IT WAS her birthday on June 10, and what better occasion to wish Margarita Onglatco best, and for many years to come.
Her son Edward Onglatco as president and CEO of Hyundai Cebu was inaugurating the new Hyundai South Cebu showroom at the North Reclamation Area with quite a crowd of VIPs and well wishers.
The showroom has an area of 6,500 square meters, making it the largest for Hyundai in the whole country. This follows the success of the Hyundai family in Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Tacloban, Tagbilaran, and Cebu North in Mandaue.
Helping Edward Onglatco entertain the numerous guests was his pretty wife Danessa Onglatco and an efficient staff. Corporate VIPs present were the following:
Hyundai Asia Resources President and CEO Maria Fe Perez-Agudo, and senior VP Jun Cortez.
Hyundai Motor Company Asia & Pacific team General Manager Je Sog Ryu, and assistant manager Claire Chae;
Hyundai Cebu chairman of the board Edward Go, and Chief Finance Officer Ladis Avila Jr.
Margarita Onglatco is the corporate treasurer, and once more we wish her the best.
Drumbeaters, thank heaven they were outside, provided the noise that is attendant on occasions like this one. Cebu culture was well represented by a Sinulog performance to honor the Santo Niño.
There was a surprise number from Brazilian model and actress Daiana Menezes who was much applauded for her brand of songs.
