A photo of my mom (lady in black with fan) with the then President Ramon Magsaysay ( tall gentleman on right) at the Malacanang Palace with the Delegation to Malacanang, Adult and Vocational Classes, L.W.V.P. - 4th Congressional District , Manila, Philippines, Circa 1956. The Adult Vocational Classes L.W.V.P. - 4th Congressional District in Manila was one of the administration's programs to help adult women learn a skill to do business.. My Aunt Julie Pobre (on the farthest right with a big smile) and my mom, Cristeta Soriano Abad, were heading the the mission of helping adult women learn home economics, specifically cooking and sewing classes, and other arts and crafts.
