KISS 102.3 FM Valentine Love Marathon

Okay, so this is a very late upload but I just had to share this with you guys. For three straight days during the week- long celebration of Valentine's Day, the airlanes got extra romantic with the Valentine Love Marathon of KISS 102.3 FM, Bohol’s number one FM radio.

Making it extra sweet was the presence of a trio of lovely Boholana beauty queens & campus personalities who graciously accepted the station’s invitation to go onboard as guest disc jockeys.

Sofia Hontanosas Inting @ 18

It was exactly how the celebrant wanted her 18^th birthday bash to be celebrated. A low- key and intimate thanksgiving dinner with family and friends yet retaining some of the frills & trimmings of a debut party of course. 

Sofia makes a wish and expresses her gratitude to everyone

Taking the spotlight a week ago was the charming Sofia Hontanosas Inting, the second of three kids of businessman Rey Ramon S. Inting & vivacious Sharon H. Inting.

The celebrant beams with pride & joy

Sofia, a Grade 11 senior high student  from BWS initially wanted to forego a celebration and instead go for an overseas holiday trip with family to celebrate but at the last minute, she was convinced by close friends and peers to celebrate with an 18^th birthday party. After all, turning 18 is a milestone in a girl’s life.

A wacky moment to treasure forever

Her friends and family practically did all the last- minute preparations and seeing the joy and the incessant chatter and banter among the young guests was more than enough to give her special day a thumbs up.  

Dr. Pura S. Inting, Judge Nonoy & Esmie Hontanosas

Seen at the celebration were Sofia’s grandparents, Dr. Pura S. Inting, the grand dame of Tagbilaran Community Hospital and Judge Nonoy & Mrs. Esmie Hontanosas. It was so heartwarming to see and reconnect once again with the Inting and Hontanosas families and their friends.
