First-timers JM Ibarra and Sofia “Fyang” Smith made a stunning entrance at the recently concluded ABS-CBN Ball 2025, held on 4 April at the elegant Solaire Resort North in Quezon City.
The much-anticipated annual event gathered the brightest stars of the Kapamilya network under this year’s whimsical and romantic theme, Spring Formal.
The rising showbiz personalities turned heads as they graced the red carpet together, wearing perfectly coordinated ensembles that highlighted both their chemistry and style.
Their red carpet debut was met with cheers and excitement from fans, who were thrilled to witness their first official appearance at the prestigious gathering.
Ibarra and Smith joined a dazzling lineup of ABS-CBN celebrities, all of whom brought their A-game in fashion and flair. Beyond the glitz and glamour, the event served as a powerful celebration of unity, showcasing the deep bond among Kapamilya artists and staff—both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. The theme Brighter Together reflected the spirit of collaboration and gratitude that permeated the night.
More than just a night of fashion and fame, the ABS-CBN Ball 2025 continued its tradition of giving back. A portion of the proceeds from the event was donated to the ABS-CBN Foundation, supporting programs that benefit underprivileged Filipino communities. The ball once again proved that when the Kapamilya network comes together, it’s not just to shine—but to make a meaningful difference.
