History was made when Sarah Medina became the first female to head the organizing committee. Her fingerprints were everywhere, ensuring that every detail ran smoothly and seamlessly from start to finish.

Food and drinks flowed freely every night, peaking during the awards ceremonies on Saturday, where excitement filled the room as tons of prizes were raffled off — highlighted by a brand-new BMW, which went to Charlie de Leon.

Thirty-eight lucky individuals also went home P38,000 richer.

Balladeer Martin Nievera added a touch of nostalgia during his performance, regaling the audience with his classic hits that included, “Be My Lady.”

In short, Mango Tee 38 was unforgettable — and she’s already got everyone waiting for her next appearance.
