Ground floor
The press hall
The long room with the old presses along one wall. The ceremony at four, then the dancing after dinner. Enter from Escolta, through the plain door with no sign.
The day
Saturday, 13 November 2027. One building, two rooms, and nobody drives anywhere once it starts.
Three flights up
The roof
Dinner at one long table along the parapet, over the river. Up the white stair, or the lift for anyone who would rather not.
In order
The afternoon and the evening
What to wear
Black, white, or anything in between.
Formal, but it is Manila in November, so linen is welcome. The floors are old concrete and the roof is three flights up: choose shoes you can climb in.
