Happy 100th Birthday Coca-Cola Philippines!

Last March 13, 2012, the Rizal Ballroom of the Makati Shangri-La Hotel turned red! Make that bright, happy, Coca-Cola red! In celebration of its 100 happy years in the Philippines, Coca-Cola brought together cherished partners for an intimate night of thanksgiving. A festive dinner meal was served. Past (read: iconic) Coke commercials kept playing on the gigantic screens, bringing that sense of nostalgia and of course, smiles to everyone's faces. And to top it all, there was a concert romancing the music of Coca-Cola throughout the years!

I'm happy to have been part of this important milestone. This "happy history" as they say. Happy 100 Years Coca-Cola! See the highlights of this beautiful night now!
