Birthday and thanksgiving

Real estate developer Vladimir “Vladi” Gonzalez celebrated his birthday at his residence at Ayala North Point in Talisay City, Negros Occidental, recently, which coincided with the blessing rites of his house.

Present at the special occasion were his real estate partners Robert, Eddie and Peter Po, Bacolod Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus “Thaddy” Sayson, councilors Carl Lopez, Archie Baribar, and Em Ang, Bobby Coscolluela, Wilson Gamboa, JV Hinlo, and architect “Chick” Garcia.

Vladi says he is very much thankful for his family, especially his wife, Angeli and their five kids who specially planned the celebration for him, as he normally does not celebrate his birthday with a party, in the past 20 years or so.

Two of their children jetted in from Manila to be with their dad for the special event.

Vladi said he was also thankful for his Batch ’83 classmates at La Salle High School and to his Manila-based his in-laws, friends and relatives who took the time out to be with him.

During dinner, a video was presented about his real estate project and the wishes and greetings of his employees.

Guests and well-wishers who numbered around 100 were treated to a superb dinner and singing and dance.

To Vladi, a happy birthday and more celebrations to come.*
