Celebrating Three Birthdays at CRIBS

What could be a more meaningful way to celebrate 3 birthdays than celebrating it with the staff and wards of CRIBS?
Anna Lissa Payawal, her younger sister Anna Magarita and 9-year old Acusha celebrated their birthdays today in CRIBS.
The elder Anna has known CRIBS since her college days, and promised herself that when she finishes her studies and becomes successful with her career, she would come back.
Now she is back with younger sister Anna and Acusha, who both believe that birthdays are meant to be shared.

It took 3 months to prepare, burning the lines from Hongkong where she manages her travel agency B&S Tour and Travel, for Anna to prepare for the party, with her parents helping on other arrangements.

Father Roberto Reyes, the running priest now based in Hongkong said Mass. He emphasized the 3 birthdays in the lives of Catholics–the biological birthday, baptism and death (which is the birth to eternal life).
The two Annas and Acusha would like to thank the staff of CRIBS, and family members and friends who came, despite the heavy rains, to celebrate with them and bring cheers to CRIBS’ babies and wards at the New Beginning Program. They also want to thank the wards at the New Beginning Program for celebrating with them their happy moments–the gift of life, their birthdays.
