Arriving at Singapore’s impressive Changi airport is always a joy and a foretaste of this island republic’s perfectly ordered world. The half-hour drive into town on highways lined with giant acacia trees and blooming bougainvillea provides a refreshing welcome all the way into the lushly landscaped city center.
A chronicle of unique experiences, unforgettable places and happy occasions that celebrate life . . . It began with a phone call last September. Ayala Foundation’s Fernando Zobel de Ayala shared the exciting news that Prospero World, a UK-based philanthropy advisory group, wanted to mount a Philippine Fashion Show in London in the spring in aid of Ayala’s Center of Excellence in Public Elementary Education (Centex) program. I was happy to become Manila project coordinator for the proposed charity gala event.
