3. DFA told me that I need at least two weeks to get a new passport   4. I only have about 10 days before my flight schedule  5. I have a-12 day consultancy work prior to the trip so I don't know where will I find the time to renew my passport.

Tutuban Center at 25

Tutuban Center is 25 years old, but will certainly push for another 25 more.

But for this year’s anniversary celebration, Tutuban Center decided to forego with the usual glitzy celebration by focusing on activities that will help foster a stronger bond with its tenants, suppliers, partners and customers and the community.

Everything was simple, straightforward but with a deeper sense of purpose. This was demonstrated by a blood-letting activity in the morning where many of its employees participated and gamely donated precious blood for the benefit of those in need of it, like those suffering from certain blood-related ailments and other life-threatening diseases.

A Mass was also held in the afternoon in thanksgiving for all the blessings Tutuban Center received the past year.
