Surprisingly, another visitor who turned out to be the owner of the old Escolta Church patiently waited and attended the program where his property was mentioned.

Mr. Roberto S. Sylianteng (First United Building Corporation) and Ms. Febe Sevilla.

He lectured about his own blog which contained information about historical places including churches and buildings in Escolta, Manila and in other places which he considered as treasures our culture’s past.  With the help of Mr. and Ms. Sevilla as interpreters, what he shared became more inspiring and touching for the audience.
