Arnel AlcalatessHANGING out with Arnel Alcala is one jaw-dropping experience.

It’s like being with a three-dimensional, breathing James Bond complete with the suave moves and the coolest car.

He can walk into a jampacked, exclusive resto without a reservation and a table will magically be available for him. This would be courtesy of the staffers who revere him not as a customer but as a dear friend.

I met Arnel recently in Atlanta, Georgia. Our common friend, Ellen Verdote Hilario, learned that I was briefly in the city and made sure I got to know ‘Mr. 007’.

When we met for the first time, it felt like we’ve been best chums for years. There was no need for awkward ice breakers nor polite ‘hellos.’ We hit it off instantly and talked endlessly about everything, anything.

Despite his busy sked, Arnel graciously drove to the ‘must definitely see’ spots. He made sure not to disappoint me and our sweet Ellen back in San Francisco.

Arnel is a man of wisdom with a big heart. His soft spot for the lesser blessed is legendary. Yet he is discerning. He makes sure that his benefactors learn golden values from his generosity.

The name Arnel is of German origin and means a powerful eagle.

True enough, Arnel Alcala radiates raw power, strength and confidence. Like the mighty bird of prey, he commands respect and inspires.

Ellen also bared that Arnel is a skilled lensman. He knows how to capture the best angles of his subjects. She added that schoolmates, among countless others, are eternally grateful for his eagerness to always lend a helping hand and a sympathetic ear.

Positivity and a likeable nature run in his family’s genes.

Arnel’s uncle Jose ‘Peping’ Osias, a member of the US Navy, effortlessly enlivens a room with his buoyance.

“Maistilo at sobrang daming kalokohan,” Arnel fondly describes his uncle.

On his birthday, family and friends wish Arnel more blessed years of health, happiness and wealth.

On your birthday, Arnel, may you also continue to be surrounded by loving fam and friends and may your career remain soaring like the eagle.

It’s truly a privilege to be your friend. Continue to be a blessing to others, ‘Mr. 007’.
