AHere’s a sneak peek at an evening spent with the cream of the crop!
I had the honor of joining a room full of the most fabulous at the FAAABVLOUS 2025 Photo Exhibit and La Nuit a Paris Gala Night. This was presented in partnership with the Advertising Foundation of the Philippines and Marriott Manila, with proceeds supporting the Hydrocephalus Foundation of the Philippines, the Ina ng Laging Saklolo Parish and the San Juan Evangelista Parish.
The Marriott Grand Ballroom was filled with chic black and white-clad guests. The entertainment? World-class! We were graced by the French melodies magnificently performed by Christian Nagano. And one by one, the honorees of the evening were recognized for their exceptional impact. With spirits in hand and plenty of good spirits to go around, we had an amazing time ’til 1 a.m.
Another fabulous turnout for this event. Congratulations are in order for Rupert Jacinto, Dean Decker and their team for putting this all together. Cheers!
