GRAND INTRODUCTION OF THE CELEBRANT- _{ENGINEER EDWARD}

BOADO

Born on March 11, 1955 in Ilocos Sur to Ma’am Natividad and Sir Benjamin Boado, our celebrant is the eldest of 6 children. He attended Ramon Magsaysay High School and went to Mapua Institue of Technology for college where he took up Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He is a board exam passer which formally granted him the title of Civil Engineer. Growing up, our celebrant has been very hardworking. In fact, he stood as both the father and the eldest brother to his siblings when their father passed away.

Siya po ang tunay na

big brother.

Inuuna

niya ang kanyang mga kapatid at sinisigurado niyang okay silang lahat kahit na

may kanya-kanya na silang pamilya.

Sa sobrang

hardworking

ni

Engineer Ed

,

dalawang lugar mo lang daw siya mahahanap, sa bahay or sa trabaho,

although we are yet to confirm this later. After graduation, Engineer Ed taught at Mapua as a Professor of Surveying as his first job. Currently, he is the Vice President for Operations in Oreta Constructions, Inc. Being as dedicated to his family and career, our celebrant deserves this night to celebrate his special day with people who matter to him. Friends and family, let us once again welcome, the man of the hour, ENGINEER EDWARD BOADO!

WORDS FROM THE CELEBRANT

Hindi po makakalampas ang gabing ito na wala tayong naririnig

from the celebrant himself. I would like to call our celebrant, Engineer Ed, for a few words.

[SPEECH] Thank you, Engineer Ed!

According to famous John Lennon, you should “Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.” With that said, if we do count Engineer Ed’s age by his friends and by the smiles he paints on peoples’ faces,

hindi lang

siguro siya 60

years old

ngayon. Siguro 100 na. Ngayong gabi po, nagkaroon tayo

ng pagkakataon

to celebrate life and all its blessings

.

From tonight, we see another year in Engineer Ed’s life filled with happiness, love and joy surrounded by his family and friends.

Again, HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY ENGINEER EDWARD!

And once more, I am Patricia Bonifacio, at your service. Thank you everyone for gracing this event with your presence and good evening!
