Here’s a shout out to my former colleague, good friend, and brother in Christ, Architect Perpetuo “Dodong” Arambala, who is celebrating his golden birthday today. Bro Dodong, as humble, as simple, and as down-to-earth as he is, topped the Architecture Board Exams when he took it not so long ago. He is currently the Corporate Architect and an esteemed member of the Executive Committee of Alturas Group of Companies. He and his beautiful wife Ritzel “Etching” Arambala are franchisees of Body and Sole Spa and Ystilo Salon outlets in Tagbilaran City.
