'The lady has flair!'
It was a night of fashionable guests, excellent food and ballroom
dancing! Dr. Evangeline "Gigi" Johnson, president and CEO of the
Our Lady of Mercy Specialty Hospital, celebrated her birthday recently
with a mega celebration. L'Fisher Hotel's La Proa was filled with
her family and VIP guests from the local government sector, business,
medical profession, pharmaceutical companies, civic and society
circles, who came to greet this admirable lady on her natal day.
Gigi looked so radiant in her jonquil-yellow gown as she welcomed
her well-wishers. Everyone enjoyed the delectable dishes specially
prepared for the occasion.
Guests were treated to an audio-visual presentation showing
her achievements (she also happens to be the president and CEO of
various medical hospitals in Iloilo and Angeles, Pampanga). Tributes
poured in for this much-admired woman of substance who has one of
the rarest combinations of public and personal style (beauty, brains,
breeding and integrity).
People from all sectors spoke of their admiration for her genuine
concern for the less fortunate. There were dance numbers galore
presented by her employees who gave their all for their beloved
boss.
Gigi was deeply touched by the show of love and affection shown
to her that night. She spoke of the secret of her success - hard
work and surrounding yourself with the best people. She also paid
tribute to her "mentor," the late Dr. Patricio Tan, who she said,
helped her turn Our Lady of Mercy Hospital into "one of the best
alternative hospitals for the less fortunate".
The celebrator danced with her loved ones to the delight of the
crowd. It was the cue for the rest of the guests to start their
ballroom dancing until late into the night. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. GIGI!*
