PNB Anniversary

It's been a whole day feast.

Breakfast was cinnamon and mocha care of Bank of New York.

We had 2 lechons for Lunch care of Wachovia and Banque Paribas.

Invited the bank president, directors, other senior officers to lunch ... some came without invitation. They must have enjoyed the experience - someone asked when Treasury will have its next feast. Try Christmas.

The bank theme being Filipiniana, the dealing room had banderitas. Since we wanted to have some semblance of a costume while not having to wear ternos like the Cash people decided to do, the dealing room men wore barong/camiso chino, jeans and bandana on the neck, while the women wore black long sleeve shirts and black slacks with a long piece of cloth hung from the left shoulder and the ends tied near the waist on the right. Milette lent me a folded malong, which is easier to use because I don't have to tie it.

The marketing folk planned some games like "palayok" (try to hit the hanging pot while blindfolded), and Boss Jong actually placed baby powder in the candy-laden pots. We had the janitor cleaning the floor every time the game was played. Then there was the dating game, which was hilarious. Jan gets top marks for having the most outrageous answers.

Had eaten a lot that I didn't eat the dinner provided by the PNB for free.
