  I was invited to the opening of a coffee shop in San Jose Batangas by no other than my best friend, the one and only Reyna  Batangueña – Queenee  Mercado. A brief story, I commented on her post and I thought it was their new house that is under construction, and to my surprise, it is a building being constructed to be their family business- a coffee shop. I am happy and excited at the same time and cannot wait for the opening of their business. Weeks later, I received an invitation to open the coffee shop on May 28, 2023- the date I marked the calendar.

I wake up before sunrise and prepare the things I need including my camera, and drink coffee to awaken my sleeping senses - time check it is 3.30 AM. I took a bath, then dress and set foot in Batangas. While on the bus, I can see clearly what the opening of business looks like, I arrived at the place 15 minutes before the blessing and ribbon cutting, was greeted by the family members of Mercado and handover the bottles of red wine and champagne to Aimon–brother of Queenee, greeted Queenee as she greeted me with her welcoming and sweet smile.



            

     

    Prayer was led by  Queenee herself with family members and invited friends and 
           the Mayor  of  San Jose Batangas - Valentino R. Patron.

    On November 16, 2024, the Lipa Photography Circle (LPC) held its second Fashion Event at the Solano Hotel in Lipa City. The event was originally conceived by NOEL LORETO, the founding president of Lipa Photography Circle, and his co-founder, VAN AMADA, with the help and support of the LPC members—the photographers. The first event was held last August 2024 at BIG BEN COMPLEX and was successful with precise execution. Lipa Photography Circle's decision to hold an event is an effort to bring local artists and or talents together with local designers to showcase their skills in the field of fashion across Batangas, which LPC breaks away from the traditional photo shoot.
