On 28 June, The Queen city of the South reigned in full glory as Philippine fashion once again made a mark in one of its celebrated home of treasured design talents. The phenomenal regalia of Philippine Terno Gala 2025 unfolded at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
The long list of society royalties from the renowned historical destination graced the coveted event in their most stellar style. The seemingly endless red-carpet was an homage to the well-heeled as they honored their most celebrated Terno.
The grand ballroom was bursting with style in a sea of breathtaking Filipiniana. Fashion showcased an outstanding display of design both by Cebu and some of Manila’s masters, namely, Cary Santiago, Jun Escario, Protacio, Edwin Ao, Joey Samson and Jojie Lloren. It was an unforgettable night that was a spectacular study in masterclass. Each notable designer presented the artistry and excellence in their art.
The Philippine Terno Gala 2025 was made possible by the Cebu City Government through the Cebu City Tourism Commission and all the commissioners headed by Atty. Joy Pesquera, to Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino headed by GM Ali Banting and Conventions & Events Director Feirlyn Decasa, to the Cultural Center of the Philippines with President Kaye Tinga, major sponsons Ali Agri Exim, Dr. CRB, Ben Chan, Jennifer Ty of Diagold and, most importantly, the genius and mastermind behind the event, the celebrated Cary Santiago.
The glittering and dazzling night to remember is a memory to last a lifetime. It’s a testament that the Philippine Terno is alive and the legacy lives on with the support of the country’s cultural institutions, fashion empires, brands and icons. Daghan kaayong salamat!
