The Visayan DAILY STAR's annual Christmas party this year was a unique Cowboy and Indian themed bash at Business Inn, where everyone came in various cowboy or Indian attires.
Everyone came in the mood to have fun and enjoy the camaraderie of the VDS group. Christmas songs were sung as the guests began arriving. Congressman Bing Leonardia dropped by to greet the crowd and left shortly for another party.
Singing diva Token Lizares arrived laden with gifts and prizes for the party. Dr. Bambi and Jonathan Avelino were there, and so were members of the Board, Paeng Golez and Tutay Corral.
Dinner was a marvelous array of scrumptious party fare, highlighted by two lechons with crispy skins that we kept going back for more.
After we had our fill of the delicious dinner, it was time for the entertainment portion. It began with a contest of production numbers by the various groups. The columnists were the first to perform a Christmas song number, followed by the Star Printing boys.
The Editorial group came fully prepared with a western backdrop, an Indian teepee complete with burning flames, and well-rehearsed dance number. Their performance was followed by an equally brilliant production by the Leo Star group, who showed dancing puppets, and Village People costumes, etc. The cowboys and girls of the Business Department, complete with hats, boots and guns, showed their dancing prowess to the tune of “Ang Kawawang Cowboy”.
Wow! What a performance! All the participants showed their talents in performing that night. The winners for the first prize was a tie between the Editorial and Leo Star, second – Business Department, third – Star Printing, and fourth - columnists.
The games were so riotous and funny, it had everyone in stitches. Fabulous prizes like DVDs, electric fans, food baskets and a 3 day and 2 nights trip to Boracay, courtesy of Radjie Caram, were given away at the end of the program, and made the party super fun for everyone.
It was a blast! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!*
