Malacañang Heritage Mansions Management Center
The Philippine Ambassadors' Ladies Association (PALA) hosted their annual general assembly and thanksgiving in the mansion lobby. This was an afternoon tea event which centered on a 55-minute piano concert of classical and Filipino compositions performed by two Filipino international concert pieanists, Ms. Mariel Ilusorio and Dr. Abelardo Galang II.
"With the Ambassadors’ Ladies playing host, the merienda musicale could not help but hit the right notes. A grand piano, one of 10 residing in the mansion, sat at one end of the hall. Under brilliant chandeliers, the guests sipped their tea, coffee, or wine."
