International Container Terminal Services , Inc. annual stockholders held......
Just recently that I have developed a habit attending annual stockholders meeting of various company's in the Philippines primarily because of over flowing coffee, tea and Juices ( Pine apple, apple, mango ,orange).
To be true it also bring me to a different places of events venue which is extra ordinary. Some of this places are only a place to be dream off ,beautifully design and exceptionally done architecturally.
This new acquired habit of mine, introduces me to some one in the who's who , respected , accomplished personality in the corporate world .
In the recently , concluded annual stockholders meeting of International Container Terminal Services , Inc., presided by no less than its Chairman Sr. Enrique Razon held at Solaire Resort and Casino proved a new adventure again for me.
Lounging in side , the Solaire Resort and Casino newly opened ( Nov. 2014) , Sky Tower ( all suites room only) , lounge area bewildered me with a feeling like " send in the clouds". With grand piano playing its all round organ with a jazzy tune " send in the clouds", and the greatest hits of all time repertoire ,made my life to a new heights of endless discovery in the rapidly urbanites landscape of the new Manila Reclaimed Bay.
The Sky Tower , reception area is truly magnificent. Its emblem is, its ultra grand high ceiling pyramidal dome, made of clear glass clasped with an all white steel balustrade .The dome, picture the passing rolling cotton clouds and turquoise sky , all on its natural beauty and sun light.
The ambiance is perfect. The piano music accompaniment is just a back drop from the artificial cascading music by running water falls . Aged ferns ,hydrangeas are every where.
The center piece of the Sky Tower , reception lounge area is the grand piano elevated enough for its demeanor. Accented with ultra chic sits design from a minimalist ,yet exudes an elegant of cleanliness .It upholstered with a virginal white Belgian leather with a black edge wood lining .
Every walls on along the lobby, is decorated with large frame murals on canvass of oil paintings .
Much more alluring , when one would decides to feel and grasp the 360 degrees ambiance of the place , one would love to book for a night stay in the sky tower suites with "gusto".
Imagine sun bathing your self under the summer sky ,or sub merge your self in the bluish refreshing water of the swimming pool by the bay , just beside the Manila Sea break water . Or just lounging by the pool sits with your couture origami abaca hats source from Bicol, with your "buko juice" on the side.This one of a life time escapade is worth a million experience ,if you spend it with Solaire Resort & Casino.
Bring back, to my sensibilities and the mean reason that brought me to the enigmatic place is the annual stockholders meeting of International Container Terminal Services , Inc.,
Today's meeting ,that the following newly board of directors is nominated and voted with out question .They are , Mr. Jon Ramon Aboitiz, Mr. Octavio Victor R. Espiritu(independent), Mr. Joseph R. Higdon (independent), Jose C. Ibazeta , Stephen A. Paradies, and Andres Soriano III.
