I had the pleasure of meeting a very warm group of people in Sept. 8, from http://thegrf.org headed by no less than Mrs. Gerry Roxas herself, also the Executive Director Ms. Agnes Villaruz, Lani, Nap, Oliver, Mike and their other key people. Of course, also present were Nicon and Angie from the office of Sen. Mar Roxas (http:.//marroxas.com) who are doing a great job helping out in the website development.

I probably had less than an hour speaking to them, and you can tell how intelligent and kind hearted they are.

When I got home tonight, I told my mom about my day as I normally do, and mentioned, I just came from a meeting and met Sen. Mar’s mom, and she quips, “really, you met Judy Roxas?” i said “oh you know her name?”, (coz i didnt know her first name) then mom said “she is very famous in Roxas City” (my mom taught in a school in Capiz for a while). And the next thing i do is check her name on the internet http://iloilocityboy.blogspot.com/2006/07/judy-roxas-grand-doyen-of-ilonggo.html and http://www.thegrf.org/cms/news.php It’s really cool meeting her, she asks great questions and says the right things, and communicates it really nicely. Well, what can one expect from the woman behind powerful men! She’s a Sparkling woman really.

The Gerry Roxas Foundation has helped a great deal of people and its just awesome to be in the midst of a group whos hearts are all out into creating a positive impact in the lives of our countrymen specifically in the ARMM region in Mindanao.

More power to the Gerry Roxas Foundation.
