BDWP Coffee Table Book Launch Party

Agile Zamora

Cocktail in hand, and coffee-table book in the other. That’s how I multitask, honey! And in style, too. Nothing less when you’re seeing the Best Dressed Women of the Philippines!

We finally launched the long anticipated 2024 Coffee Table Book, ready for everyone to read — and buy of course. It’s for a good cause! As we all know, this is all for the benefit of the Philippine Cancer Society. This year, the launch was at the Forbes Park Pavilion, now packed with over 100 blushing beauties and dashing men.

Roberto 'Bobby' Alvarez, the columnist, Angola Consul Helen Ong with the 2024 Best Dressed babies Happy Melendres, Ces Miranda and Ces Rodriguez.
Dr. Liza Quirolgico and Shy Tan.
Ruby Chua and Mags Que.

My first agenda was to find Tita Helen Ong for a congratulatory "beso" on another successful year! What a turnout! It’s thanks to her and the entire committee that we have another book filled with fabulous features worthy of recognition, which now includes my bestie Bobby Alvarez Jr. a.k.a. the first male honoree and the handsome subject of the back cover.

It was another packed night of partying, performances, and photo ops! Loved seeing my best dressed babies again, and also my gorgeously dressed friends. Congratulations to the whole committee and all the awardees. Oh, go grab a copy if you haven’t seen it yet. It’s worth it! Cheers!
