the woman behind The Philippine Tatler and Philippines’ Best Restaurants Book.  I was with Mia Borromeo and she was telling me how much she admires Tita Irene.  She has a wonderful heart, Mia told me.  Mia also mentioned to me that the Tatler Ball which she organizes every year, she gives all the money raised to charity.  She does not even deduct all the expenses she spends for the event…. She spends for the event and everything raised goes to charity.  Wow! Thank you Tita Irene!

Though she already gives back to society with her annual Tatler Ball, she decided this year to give back as well with her other publication, Philippines’ Best Restaurants Book.  The publication is on it’s 7th year and instead of having the usual grand launch for the book, she decided to give the money instead to its beneficiary, Hands On Manila.  At the same time, they have rounded up 64 restaurants to join in the cause and will be giving ten percent of its sales for the week August 13 to the 20th.  So let’s all support Tita Irene and help the kids of Hands on Manila.  If you plan to eat out next week, make sure to take note of the restaurants joining the cause…YOU CAN BE A HERO TO THESE STUDENTS!
