Feature: Not So Grand Lacson Reunion
Considering the social standing of the Lacson family name, I was quiet
disappointed with the 2nd Lacson Reunion. It didn’t bear the “Grand” adjective
it had for the 1st Lacson Grand Reunion. There was nothing to celebrate about…
ELG with the famous Rose Lacson
What should have been a clarion call to get together and tie the family bonds
led to disarray and disunity. Each branch tried to outdo the others, there was
no sense of grandeur that has made the Lacson name stand out from the rest—even
being called the Kennedys of the Philippines sounded terribly out of place. The
only thing that came to my mind was the bickering of petty complaints why this
branch was called royale and why that branch was designated as pure blood.
Hello! Must you take all that crap seriously?!!!
