HIPOLITO
MAXIMA BALATBAT
Happily greeted by the “Welcome Committee” those
who came this year
Incredible representations of special
talents by the aunts and uncles
Poems about several family members described
individuals’ personalities
Outstanding characters were discovered
while playing some old games
Life is a forever joy most especially when
the families have a great fun
Innocent little ones simply smiled and had
a truly wonderful afternoon
Time was short, but it felt like a long
time because of the atmosphere
Old and young showed their very best and
special talents in singing
Mouth-watering food and sweet desserts
satisfied the hungry stomachs
All families present prepared their
favorite recipes for this occasion
Xmas was felt by the young children because
of many attractive toys
Impressive are the looks of the youth whose
beauty will last forever
Many souvenirs were shared to the clan that
were mostly Easter kind
Applause and cheers to those who won the
games and sang nice songs
Baskets of Easter eggs filled with
surprises added joy to the gathering
Appetizing were the home-cooked foods that
some were garden-raised
Lechon, oh how crispy, so delicious, so
tender, so juicy, so good to eat!
Amazing were the performances of the children
singing and dancing
The family trees that were constructed are
so appealing and interesting
Beautiful young children looked so happy,
content with ice-cream
All afternoon was spent caring, laughing,
kissing, loving, and sharing
Together, the Balatbat clan enjoyed the
annual event so heart-warming
