It’s not a ball without Belvedere!

You know how party-loving girls like me just want to go all-out in a long-planned night-out with friends. At the 2nd Philippine Fashion Ball, that’s exactly what happened. Grand is, of course, putting it lightly how the biggest night in fashion collected the showbiz greats and fashion stalwarts dressed in their best to celebrate the industry. But that’s just talking about the rare occasion of gathering the pillars of the industry in the same room. The vision of uniting the industry, and putting a heart to the occasion for a wonderful cause just made everything all the more effective. And where else do you plan to stage grandness but in the fantastic Rigodon Ballroom of The Manila Peninsula. And Belvedere, that oh-so-perfect blend of flavors just never fails to make me go gaga over just about any party I go to. Dressed in my best black dress and that Belvedere overflow? Now that’s a Ball!

The hosts: Tim Yap, Phoemela Baranda & Raymond Gutierrez
