SLOVAK PRESIDENT IVAN GASPAROVIC WILL VISIT RSFS

   
     Three days more and an awaited moment after almost a week preparation with the DOT secretary, Malacanang and IA will come.  I am in a wondering what will occur during his visit, Ivan Gasparovic, the Slovak Republic president.

     Tour guiding was never a hard task for me whomever the guests are whether government officials, celebrities, artists, ambassadors or even any presidents of other countries but it was always in the preparation stage that I am having a bit butterfly in the stomach.  Of course I wanted to present the museum at its best and me and my staff were at it all the time I am very confident with them especially in times like this and some co- employees from the national office are very cooperative giving all their efforts and ideas for my activities.  It was never the VIP's who frightens me because I know for sure I can easily give them the necessary information regarding the museum and others and I am also sure they are one of the kindest human beings who will listen very intently, who will ask many questions and who will also share their own experiences.  These people actually excites me because I will have another opportunity to meet and talk to them personally and those moments would be embedded in my mind forever and I will have another story to impart my kids and my guests.

     This moment is a recalling time of some prominent guests whom I had facilitated a tour; Pascal Couchepin, president of the Swiss Federal Council in 2007, Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Jan Fischer some years back with our Chair Ambeth Ocampo who toured him around Fort Santiago, Mayor Willy Brown the former mayor of San Francisco  California and many more.

     I hope I can get new ideas from this personality because when I read his biography he is kind of amazing, his achievements were so surprisingly great and he is also an author of two books which I am sure has touched lives and I hope to have one; Thinking Nationally, Feeling Socially and Decent Life for All.  Judging from the titles of his authored books, those rouses the inner self of his people.

    Right now I am really looking forward to meet this great leader.
