Nothing short of extraordinary

Surround yourself with exceptional people and you will find yourself with your own phenomenal achievements.

There is just something magical that happens when you bring together a special bunch of individuals who speak the language of excellence. This was the evident scenario at the annual gratitude event of Gorriceta Africa Cauton & Saavedra, a
multi-awarded full-service law firm in the Philippines.

I am truly proud and honored for the opportunity to work with the said law firm in executing this brilliant event entitled ASCEND: A Celebration to Honor the Nation’s Most Influential Innovators and Technology Leaders.

The exclusive event’s intention was for Gorriceta Africa Cauton & Saavedra to pay it forward to the prestigious law firm’s friends and clients, while its founder and managing partner, Atty. Mark Gorriceta, celebrated his birthday. And I must say, despite a very rainy 10th of May at Antonio’s PGA, there was overwhelming support and attendance from the most distinguished names in the technology and innovation industry, business leaders, government officials, ambassadors and trade ministers.

As a witness to Atty. Mark Gorriceta’s keen attention to detail and his preciseness in everything that he does, you can always expect the best experience if he’s in charge. It was just natural for the evening to evolve into an occasion filled with synergism and forged relationships as guest host Stephanie Zubiri, a highly respected lifestyle, food and travel journalist, led the guests right along with the sax and DJ pairing of global jazz artist Archie Lacorte and his band into each memorable experience to another. Furthermore, the guests enjoyed the curated wines, bespoke cocktails and the deliberately prepared food menu by chef Cyrille of Antonio’s PGA.
