This year’s U.S. Independence Day marks the 249th anniversary celebrated by the “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.”
I joined the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines in a star-spangled celebration in Shangri-La The Fort. It was well-attended by friends, diplomats, business leaders and beyond.
But even with all guests in glam, the good ol’ Fourth of July favorites and American classics were present: pizza, donuts and hotdogs that remind us of family cookouts and Hotdog Eating Contests. They even recreated the feel of fireworks with the ceiling decor using balloons. How creative!
Truly a red, white and blue-themed event from the venue to the details. Much like the spirit of togetherness during the Fourth of July, we fortified the bonds of our countries celebrating Philippine-American Friendship, too.
It was an all-American experience here at home. Thank you to the US Embassy for celebrating with us. Proud to be #FriendsPartnersAllies with the U.S. Looking forward to the 250th year next year — I’ll be ready to sparkle like the sky on the Fourth of July. God bless America! Cheers!Consul Amelia Ablaza, Chit Lijauco and Millet Mananquil.
