PLAYING THE GRAND PIANO AT
NGARCHAMAYONG
ALTHOUGH I didn’t win in the 2016 TFCP Election as Vice
President, I still support the elected incumbent president Aga David and 2 Vice
Presidents.
When
they asked me to play piano during the 118th Independence Day
celebration of Philippines to be held at Ngarchamayong Cultural Center, I
didn’t hesitate and do the accompaniment to the singers who sung all-Filipino
songs.
Palau
Chess Federation President Eric Ksau Surangel Whipps is the Guest of Honor with
his wife Joy Flores Whipps. They are my teammates in the 2014 World Chess
Olympiad in Tromso, Norway. Another teammate in that Olympiad is the emcee of
the event – Baby Edna Mission aka Bheng Codinera Mendoza. In the same ticket in
the election, Ronejoy, is her co-emcee.
One
of the performers playing various instruments is Gladys Anne Paloma, another
teammate in Tromso, and Lanie Kinsiano, who plays the xylophone. She is one of
my music students (piano/keyboard) on Sunday afternoon.
