What a splendid evening it was at the 2024 Johnny Awards held at the opulent Grand Ballroom of topnotch, five-star hotel Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.

Distinguished guests arrived in their most stunning attire, adding a touch of elegance to this meaningful gathering. 

The Johnny Awards, founded to celebrate and honor luminaries in their respective fields, is always extra-special, as it coincides with your columnist’s birthday, adding a sprinkle of sentimentality to the festivities.

Guests raved about the four-course menu prepared by the chefs and were so delighted by the pacing of the program along with the dinner that while the program ended early, they stayed on to enjoy the conversations.

As the night drew to a close, yours truly could not help but feel grateful for the remarkable individuals who have graced my life with their presence and love, from the cherished friends and family who have stood by me through thick and thin to the dedicated colleagues and event organizers who ensured this gala was a resounding success. My heart is full.
