For a nation of singers, many of us do not sing aloud
For a nation of singers, many of us do not sing aloudMaybe I wasn’t the only one who got a little jealous seeing the Irish sing theirs so loudly at their own events. Theirs is always so patriotic and heartfelt and I wanted to feel that for my own country too. It’s hard not to feel patriotic with the lyrics that came from a Jose Palma poem.I have this habit of listening intently and looking around to see how many people are audibly singing theat another country’s National Day event.
Mexican Ambassador Daniel Hernández Joseph, Makati Mayor Abby Binay, and French Ambassador Marie Fontanel at the Czech National Day event The Spanish ambassador’s residence is one of the most beautiful diplomatic homes I’ve ever been to here in Manila, so I love it that they always use it for their own events. One of the first few times I found myself there was when Queen Sofia of Spain visited the Philippines in 2012.
I remember taking note of the beautiful, mauve walls and how the home with its sprawling garden is just so elegant. Not much has changed since then when it comes to its look but the residence has been impeccably maintained. Even the tapestry showing the symbol of Spain looks like no time has passed since that evening.Ambassador Miguel Utray welcomed his guests on Oct. 12, with everyone led to the lanai and the garden.
