Birthday Concert of Dr. Warfe Engracia
Meanwhile, at the Glass House of Montebello Villa Hotel, a birthday concert was held for Dr. Warfe Engracia on his 84th birthday. Organized by his wife Elaine and daughter Dr. Athena Ever, along with her husband Dr. Luke Rey Ouano, the event celebrated a life well lived.
Affectionately known as the "singing doctor" for his rich baritone voice, Dr. Engracia has performed in concerts locally and abroad. By profession, he is a radiologist, but he is also a book writer and an active member of the Order of the Knights of Rizal. In his younger days, he was an acclaimed movie actor in Visayan films.
The dinner gathering turned magical as Doc Warfe serenaded his guests. It was a fitting celebration of a life richly blessed with music and lasting friendships.
