It took a year and seven months for Mother Lily Monteverde and Batangas Governor Vilma Santos to agree on a common schedule. When they finally did, the actress-politician did the honors of inaugurating the Regal matriarch's Taal Imperial Hotel and Resort in Barangay Tulo, Taal, Batangas.
On the eve of the February-6th inauguration cum blessing, Mother Lily was already at the resort to welcome guests and members of the entertainment press.
Immediately before lunch of the scheduled inauguration day, Governor of Batangas Vilma Santos-Recto arrived for the blessing officiated by Monsigñor Fred Madlangbayan.
