Walking into the Grand Ballroom of the Marco Polo Plaza Hotel was like being in Venice for a carnival as the Cokaliong family transformed the place into the dream venue for the 18th birthday celebration of Chesna, the eldest daughter of Chester and Anna Lynne Cokaliong.
Chester, ever the doting father, spared no detail for the momentous event as the guests from Cebu and Manila walked into a red carpet welcome.
The sumptuous food and the wonderful company was not however what were only in store for the guests as the father and daughter tandem of Hajji and Rachel Alejandro performed in a concert to cap the memorable evening.
Chesna’s coming out to society was more than a fitting tribute to a wonderful daughter, a loving grandchild and a great friend.
